2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button has praised 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s ability to “control a race” from the front after winning the Mi🐽ami Grand Prix.

Piastri made it a hat-trick of wins to extend his lead in the F1 drivers’ championship to 16 points over McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

The crucial point in the race was the start, where Norris was forced off the track by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

This incident promoted Piastri to second and gave him the fiꦚrst opportunity to get past Verstappen.

By the time Pi൩astri and Norris overtook Verstappen, the Australian had a nine-second lead at the front of the field.

Norris reduced this to four seconds by the ♔end of the race, suggesting he had a small pace𝓰 advantage.

During the post-race interviews in parc ferme, Button noted the “big difference” he’s noticed in P♍iastri 💙this year.

Button said to Piastri: “For me, the💦 big difference that I see from you from last year to now is the race 🧸pace.

“How you control a race, it seems that when we put Oscar in the lead of a Grand Prix, there’s no looking back, you conꦚtrol the pace from the time you get into the lead until the chequered flag.”

Piastri replied: “Yeah, I mean, I think the first stint was really, really strong and then on the hards I was honestly stru༺ggling a little bit. So🅺, it was a good thing that I built that gap in the first stint.

“I think towards the end I started to get things a bit more under control, but there’s still deꦕfinitely some things to work on from this afternoon.

“So, very happy with the w♌in, very happy with the points, but constantly got to keep learning, so, very happy to be leaving Miam🐭i on top.”

Button lauds “very clever” Piastri

Button recognised Piastri’s prowess in wheel-to-wheel comb💖at.

The Sky F1 pundit was impressed with𝓰 how Piastri forced Verstappen onto the dirty lin🧸e, ultimately resulting in a mistake that gave him the race lead.

On the other hand, Norris found it harder to get by Verstappen𝓰, lo🥃sing even more time. 

“It’s really interesting because Oscar really squeezes him. Max puts it on th🐭e inside, normally you would drive down the outside and the guy on the inside will pull to the left as much as he could,” Button added.

“But Max is getting squeezed into the apex𓄧, which is putting him into a dirtier part of the track. That was very ♏clever from Oscar.”
