Oscar Piastri returned to winning ways in a scorching Spanish Grand Prix to strengthen his lead at the top of the standings and while there were others who had plenty to celebrate too, some were itching to get away and put the weekend behind them. Lawrence Barretto selects his winners and losers from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Winner: Oscar Piastri
Oscar Piastri had bad memories of Barcelona after struggling to extract performance out of his McLaren last year – but he banished those demons superbly this season with a brilliant lap to take pole.
It was the largest pole margin of the season so far (0.209s) and meant he out-qualified team mate Norris for the fifth time in 2025, having done so only four times in the entirety of last season.
The Australian then converted P1 into his fifth Grand Prix victory of the season – and first since Miami. He is now the third McLaren driver to score eight straight podiums, joining illustrious company in Ayrton Senna (1988) and Lewis Hamilton (2007).
Crucially, he extends his championship lead to 10 points over team mate Norris and 49 over Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
