Ayrton Senna’s Record Has Been Surpassed
Oscar Piastri Equals Legendary Ayrton Senna’s Podium Record
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri has matched a remarkable record set by Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna.
As RaceBrief.com reports, the Australian driver secured victory at the Spanish Grand Prix after starting from pole position, further strengthening his position in the championship standings. This marks Piastri’s fifth win of the season, with previous victories in China, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, and now Spain.
With his latest result, Piastri has now achieved eight consecutive podium finishes — equaling a record set by Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian icon accomplished the same feat between the 1988 Mexican and Belgian Grands Prix, collecting six wins and two second-place finishes during that stretch.
If Piastri finishes on the podium again in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix — potentially ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton — he could surpass Senna’s long-standing record.
