Bahrain showed just how costly anything less than perfect from Lando Norris can be when it comes to shipping points

Piastri took his second win of the Formula 1 season in dominant style at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, slashing the points gap to his teammate Lando Norris, who could only manage third after an eventful race. Piastri started on pole and kept Mercedes’ George Russell behind him, fending off a challenge for the lead after a safety-car restart.

With two wins in four rounds, Oscar Piastri is now in a position to take the championship lead at the end of this week - and if he keeps performing like he did in Bahrain, he'll be hard to stop from winning the title at the end of the year.
