Oscar Piastri: Runner-up Finish in Spielberg
PIastri finished second in the Austrian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Red Bull Ring on Sunday afternoon.
Analysis:
Piastri would get around Charles Leclerc on the opening lap and secure second-place. From there he'd battle hotly with Lando Norris for the early lead in this grand prix. The young McLaren driver would be frustrated in his attempts to get around Norris and eventually his teammate would slip away and build a bit of a lead. Piastri would try to reel-in Norris over the closing laps of the race but then lapped traffic would frustrate his efforts. He'd finish just over 2.5-seconds back in P2. It was ninth podium of the season.
