Runner-up Finish in Abu Dhabi
Piastri finished second in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday evening.
ANALYSIS
PIastri would start the grand prix on hard tyres in contrast to the many who would start on medium compound rubber. He would get off well at the lights out and actually overtake his teammate, Lando Norris, on the opening lap. Piastri would hold down P2 during his long opening stint and inherit the lead at Max Verstappen's first pit stop. The McLaren youngster would lead a number of laps before his own pit stop. Piastri would cut into Verstappen's lead down the stretch but would still finish P2 at nearly 12.5-seconds back. It was his 16th podium of the season and he finishes third in the final driver standings.

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.
