F1 | McLaren, Piastri satisfied despite missing the podium in his home race

The beautiful Australian day of McLaren ended with fourth place Plates. The local idol was also in contention for the podium in the first part of the race, clearly taking advantage, like everyone else, of the retirement of Verstappen and not on Sundays Sergio Perez and of all the Red Bull in general. However, the pace of Norris, especially in the first stint on the hard tyres, he made the Woking team make the right decision on the wall, namely to exchange the positions of the two drivers on the track, with all due respect to the fans at theAlbert Park, a little annoyed at the end of the race. At the end of the fair, however, Oscar willingly accepted the "switch", admitting he had less than his teammate.

“Fourth position is a good result for us – said Piastri. The pace was good throughout the race, but I struggled a bit with the first set of hard, there was some graining and I had a drop in performance. However, the day was very good in terms of points for the team, and as far as I'm concerned I don't think I could have done more, so I'm quite happy. The podium is close, it will arrive soon: Lando did a great job taking third place, so all in all, I can say it was a successful week in my home Grand Prix."
