Piastri equals Aussie history in Spanish Grand Prix
SEN • June 2nd, 2025 9:03 am
Oscar Piastri is fast becoming the favourite to win the Formula One world title after claiming his fifth win from nine races this season at the Spanish Grand Prix.
As chaos unfolded behind him, Piastri held off McLaren teammate Lando Norris to claim the chequered flag and also another slice of history by equalling the most wins in one F1 season by an Aussie.
Victory in Spain saw Piastri level Jack Brabham’s 1960 world title season with his handful of wins, which was later equalled by Alan Jones in 1980.
“It has been a great year and this weekend has been exactly the kind of weekend I was looking for, we executed everything we needed to when it counted and that’s all we could ask for,” Piastri said.
“The team gave me a great car once again, it’s a lot of fun winning races at the moment and I’ve been enjoying it and I hope the team are too.
“It was a great weekend overall.
“The overall pace was really good and we could turn it on when we needed to. I’m just very proud of the work we’ve done this weekend.
“It wasn’t the best first practice and then we got our stuff together, it’s a nice way to bounce back from Monaco, it’s been a superb weekend.”
Piastri sits atop of the world standings with 186, Norris is 10 behind him while reigning world champion Max Verstappen is 49 behind after finishing 10th.
Charles Leclerc completed the podium after claiming third place.
