Runner-up Finish at Silverstone
Piastri finished second in the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Silverstone Circuit on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Piastri would follow Max Verstappen from the lights out to lap 7 when the slippery conditions would open an overtake opportunity for the McLaren star. He would lead from lap 8 onward and through the heavy rain that came at lap 11. Piastri was in complete control until a restart from the virtual safety car on lap 20. The young driver would nearly come to a stop and bring the ire of the stewards. Piastri would be hit with a 10-second penalty for a safety car infraction. He would serve that on the lap 43 pit stop and give up the lead to Lando Norris. Piastri would ride in P2 from there and collect the runner-up finish at the checkered flag.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.
