Piastri hails 'mega' McLaren after dominant China one-two

Oscar Piastri hailed his "mega" McLaren after leading from pole to win the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday ahead of teammate Lando Norris.

The cool-headed Australian bounced back from the disappointment of his spin in the closing laps of the season-opener in Melbourne a week ago in the perfect manner as he took his third career grand prix win.

From the moment he fended off George Russell's Mercedes at the first bend, Piastri was in total control for all 56 laps around the 5.451km Shanghai International Circuit.

Norris darted past from third on the grid at the same turn and the two McLarens then sped away, leaving Russell alone for most of the race to take his second third-place finish of the season.
