Piastri hails 'mega' McLaren after China one-two

Cool-headed performance sees Aussie claim third career GP win

SHANGHAI — Oscar Piastri hailed his "mega" McLaren after leading from pole to win the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday ahead of teammate Lando Norris.

The cool-headed Australian bounced back in the perfect manner from the disappointment of his spin in the closing laps of the season-opener in Melbourne a week ago, as he took his third career grand prix win.

From the moment he fended off George Russell's Mercedes at the first bend, Piastri was in total control for all 56 laps around the 5.45-kilometer Shanghai International Circuit.
