Formula 1: Piastri Emphatically Wins Spanish GP, McLaren Secure 1-2
Spanish Grand Prix: Oscar Piastri delivered a dominant performance to win the Spanish Grand Prix and further extend his lead in the championship standings. The 24-year-old Australian led a McLaren 1-2, ahead of teammate Lando Norris with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc rounding off the podium.
Starting from pole, Piastri built an early advantage as Norris lost out to Max Verstappen at Turn 1. Although Norris quickly regained the place, Verstappen surged past both McLarens during the first round of pit stops to take the lead. However, the Red Bull driver’s early second stop returned the lead to Piastri, sparking speculation of a three-stop strategy.
That gamble became clearer when Verstappen pitted again late in the race, just as a Safety Car was deployed following Kimi Antonelli’s retirement. The neutralization allowed most frontrunners to pit once more, setting up a six-lap sprint to the finish.
