Perfect Piastri puts McLaren in driving seat

SAKHIR, Bahrain — Oscar Piastri wrapped up a dream weekend in Bahrain to leave McLaren with its two drivers sitting at the top of the standings.

The Australian bossed practice and qualifying, and then produced a controlled drive under the floodlights in Sakhir to follow up his success in China last month.

Teammate Lando Norris was being characteristically hard on himself after a qualifying session that left him starting in sixth.
