Oscar Piastri Leaks The Key To Victory At F1 Belgian GP 2025
JAKARTA - McLaren racer, Oscar Piastri, managed to secure the title when appearing at F1 of the Belgian GP 2025, Sunday, July 27, 2025. This achievement became a slick record after Piastri reaped disappointing results in the Sprint and Qualification sessions.
In the race that took place at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit, Oscar Piastri started the race from second place. This situation must be lived after he lost to his teammate, Lando Norris, in the race for pole position the day before.
Despite starting the race from second place, Piastri's extraordinary momentum came on the first lap. At that time, he performed a charming maneuver through the iconic bend of Eau fire, lifting a little gas pedal.
This moment is even considered by the rider as a very lively moment and the key to his victory.

"I know that the first lap is my best chance to win. I got out well of Turn 1 and only lifted the pedal a little bit on Eau fire," Piastri said after getting out of the car quoted from the official F1 website, Monday, July 28, 2025.
By relying on speed and courage, Piastri overtook Norris cleanly and took control of the leading position from the start.
The team's strategy was to side with him when he chose the medium tire when it was transitioned from the intermediate tire, while Norris chose the hard tire.
This decision has proven to be appropriate to maintain stability in the midst of a race that is still filled with potential Safety Cars.
Although he had experienced a bit of difficulty in the last five laps due to tire degradation, Piastri was able to control the course of the race until the finishing flag was flown.
This victory became coverage after the disappointment of the previous day.
"I am quite disappointed with myself after Sprint. However, it turns out, starting from second place in Spa is not too bad," he said.
This victory is the eighth victory in his career and confirms Piastri's status as one of the most promising young riders in Formula 1 today.
He also admitted that he couldn't wait to return to Hungaroring, the location where he won his debut the previous season.
"It's nice to be back there. I have fond memories and hopefully I can continue this momentum," he said.
