Race winner in his first year and before his own teammate who has been in F1 for years. Piastri will definitely become a world champion if he has a competent car.

A sprint win is not the same as a race win though.

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but it's the same opponents you have to beat in both cases.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

In a lot less time though, if this race would have had 40 more laps like the real race then Max would’ve likely won again considering he was second from sixth on lap 19

[–] neumast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

True! However still more wins (either sprint or race) than Norris.

[–] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

I'd say it's a race win even if it's not a grand prix win

[–] R05@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.

[–] davetapley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh Alpine, what must that feel like.

[–] I_Comment_On_EVERYTHING@lemmings.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a ridiculously fun race. Some good battles on track in all parts of the field. Great job by Piastri, hopefully tomorrow's race will be just as good.

[–] hagelslager@feddit.nl 12 points 1 year ago

Indeed! Even though Max dominated the season, this is probably one of the better seasons in years. We've had great races (including this one), the field (except for Max) is tight and a lot of on track action. For once: #blessed

Amazing rebound for McLaren, really thought their season was a write off but it looks like they have something to cook with. Aston definitely need Stroll to step up now.

Oscar is a future World Champion.

[–] ooo_shiny 11 points 1 year ago

Great to see. This lad is going places.

[–] thatWeirdGuy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Let's go, McLaren! Great to see them fighting for podium positions after a tough start of the season. Looking forward to a great battle in the GP.

[–] D2Rave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Not an ideal first win with it being a sprint and Max's clinch of the season, all the same, great to see for piastri and team McLaren.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bet he still regrets signing for McLaren
