Oscar Piastri became the first Australian on a Formula One podium since 2021 and the first rookie since 2017 with a superb third place in the Japanese Grand Prix as Max Verstappen's victory secured Red Bull another constructors' title.
After qualifying second behind Verstappen, the 22-year-old Piastri drove a scintillating race on Sunday to become the first rookie since Lance Stroll in 2017 to finish top three.
Verstappen finished 19.4 seconds ahead of Lando Norris, with his McLaren teammate Piastri a further 17 seconds away in becoming the first Australian on a podium since Daniel Ricciardo won at Monza two years ago.
