Mark Webber, the former Red Bull F1 driver and Piastri’s manager, appeared on Sky Sports after the race to discuss his fellow Australian’s achievement. He used the word “confusing” to describe Piastri’s maiden win in Hungary, where a team orders call from McLaren put him back into the lead late on. This was anything but.

As Oscar was finally heading for the pits, Pérez had his new hard tyres fully up to temperature and was coming up fast. But he came up behind Lando, who gave Oscar a little bit of assistance.

Oscar Piastri says he’s happy with the apparent flexible rear wing on his race-winning car but it’s not a “magic bullet” making McLaren the team to beat in Formula 1 ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.
