The huge frustration was that Oscar Piastri had enjoyed his best showing thus far of a troubled 2026 season, and the Australian looked set to log a podium finish, having run second for much of the race. However, a mistake in the closing laps saw him head down the Turn 1 escape road, and given that the field had been bunched up by the Safety Car, he tumbled out of the top 10 before he could resume....
