Oscar Piastri found his way back into the win column to close out the European tripleheader at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, holding off his teammate Lando Norris to increase his small advantage in the championship standings. The 24-year-old Aussie converted from pole position after a daring lap in qualifying on Saturday to secure his first victory since Miami.
With Norris able to hold off the field for second after a late safety car tightened up the pack, drama played out in the final few laps of the race. Reigning world champion Max Verstappen got away poorly on the restart and made contact with Charles Leclerc and George Russell on the ensuing lap, eventually earning himself a 10-second penalty for an incident with the latter. The head-scratching collision knocked the Red Bull down to 10th, while Leclerc earned the final spot on the podium.
