\u201cI went for a pretty big lunge and managed to pull it off and hang on for dear life for the next 35 laps. The last couple of laps when Leclerc dropped out of DRS were a little bit more relaxing but there\u2019s no such thing as a relaxing lap around here so it was hard work. I think that definitely goes down as one of the better races of my career,\u201d said Piastri in the post-race interview.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Oscar Piastri\u2019s win was McLaren\u2019s first win at the Baku City Circuit and took them past Red Bull in the race for the Constructors Championship. The British car manufacturer now sits 20 points ahead of Red Bull, with 476 points, and hopes to end their reign which has seen them win the trophy for the past two seasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cConsidering where we started when I joined the team last year, we were literally last, and now we are leading the world championship. It\u2019s full credit to the team and for the turnaround we\u2019ve managed to have, first in terms of improving the car but also helping me improve as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Piastri overtook Leclerc in the 20th lap and did not give the Monegasque driver any room to fight back into the race. Leclerc went on to admit the team\u2019s mistakes and said he would learn from it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
