Piastri took his first win since the Dutch Grand Prix
Oscar Piastri cut McLaren team-mate Lando Norris' championship lead by two points with victory in the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The Australian led an uneventful race from start to finish as Norris trailed home behind Mercedes' George Russell, the top three finishing in the order in which they started.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen moved up from sixth on the grid to finish fourth, losing one point to Norris in the championship.
Norris now leads Piastri by 22 points and Verstappen by 25 heading into Sunday's grand prix.
