00:00...better on less fuel. Was he struggling in the early stages because he was kind of anonymous
00:07after losing a couple of places at the start but kept right in there to take that fourth place.
00:13It's a podium for George Russell and for the 300th time in the Formula One World Championship.
00:18A Mercedes driver steps out onto the podium. It's second place for Lando Norris who as a result
00:27leads the World Championship once more by eight points from Max Verstappen. And it is Oscar
00:34Piastri who scored points for a 28th consecutive weekend. It's the longest active streak in Formula
00:40One and this time he scored 25 points. We'll get correspondence from our viewers in Australia
00:47saying here we get up at all times of the day and night to watch Formula One. I would imagine
00:52it's a beautiful time of day whether you're East Coast or West Coast Australia to watch your man
00:58Oscar Piastri receive the trophy for the winning driver. And for those McLaren fans who've got up
01:04early back in the UK it's probably not a bad wake-up call on a Sunday to see your team on time.
01:09Yeah, tremendous. He's just 23 years of age. There's a lot of winning ahead for Oscar Piastri.
01:14What a day it's been and Charlie Hooper, the Director of Car Operations and Engineering,
01:21will pick up the Constructor's Trophy after Oscar is presented with his medal. The first Formula One
01:28race ever to feature four drivers under the age of 21. Two of the teenagers scored points today.
01:37Olly Behrman celebrated International Bear Day by not being grizzly and coming home in
01:4210th place. Alex Albon led a race on his birthday, the ninth driver, to do that in Formula One.
01:50He couldn't quite join the Winners Club on his birthday but in two weeks time in Japan,
01:54Oscar Piastri races on his birthday and is a very warm favourite, I think, to join James Hunt and
02:01John Olasing with the perfect birthday celebrations. He's got every chance but he's gonna have to beat
02:05Norris and Mercedes and Ferrari and at least one Red Bull. Well, he did it today so maybe he can
02:15do it again. Congratulations to our top three. A Chinese Grand Prix that strategy changed round.
02:22It didn't really burst into life. Piastri won't care. He's brought himself very much back into
02:28this championship battle in 2025 and for the first time this year takes the champagne as
02:34a winning driver. Piastri from Poland to win in Shanghai.
