Piastri laments ‘not best race ever’ despite first F1 podium in Japan
Australian driver Oscar Piastri finished in third place in the Japanese Grand Prix, securing his first Formula 1 podium.

Piastri expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and his happiness for earning a trophy in his first season. Many teams had to make multiple pit stops due to the high degradation levels, while Ferrari and George Russell opted for alternate strategies.
