Ozias New Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 41 Gender:	Oscar Piastri wins the Bahrain GP Apr 14^th, 2025 at 9:02am Oscar Piastri becomes the first driver this season to win multiple races and he is now just 3 points behind Lando Norris is WDC. I think he will end up with more points than Lando this season and my favorite to win the WDC this year.

Nice work

Oscar Piastri has become the first multiple race winner of the 2025 season by taking a sublime victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix, the Australian driver putting in a cool and collected drive to seal P1 on his 50th start in F1 as well as marking McLaren’s first triumph in Sakhir.

After making a strong start from pole position – despite a close call from George Russell when the Mercedes driver locked up into Turn 1 – Piastri built a solid lead throughout the laps that followed.

While there was early trouble for team mate Lando Norris – who was hit with a five-second time penalty for being out of position in his grid box – the McLarens again looked impressive as the race played out, with the Briton working his way forwards.

And while Piastri’s position potentially looked under threat when a Safety Car emerged, the 24-year-old made a clean getaway at the restart and went on to rebuild a gap in the laps that followed, eventually crossing the line with a 15-second lead.

Getting him out of Alpine and into McLaren was a wise choice from Webber. Where would Oscar be if he was driving for Alpine?

There is a lot you don't know Phil

Oscar won in all the lower categories before F1 Webber has done a good job will also help him with all the politics that happen outside of the car.

It's a long season he is in the best car only has to beat Lando it's probably the best chance for an Aussie since Alan Jones.

Oz-Car 2nd on the grid Max on pole with Lando back in 10th after putting it into the wall.

Harder to overtake here whoever wins the drag race from start to first corner might win.

There is only one fast line overtaking means trying to pass on a slower line which makes it much harder almost impossible if car in front with equal speed doesn't make a mistake

Lando might not be able to pass enough cars to get on podium unless those in front have hard luck stories.
