“It depends a bit on the schedule [with the simulator],” Piastri added. “It could be just time the week before, often more during the week before… sometimes Tuesday could be a simulator day so you have to train on Monday, fly into McLaren on Tuesday, use the simulator, train some more on Wednesday and then arrive at the track that night or Thursday morning for media day at the track.
“If it’s like Australia or in Asia you probably fly out, say the weekend before just to get used to the time zone and the jet lag, and for that medium sim before.”
