Oscar Piastri’s sensational start to the new F1 season sees him lead the drivers’ championship over team-mate Lando Norris.
Oscar Piastri expressed pride in the methods that have elevated him to the top of the drivers’ standings rather than just being the championship leader. The Australian racer has claimed victory in four out of the six grands prix held so far this season. He currently maintains a 16-point advantage in the drivers’ championship over his teammate, Lando Norris. Despite encountering difficulties in the Melbourne race, where he finished ninth due to late-race rain, Piastri has demonstrated remarkable resilience since then. Piastri emphasized his satisfaction in the hard work and reasons contributing to his championship lead, highlighting the importance of overcoming setbacks and the joy in understanding why he holds the top spot. His recent success includes winning the last three races, a feat not achieved by a McLaren driver since Mika Hakkinen in 1998.
