Oscar Piastri wins Spanish GP as Max Verstappen loses his head

Australian Oscar Piastri has continued his F1 dominance with victory in Spain, before he was thrown under the bus by his teammate.

Australian Formula 1 superstar Oscar Piastri has saluted for the fifth time this season after winning the Spanish Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver edged out his teammate Lando Norris to secure a one-two finish for the team and move further ahead on the constructors standings.

While it was rather clear out in front for the McLaren duo, carnage was unfolding behind with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen losing his mind.

After closing to third place, Verstappen was left seething at his own team after having a set of hard tyres put on after the safety car.

He was instantly caught out by Charles Leclerc before later being advised to hand a position back to George Russell.

That directive didn’t sit well with the four-time world champion who slowed down, allowing Russell to pass before he jumped back on the accelerator and rammed into the Mercedes driver.

Russell was blunt in his assessment of the incident, getting on the radio and shouting: “What the f***!”.

The incident saw Verstappen slapped with a 10-second time penalty that dropped him from fifth down to tenth.

Sky Sports’ Nico Rosberg labelled the moment from Verstappen “completely unacceptable” and believed the Red Bull driver should have been shown a black flag which would have been a disqualification.

In scenes that F1 fans labelled “priceless” after the race, Piastri’s McLaren teammate Lando Norris threw him right under the bus by telling reporters Oscar had some “interesting opinions” on the Verstappen incident before handing the microphone over to the Aussie.

“Oscar told me he has some interesting opinions on it (the Max incident) so I’ll pass straight over to him,” Norris said.

Oscar could only say in reply: “Being teammates with you is so fun.”
