McLAREN GOES FULL THROTTLE TO A DOMINANT IN CHINA SECURING 50TH ONE-TWO FINISH

Oscar Piastri blasted off the start line from pole like a rocket fuelled on adrenaline. With Lando Norris muscling his way past Russell to P2, it was game on for McLaren. The medium tyres started to give the boys a tough time with graining, but they kept their cool under pressure. Piastri pitted on Lap 14 for a fresh set of hards, with Lando following a lap later. A sneaky undercut briefly handed Russell the upper hand, but Lando wasn’t about to let it slide—he clawed back his position like a beast on a mission.

With both cars leading the charge in P1 and P2, it was a papaya dream scenario. But just when you thought it was smooth sailing, Lando got hit with a brake pedal issue in the closing laps. Cue the nail-biting finish as Russell turned up the heat, closing in on Lando right up to the last lap. Did it matter? Not one bit! Both McLaren cars stormed across the line, locking down their legendary one-two finish in style.

Oscar Piastri: "The car was MEGA all weekend. From pole to victory, it’s been an incredible run, and the support from the papaya fans was absolutely electric. We pulled off a killer race, and I can’t wait to tackle the triple-header ahead!"

Lando Norris: "One tough race, but one EPIC result! The team nailed the one-stop strategy, and even with the late drama, we bagged some sweet points. Big thanks to everyone who made this happen—we’re coming in hot for Japan!"

Andrea Stella: “Our 50th one-two finish is a testament to teamwork and hard graft. Piastri was on fire all weekend, and Norris showed incredible resolve despite the challenges. There’s plenty to learn, but we walk away proud and hungry for more. Next stop: Japan!”

WHAT'S NEXT? JAPAN, BABY!
McLaren’s momentum is electric heading into the next round of the season. With a monster triple-header coming up, the Papaya squad is firing on all cylinders. Can they keep this beast of a season rolling?
One thing’s for sure—this is McLaren turned up to 11!
