Congratulations are due to young Australian driver Oscar Piastri. The
Melbourne born 24-year-old has shot to the top of the Formula One world
championship points score after winning his third grand prix of the season
in Saudi Arabia last weekend. Starting from second on the grid and beating
pole sitter Max Verstappen to the first corner. Quite simply, Oscar is a class
act and a wonderful ambassador for Australia in the pinnacle of world
motor sport - the first Australian to lead the points in 15 years. As he says,
“leading the championship is a result of all the hard work we’ve done in the
off-season, the hard work I’ve done personally and the hard work the team
has done. I’m more proud of all those things than I am of the fact that I’m
leading the championship, because ultimately, I want to be leading it after
round 24, not round five.” I’m David Berthon
