168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has been left impressed by F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s calm approach on hဣis way to leading the wor🍨ld championship.

Piastri turned in another outstanding drive to beat Red Bull’s Verstappen to victory at the Saudi🧔 Arabian Grand Prix to make it three wins from the opening five races of 2025.

The 24-year-old now finds himself in the lead of the world championship for the first time in just his third F1 season and is 10 points clear of McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris.

It also marಞks the first time an Australian has headed the drivers’ standings since Mark Webber in 2010.

Former Red Bull driver Webber now acts as 🤡Piastr🐼i’s manager and Verstappen believes he has had a hugely positive impact.

“Last year was his [Piastri’s] second year. Now he’s in his third yeཧar, and he’s very solid. He’s very calm in his approach, and I like that. It shows on track,” sa𝕴id the Dutchman, who sits 12 points behind Piastri.

“He del♎ivers when he has to, barely m൩akes mistakes – and that’s what you need when you want to fight for a championship.

“I think with Mark by his side, he’s helping him a lot. It’s great. People learn 𝓡from their own careers – that’s what I had wi🍨th my dad, and Mark is advising Oscar.

“At the e⛄nd of the day, Oscar is using his talent, and ꦿthat’s great to see.”

Where has Oscar Piastri made the biggest gain?

P🍃iastri, who h♌as shrugged off the importance of his new-found position as championship leader, has credited the gains he has made in qualifying for his strong start to the season.

The McLaren driver has claimed two pole positions 🀅so far this year and qualified no lower than third on the grid.

“I think the hard work we’ve been putting in definitely has been making a differenc▨e,” he said. “I think I’ve felt comfortable in qualifying and it felt like I’ve 𓃲taken a bit of a step up.

“I think 🦄last year it wasn’t much that I often missed out by. But this year, I’ve had a couple qualifyings just on the wrong side of that gap still, but also more qualifyings on the right side of that gap now.

“So it’s been a lot of hard worꦗk in a lot of different areas, 𝓀trying to get those last few hundreds of a second, and I think it has been paying off.”
