The McLaren racer had something to celebrate himself in Abu Dhabi…
In the 2024 F1 season, Oscar Piastri joined the ranks of Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen as the fourth driver to complete every single lap of a grand prix season, totaling 1,444 laps. He was the only full-time driver to achieve this feat, with teammate Lando Norris coming closest, completing 1,437 laps. Piastri’s accomplishment was crucial in securing McLaren’s constructors’ title, even though he did not win the drivers’ championship. Despite not claiming the title, Piastri did notch his first two grand prix wins in Hungary and Azerbaijan. Several other drivers, like Ollie Bearman and Lewis Hamilton, also had impressive completion rates, with Hamilton narrowly missing out on completing all laps due to setbacks like an engine failure and a spin-off.
