In a jaw-dropping move that left fans speechless, Oscar Piastri overtakes Lewis Hamilton in a daring maneuver that defied team orders. The Australian driver, on his way to a glorious victory in Saudi Arabia, showcased his skills by passing the legendary Hamilton on the 21st lap of the race.
The pass, executed between turns 21 and 23, was not only spectacular and incredibly brave but also strategically crucial. By overtaking Hamilton, Piastri avoided getting stuck behind the Ferrari driver, preventing Max Verstappen from building a gap large enough to maintain the lead after the pit stop and a 5-second penalty.
What makes this move even more remarkable is the fact that Piastri went against his team’s instructions. Despite being advised to wait until the main straight and turn 1 to make the pass, Piastri seized the opportunity, accelerating the pace and securing a vital advantage over Verstappen.
This act of defiance paid off handsomely, leading Piastri to a well-deserved triumph on the track. The young driver’s decision to disobey orders ultimately proved to be a masterstroke, showcasing his racing instincts and determination to succeed at all costs.
