Oscar Piastri: Wins Chinese Grand Prix

Piastri bounced back from the disappointment of his late-race mistake at last week's 2025 season opener in Australia by converting pole position into an assured victory during the Chinese Grand Prix - leading home team mate Lando Norris for a McLaren 1-2, Formula 1.com reports.

Analysis:

Piastri would run a controlled and well-managed grand prix from start to finish. He would lead wire-to-wire and build a good gap back to his teammate Norris. The gap would sit at about 3-seconds in the closing laps but a brake problem for Norris would cause him to fade to 9+ seconds adrift of Piastri at the checkered flag. The win for the young driver is a nice rebound performance after his disappointment in Australia in round 1.
