JAKARTA - Australian racer Oscar Piastri appeared dominant with a convincing victory in the second round of the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix Formula 1 (F1) at the Shanghai International Circuit, China, Sunday.
The McLaren racer managed to convert his first position into victory in the main competition. This victory also brought his team to dominate the podium after Lando Norris was in second place.
This result is in retaliation for Piastri after disappointment during a home race in Melbourne, Australia, last week. At that time, he finished ninth.
Meanwhile, George Russell completed the podium in third place. Then Max Verstappen came back from a bad start to finish fourth after beating the Ferrari duo.
Charles Leclerc took fifth place despite damage to the front wing due to an incident with teammate Lewis Hamilton, on the first lap.
Hamilton, who had competed in the top four, became the only front driver to try out a two-time pit stop strategy. Unfortunately, this tactic was fruitless, and he had to settle for finishing sixth.
