Piatri celebrates the first victory: an incredible China weekend!

Shanghai, China - Oscar Piatri celebrated its first win of the season at the Grand Prix of China on March 23, 2025 after winning the race with an impressive performance. The strategist confidently led the race, but had to give the top position to Alex Albon for a short time during a pit stop, who finally finished ninth. After the race, Piatri thanked his team and described the entire weekend as "unbelievable", which expressed his increasing optimism and his confidence to be a serious contender on the World Cup title. This positive development comes after a rather modest start to the season in Australia, where he did not get under the top ten due to two driving errors, but was still able to collect two valuable points as ninth.

his teammate Lando Norris was able to achieve a solid second place, but expressed concerns about a braking problem that worried him during the race. Despite these difficulties, Norris remains the leader in the overall ranking and stated that he had been under immense pressure against George Russell, who took third place. Team boss Andrea Stella, who analyzed the performance of his team, made it clear that one could not speak of "dominance" because the distance to the competition was anything but big.

The Formula 1 World Cup 2023

The 2023 season is the 74th edition of the Formula 1 World Championship and originally included 24 planned races. Due to various events, including the Covid 19 pandemic, the Grand Prix of China was canceled four times in a row. In addition, some other races had to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, which reduced the total number to 22. Nevertheless, the championship was exciting, in particular through the dominance of Max Verstappen, who won the World Championship early and was supported by his team Red Bull Racing, which also secured the World Cup.

The changes this season also included extended DRS zones on five routes and adjustments to the tire mixtures, which now include six different slicks. Security changes to the chassis were made to counter problems such as Porpoising. Further remarkable developments are returnees such as Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin or the super license of Logan Sargeant, which rises to the cockpit for Williams.
