Oscar Piastri’s stunning victory at Spa-Francorchamps has sent shockwaves through the F1 world, as he pulled off a daring move on Lando Norris at Eau Rouge on the first lap. The Australian driver showcased his intelligence by managing his medium tires shrewdly and fending off relentless pressure from Norris until the checkered flag.

In an exclusive Q&A session, Piastri revealed the intense moments he faced during the race, highlighting the calculated risks he took to secure the win. “I knew the first lap was probably my best opportunity to win. I had a good exit out of Turn 1 and barely lifted off the throttle at Eau Rouge, which was enough,” Piastri explained.

The young driver’s strategic overtaking at Eau Rouge proved pivotal, showing his meticulous planning and execution. “It was crucial for the victory,” Piastri emphasized, reflecting on the decisive moment of the race.

Facing the treacherous challenge of a wet Eau Rouge, Piastri admitted to pushing the limits to stay ahead of Norris. “I knew I had to lift off less than Lando and keep the car on track. It was intense over the hill, but I managed to make the move,” Piastri shared, exuding pride in his first-lap performance.

Piastri’s tire choice also played a significant role in his triumph, as he opted for medium tires while Norris went for the hard compound. Despite initial doubts, Piastri’s confidence in his strategy paid off, allowing him to control the race until the end.

Reflecting on the race, Piastri acknowledged the challenges of managing the medium tires throughout the grueling event. “It was tough. The conditions were tricky at the start, and the intermediates wear out quickly here,” Piastri remarked, highlighting the complexities of tire management in a long race.

The decision to dedicate his victory to his grandfather added an emotional layer to Piastri’s triumph, underscoring the significance of family support in his racing journey. Looking ahead to the upcoming race in Hungary, where he clinched his first F1 win in 2024, Piastri expressed his excitement and determination to maintain his winning momentum.

As Piastri gears up for the next race, fans are on the edge of their seats, eager to see if the young driver can replicate his Spa success on the iconic Hungarian circuit. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates from the world of Formula 1 as Piastri continues to make waves in the sport.
