Piastri was seventh and 10th respectively."From the last two years, it's certainly been the hardest race of the year that we've had," the Briton told reporters."So my expectations are not to the same level as Mexico, Brazil, where we've been performing very well for a good amount of years."But we've had an excellent year and we've improved in places that we've struggled in the past. So I'm certainly coming in with more confidence than in previous years, but not the same amount of confidence as going into the past few races," he added."Expectations are still high. I'm still coming here to win and to want to repeat the last few weekends that I've had. But I think it's going to be trickier for sure than the last couple."Source: ReutersNewsletterRecommended ReadSubscribe to CNA's Recommended ReadA single handpicked story that we think you shouldn't miss.
