2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button has praised 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s ability to꧂ “control a race” from the front after💎 winning the Miami Grand Prix.

Piastri made it a hat-trick of wins to extend his lead in the F1 drivers’ championship to 16 points over McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

The crucial point in the race was the start, where Norris was forced off the track by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

This incident promoted Piastri to second an🃏d gave him t෴he first opportunity to get past Verstappen.

By the time Piastri and Nor🐼ris overtook Verstappen, the Australian had a nine-second lead at the front of the field.

Norris reduced this to four 🌌s🥀econds by the end of the race, suggesting he had a small pace advantage.

During the post-race interviews in parc ferme, 𓂃Button noted the “big difference” he’s notic💟ed in Piastri this year.

Button said to Piastri: “For me, the big difference that I see from you from last yܫear to now is the race pace.

“Howಞ you control a race, it seems that when we put Oscar in the lead of a Grand Prix, there’s no looking back, you control the pace from the time you get into the lead unti𒁃l the chequered flag.”

Piastri replied: “Yeah, I mean, I think the first stint was really, really strong and then on the hards I was h💫onestly struggling a little bit. So, it was a good thing that I built that gap in the first stint.

“I think towards the end I started to get things♛ a bit more under control, but there’s still definitely some things to work on🎉 from this afternoon.

“So, very happy with the win, very happy with the points, but cons🦩tantly got to keep learning, so, very happy to be leaving Miami on top.”

Button lauds “very clever” Piastri

Button recognised Piastri’s prowess in wheel-to-whe𓂃el combat.

The Sky F1 pundit was impressed with how Piastri forced Verstappen onto the dirty line, ultimately resulting in a mistake that gave him th🍒e race lead.

On the other hand, Norris found it harder to g✤et by Verstappen, losing even more tiꦐme. 

“It’s really interesting because Oscar really squeezes him. Max puts it on the inside, nor🐻mally you would drive down the outside and the guy on the inside will pull to the left as much as he could,” But൲ton added.

“But Max is getting squeezed into the apex, which is putting him into a dirtier part of the tr𒉰ack. That was ver🌼y clever from Oscar.”
