Oscar Piastri’s ‘mind control’ likened to legendary F1 world champion
Os💟car Piastri has been compared to a four-time F1 world champion after his sublime win in B⛦ahrain.

Martin Brundle has compared 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s calm character to that of four-time F1 world champion Alain Prost.
Piastri produced a controlled, dominant victory in last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix to become F1 2025’s first repeat winner and close in on McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris in the world championship.
The Australian’ﷺs performance was labelled as “imperious” by Sky Sports F1 co-com✨mentator Brundle, who likened his ability to keep his emotions in check to legendary world champion Prost.
“Bahrain gave us a great race once again, and positioned McLaren's Oscar Piastri as potentially the favourite for this year's world 🌌championship,” Brundle wrote in his column for Sky.
“Piastri has largely recovered the points deficit from his unfortunate excursion, and lengthy challenge in getting his car off the wet grass, in his hometown race in Melbourne, and he continues to aಞdd a calm confidence to his considerable speed.
“From the outside, it's as if his pulse is a flat line at all times, and I can think of few driver🉐s who could or can control their emotions and mind like that. Alain Prost, 'the prof✨essor', would be one.”
Missed opportunity for Lando Norris
In the other side of the McLaren gaꦕrage, Brundle believes it was a missed opportunity for early championship leader Norris.
The🦩 Briton fumbled his qualifying lap and en﷽ded up a disappointing sixth, before recovering to third to maintain his advantage at the top of the drivers’ standings, though his lead is just three points.
After a bruising and scrappy weekend in Bahrain, Norris worryingly admitted he is l൲acking confidence in McLaren’s MCL39.
“Lando Norris had a difficult qualifying 🌠and lined up sixth but would make a sensational start and flying first four corners to immediately claim third,” Brundle added.
“The problem was that in trying to maximise his grid position as far forward as possible, h🅰e overdid it, and was just ahead of his grid box, attracting a five-second p💙enalty that he would serve at his first pit stop.
“Sometimes I ♒can see drivers from the🌜 commentary box window wasting a metre or so of opportunity in their grid box, which is impossible to see from the cockpit, hence the big lateral yellow line to help them see out of the side of the car.
“Lando got boxed in on the safety car restart down into turn one between the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hami♏lton, and lost out. Overtaking Ferraris would feature strongly in his race, but despite all of that, such was the pace of the McLaren he still should have been second.”
