After a frantic first triple header of F1 2025, it's time for a little break before we head to the Miami Gr🧸and Prix on May 4.
Speaking in parc ferme, Piastri said: "It was 𒐪a pretty tough race. I’m very, very happy to have won. Made the difference at the start. Made my case into Turn 1, and that was enough.
"It was really tricky to follow out there. I couldn’t really stay with Max at the end of the first stint, just chewed up my tyres. And then the clean 🐓air was nice after the pit stop.
"Gr💦eat race. We did the parts we needed to right. Still need a bit more I think, Max was a little bit too close for our liking, but a great race and a great weekend."
