Oscar Piastri delighted McLaren fans by finishing fourth in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix – but they might be a little less impressed by some answers he gave in a bizarre interview he spent hooked up to a lie detector. The early questions were relatively easy fodder for the Australian driver as he was asked if England were a better cricket team than Australia (no) and whether he had ever lied to a Sky Sports presenter (yes) which Piastri answered truthfully. ‘I don’t think I have,’ a sheepish Piastri replied. ‘No,’ Piastri said, but the detector determined that was a lie, leading him to add, ‘OK, apparently I have.’. Then Lazenby took aim at Piastri’s relationship with teammate Lando Norris and the McLaren team. ‘Yeah,’ Piastri answered, but the detector came back red as Lazenby erupted in laughter. ‘Yeah, yes … [but] the lie detector doesn’t know!’
