Australian driver enjoyed debut win after his teammate Lando Norris reluctantly ceded the lead
, who finished second only after he very reluctantly agreed to follow team orders and let the Australian past with three laps remaining to secure his debut Formula One grand prix victory.
Norris, with one eye on the championship where he now trails Verstappen by 76 points, was clearly in no mood to give up a win when Piastri could not catch him. Piastri won the sprint in Qatar last year and went on to take second in the race; he took second at Monaco this season as well, but the victory here confirms he has the potential to go on to even greater things.
“Yeah, well tell him to catch up then please,” was Norris’s terse response as he made his case to hold the place since Piastri was dropping further back
