Oscar Piastri (24 years old), the McLaren pilot, has a series of three consecutive victories and this weekend will try to achieve his fourth success in Formula 1, within the Grand Prize of Emilia-Romagna.
If the Australian triumphs at Imola, he will only become the second pilot who succeeds four consecutive victories with the McLaren team in Formula 1. So far, this has been done only by the triple world champion Ayrton Senna.
Oscar Piastri is close to equal the record of Ayrton Senna
The first time that the legendary Brazilian won four races in a row was in his first year in McLaren, in 1988. Then he triumphed in the UK, Germany, Hungary and Belgium, on his way to his first world title.
The second time that Senna recorded four consecutive victories was in 1991, when she began her third title with successes in the United States, Brazil, San Marino and Monaco.
Piastri's current series started in Bahrain, followed by victories in Saudi Arabia and Miami. Last year, the Australian was very fast at Imola and qualified second, but after qualifying he was penalized with three places because he blocked on Kevin Magnussen in the first phase for the pole position. Started from fifth place and finished the race in fourth place.
