The irony is that the last time this happened was 800 Formula 1 races ago. It all came with pole position and fastest lap!
In addition, with this, Oscar Piastri also entered the championship challengers, as he is only three points behind his teammate, Lando Norris, who leads the standings. So far, Piastri has managed to win four races in his career, the last of which was at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where he set an Australian national record.
Alan Jones achieved a similar feat in the 1980 Argentine Grand Prix for Williams, which was the 329th race in the competition's history, while last weekend's race in Bahrain was the 1,129th, meaning it took exactly 800 races for an Australian to repeat the feat. What bodes well for Piastrini is that when Jones did it, he won the world title that year...
