00:00Oscar Piastri on the lap to the grid has lost it and sustained significant damage to his car
00:10he seems to be okay he's moving but oh for the defending constructors champions
00:17and for the home hero and a man aiming to become the first australian to finish on the podium in
00:23his home champion world championship grand prix this is the start they really didn't want it he's
00:28okay he's clambering out the car this is what happened and this is just the formation lap
00:33the the laps to the grid we had last year isaac hadjar on the formation lap spinning out and not
00:42making the starts in his first ever race but this is Oscar Piastri's 71st grand prix start got on the
00:49curb and then that just lost the control and over to the wall bernie collins alongside me in the
00:56commentary box here this is heartbreak for Oscar Piastri he's out of this race that is heartbreak
01:02but watch the front left the front left i think is damaged before he goes he contacts that corner
01:09so just watch the front left suspension here as he goes onto the curb now on the right hand side
01:16oh no i i think it was all right it was just whatever way i left it on that first
01:21replay i
01:22thought the front left left but this is not what you expect on a dry reconnaissance lap to the grid
01:29this is not what any of us i mean he's he's on the scruffy stuff but enough cars run over
01:36that these
01:37cars this year with a 50 50 split between the combustion engine and the battery the electrical
01:41power there's so much more torque in these cars but that is a the sort of incident you would not
01:49expect
01:50a driver of Oscar Piastri's caliber to be making Oscar Piastri won from pole here last year he is now
01:57wondering if he can actually get into the race itself after Melbourne last year last week where
02:03he didn't get into the race after that crash it just couldn't get any worse at the start of the
02:08season
02:08for Oscar Piastri so what's gone wrong with Oscar there's a different issue for Lando Norris on the
02:14other side of the garage and was planning on letting him by there but oh what a sad scene two
02:20races in a
02:21row for Oscar Piastri Academy Awards in LA tonight the F1 movie up for four of them
