McLaren provided the 'rocket ship' and Australian Formula One rookie Oscar Piastri proved his potential by blasting to third on the grid in British Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday.
With British team mate Lando Norris lining up on the front row alongside Red Bull's pole-sitter and runaway championship leader Max Verstappen, there were whoops and high-fives all round.
"It's a very special moment, to be in the top three," added the 2021 Formula Two champion. "It's been a couple of years since I've been to one of these press conferences, so it's nice to be back.""Today's result indeed can be seen also as a confirmation of the exceptional job that Oscar has been doing," said the Italian.
"I've made a few mistakes in Q3 through the year so it's nice to have a solid lap on the board and to have it for P3 as well is even better," he said.
