Piastri equals manager Webber’s F1 win total with Dutch Grand Slam

The Dutch Grand Prix was non-stop incidents from start to finish, and the man celebrating most at the end of it all was McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. The Australian’s win generated more than its fair share of fascinating F1 trivia, but there were plenty more notable numbers to digest throughout the Zandvoort finishing order…

• This was Piastri’s ninth career victory, which ties his manager Mark Webber’s career total.

• Piastri took pole, victory, fastest lap and led every lap, making it the the first ‘Grand Slam’ win for a McLaren driver since Mika Hakkinen at the 1998 Monaco Grand Prix.

• Hadjar tied the best result for a rookie this season (Antonelli was P3 in Canada).

• George Russell’s P4 was Mercedes’ best finish at Zandvoort since 2022.
