Oscar Piastri was capable of fend off Charles Leclerc to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday.
Piastri shook off labels as McLaren’s “second driver” and forged apart whispers that he must be serving to Lando Norris in his quest for his first driver’s championship. Piastri has secured 5 podiums — together with two wins — within the final seven races. He stays in competition for the motive force’s championship.
With the win, McLaren formally strikes forward of Purple Bull within the constructor’s championship standings.
In what might be thought-about a disastrous weekend for Purple Bull, Sergio Perez, who had been in competition for a podium spot, was concerned in a crash with Carlos Sainz on lap 50.
