Runner-up Finish in Japan
Piastri finished second in the Japanese Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The McLaren youngster would make some aggressive moves at the lights out and would seize the lead from Kimi Antonelli. Piastri would lead the opening 22 circuits until the safety car would be deployed for a heavy Oliver Bearman crash. During pit stops under the safety car, Piastri would lose the lead to Antonelli. From there, he'd chase the Mercedes driver all the way to the finish. It was Piastri's first podium result of the young season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.
