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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
