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.

Wins Dutch Grand Prix
Piastri has taken victory in a hugely dramatic Dutch Grand Prix that saw McLaren team mate Lando Norris retire from the race due to a mechanical failure in the closing stages, marking a potentially seismic moment in the championship battle, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
PIastri got off well at the lights out and held onto the lead after Lando Norris would surrender P2 to Max Verstappen on the opening lap. The grand prix would be marked by raindrops at times and differing strategies so it would be incredibly entertaining, but Piastri would manage to control the lead for the full event. A late safety car and restart would add some spice to the finish but Piastri would be successful in holding Verstappen at bay to collect his seventh victory of the season.
