McLaren driver Oscar Piastri has described a frightening moment during the São Paulo Grand Prix when he was forced to take evasive action to avoid George Russell's stationary Mercedes on track.
The incident occurred during the race at Interlagos, with Piastri characterizing the situation as "scary" in post-race comments. Russell's car had come to a halt on the circuit, creating a hazardous obstacle for approaching drivers at high speed.
Piastri managed to navigate past the stopped vehicle without contact, but the episode highlighted the dangers posed by stranded cars during live racing conditions. The Australian driver's quick reflexes prevented what could have been a serious collision.
