Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri both have had impressive junior careers. While Leclerc’s F2 season is regarded as one of the finest F2 championship seasons, Piastri won his F2 championship in a more dominant fashion against some tough competitors. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that despite the fact that both pilots were victorious in their first season, they each drive uniquely. However, recently an Ex F1 driver has drawn a comparison between Oscar Piastri and the Ferrari driver.

As we are all aware, Leclerc signed with Sauber shortly after his outstanding junior performance, and in 2019 he was promoted to one of the top F1 teams, Ferrari. The Monegasque successfully demonstrated his talent at Maranello and is now viewed as the team’s best chance to end their championship slump. And if we look at Piastri’s career, the rookie will be making his debut in the upcoming campaign with Mclaren.

He said that Prema engineers reckon Piastri is better than Leclerc. Piastri won the F2 and F3 championships with the Prema Racing Team.
