Australia’s Oscar Piastri has won the Spanish Grand Prix ahead of his teammate Lando Norris as McLaren continued their early dominance of the Formula 1 championship.
The 24-year-old Melburnian banked his fifth win of the campaign on Sunday, flying away from pole position and executing a flawless race to extend his lead in the driver standings.
Briton Norris crossed behind Piastri after he recovered from a bad start, while Charles Leclerc of Ferrari was third.

It was the third McLaren one-two of the season and the team’s seventh win in nine races, with Piastri taking five of those victories.
World champion Max Verstappen crossed fifth but was dropped to 10th place after he was given a 10-second penalty for colliding with Mercedes’ fourth-place finisher George Russell late on.
Piastri’s win, which came despite a late safety car, has extended his title advantage over Norris from three points to 10.
“Very hard to complain. It has been a great year,” Piastri said immediately afterwards.
“We executed everything we needed to. I am really enjoying it.
“It was a great weekend overall. The pace was good and we could turn it on when we needed to.
“Good to bounce back from Monaco. It has been a great year and this weekend has been the one I have been after. The team gave me a great car and winning races is a lot of fun.”
Norris said: “Oscar drove a very good race. I didn’t have the pace to match him but I gave it my best shot.”
Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton finished a poor seventh after he was passed by Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg in the closing stages
