F1 is finding itself in a difficult situation. Drivers join the series a lot younger than in the past(majority are in their teens still) and careers can be longer as well up to 15-20 years - Meaning at some point there is no space for new drivers to join and I think this is what has caught Piastri out. And even good and not great drivers have longer careers than in the past (i.e Ocon, Bottas, Magnussen, Grosjean etc) - I am not saying they are bad, but they are not all time greats like Ver or Ham or Leclerc - and they still get up to 10 or 10+ years in the series because they start early.
But then again in 2018-2019 we had 5 exciting rookies joining the grid , so maybe this is just something cyclical and unfortunately Piastri was caught on the wrong side of it for the moment - hopefully something opens up for him soon
