Australian forced into a mistake of favored Verstappen

Australian racer Oscar Piatras was the fastest at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, the fifth this year’s Formula One World Championship test. Maxa Verstappen (Red Bull), who, however, repelled the attack of McLarn’s racer by crossing the turn, which made him receive a five -second penalty.

After Piatras took the lead, he no longer released him from his hands. With the third and joint fifth victory in the royal motorcycle class, it also swung to the top of the overall ranking. He had 2.843 seconds in the finish line ahead of second -ranked Verstappen. “It was one of my hardest races. Now I just want to go on the couch, « admitted the 24-year-old Australian. A monastery star in the third place Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), which was 8.104 seconds behind Piatri.

Oscar’s teammate Lando Norris (+ 9,196) had to deal with a thankless fourth place, and he wasted a better ranking with an accident in the last part of yesterday’s qualifiers in which he collided into a protective fence.

The next race will be scheduled for 4 May in Miami.
