Bahrain Grand Prix 2025 Formula One: Oscar Piastri Wins Second Race Of Season

In a race with plenty of drama, Oscar Piastri made sure to stay ahead of trouble. Piastri took his second win of the Formula 1 season in dominant style at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday (April 13), slashing the points gap to his teammate Lando Norris, who could only manage third after an eventful race. Piastri started on pole and kept Mercedes’ George Russell behind him, fending off a challenge for the lead after a safety-car restart. Russell held on to second after defending his position on the last lap from Norris, who had started sixth.
