Oscar Piastri Says ‘Nice to Be Back’ After Qatar Sprint Pole

Piastri snapped his slump with sprint pole in Qatar, then laughed over team radio: “Nice to be back… thanks everybody.” The McLaren driver shouted “f**k yeah!” after learning from engineer Tom Stallard that he’d taken P1 despite a “lively” Turn 4. Piastri starts ahead of George Russell, with title-leading teammate Lando Norris only third. His title hopes stay alive.
