Piastri reflects on win
Speaking in parc ferme, Piastri said: "It was a pretty 🦹tough race. I’m very, very happy to have won. Made the difference at the start. Made my caseꦉ into Turn 1, and that was enough.
"It was really tricky to follow out there. I couldn’t really stay with Max at the end of the first stint, just chewed up my tyres. And then the clean ai🦋r was nice after the pit stop.
"Great race. We did the parts we needed to right. Still need a bit more I think, Max was a little bit too close for our liking, but a great race and a great weeke🐻nd."
Behind the top three, Norris completes a strong recovery drive to secure fourth.&൩nbsp;
The Mercedes pair of Russell and Antonelli take fifth and sixth ahead of ཧHamilton, who co🧜uldn't close in enough on Antonelli in the end.
It's a great result for Williams with Sainz and Albon finiꦕshing eighth and ninth, while Hadjar claims the final point on offer in 10th for Racing Bulls.
