Oscar Piastri’s ‘mind control’ likened to legendary F1 world champion
Oscar Piastri has been compared to a four-time F1 world champion after his sublim𒊎e𒅌 win in Bahrain.

Martin Brundle has compared 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s calm character to that of four-time F1 world champion Alain Prost.
Piastri produced a controlled, dominant victory in last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix to become F1 2025’s first repeat winner and close in on McLaren teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris in the world championship.
The Australian’s performance was lꦫabelled as “imperious” by Sky Sports F1 co-commentator Brundle, who likened his ability to k🔯eep his emotions in check to legendary world champion Prost.
“Bahrain gave us a great race once again, and positioned McLaren's Oscar Piastri 💙as potentially the favourite for this year's world championship,” Brundle wrote in his colu♒mn for Sky.
“Piastri has largely recovered the points deficit from his unfortunate excursion, and lengthy challenge in getting his car off the wet grass, in his hometown race in Melbourne, and he continues to ♉add🧸 a calm confidence to his considerable speed.
“From the outside, it's as if his pulse is a flat line at all times, and I can think of few drivers who could or can control their emotions and mind like that. Alain Prost, 'the pr꧙ofessor', would be one.”
Missed opportunity for Lando Norris
In the other side of the McLaren garage, Brundle believes it was a missed opportunity f✤or early championship leader Norris.
The Briton fumbled his qualifying lap and ended up a disappointing sixth, before recovering to third to maintain his advantage at the top of the driv♍ers’ standings, though his lead is just three pointไs.
After a bruising and scrappy weekend in Bahrain, 🍌Norris worryingly admitted he is lacking confidence in McLaren’s MCL39.
“Lando Norris had a difficul🏅t qualifying and lined up sixth but would make a sensational start and flying first fourಞ corners to immediately claim third,” Brundle added.
“The problem was that in trying to maximise his grid position as far forwar🔯d as possible, he overdid it, and was just ahead of his grid box, attracting a five-second penalty that he would serve at his fi♈rst pit stop.
“Sometimes I can see drivers from the commentary box window wasting a metre or so of opportunity in their grid box, which is impossible to see 💙from the cockpit, hence the big lateral yellow line to help them see out of the side of the car.
“Lando got boxed in on the safety car restart down into turn one between ꦆthe two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, and lost out. Overtaking Ferraris would feature strongly in his race, but despite all of that, such was the pace of the McLaren he still should have been second.”
