Following a difficult start with the MCL60 the Woking outfit introduced a successful series of updates from mid-season onwards that moved the car up the pecking order.
Rookie Piastri logged two podium finishes in grands prix plus a sprint race victory, while his team-mate Lando Norris made the top three on seven occasions.
Piastri hopes the team can maintain that sort of momentum into next season and be competitive from the start at all venues.
“I think as a team we've tasted a lot more success in the second half of the year,” he said. “I think we're fully expecting next year to go into the year fighting for more, or at least making our good weekends we've had this year every weekend. But I'm sure Mercedes and Ferrari have the same idea.
“So we will try our best, definitely try and start it a little better than we did this year. For myself, I feel like I've got much more experience under my belt. And hopefully I can use that for whatever position we find ourselves in.”
