Piastri secures second win at Bahrain Grand Prix

Oscar Piastri secured his second win of the 2025 Formula 1 season at the Bahrain Grand Prix, dominating the race from pole position. Piastri successfully defended against challenges from George Russell, who finished second, and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who took third after starting sixth. The race saw notable struggles for Max Verstappen, who ended up in sixth place due to overheating issues and a problematic pit stop. Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton showed improvement with solid performances, but Carlos Sainz faced difficulties, including a collision that forced him to retire. Norris received a five-second penalty for a false start, complicating his efforts to chase down Russell. Overall, the race highlighted McLaren's strong pace and strategic execution, positioning Piastri as a key contender in the title race.
