Piastri`s Masterclass: McLaren`s One-Two Triumph in Spain

Piastri`s dominant victory at the Spanish GP highlights McLaren`s resurgence, while Verstappen faces a looming race ban.

Oscar Piastri delivered a breathtaking performance at the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, clinching a commanding victory for McLaren. Starting from pole position, Piastri showcased his racing prowess, leading the pack with unwavering confidence and extending his championship lead. His teammate, Lando Norris, followed closely behind, securing a remarkable one-two finish for the team that sent waves of jubilation through the McLaren garage.

However, the race was not without its drama. Max Verstappen found himself embroiled in controversy after a collision with George Russell resulted in a 10-second penalty. This setback dropped the reigning champion to a disappointing 10th place, leaving him perilously close to an automatic race ban with just one penalty point remaining.

Ferrari`s Charles Leclerc fought valiantly to finish third, while Russell managed to salvage a fourth-place finish after the incident. In a surprising twist, Nico Hulkenberg delivered a stellar performance for Sauber, crossing the line in fifth. Lewis Hamilton, in the other Ferrari, finished sixth, while Fernando Alonso finally scored his first points of the season with a ninth-place finish for Aston Martin.

The race concluded under a late safety car due to Kimi Antonelli`s retirement, intensifying the already chaotic atmosphere at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
