McLaren Racing’s Oscar Piastri started Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix from pike position and that is where he finished claiming victory just ahead of his teammate Lando Norris.
Speaking following the race, Piastri said:
It’s been an incredible weekend, and the car has been mega the whole time. The tyres behaved very differently to the earlier sessions in China but the race we’ve managed to pull-off this afternoon has been excellent. The support from the grandstands and all the papaya fans has been terrific and we can be proud of the 1-2 result we’ve secured through hard work. I’m looking forward to some time back at the factory in preparation for the upcoming triple-header
