Episode Synopsis

Oscar Piastri, the twenty-four-year-old racing sensation, made a remarkable run for the two thousand twenty-five Drivers Championship. Despite not being a pre-season favorite, Piastri led the championship for seventeen out of twenty-four races, from his victory in Bahrain all the way to the Mexican Grand Prix in October. Heading into the final race in Abu Dhabi, Piastri was sixteen points behind his teammate Lando Norris and just four points shy of Max Verstappen. Ultimately, Max Verstappen secured his third consecutive win at Abu Dhabi, claiming the championship. Piastri finished second in that race, placing him third overall in the final standings with four hundred ten points. Despite not taking home the championship trophy, Piastris maturity and calm demeanor throughout the intense season earned him widespread respect. With his contract extended with McLaren until two thousand twenty-eight, Piastri has many more years to compete for a championship title.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
