Oscar Piastri misses out on more in Barcelona

Oscar Piastri secured P7 for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, but it was a frustrating end to what looked like a much more promising qualifying session for the McLaren driver. He was clear about where it went wrong, admitting, "It was a good lap until the last sector."

That final sector proved to be the undoing of his ultimate pace. It is a classic heartbreak for any driver: putting together a beautiful, fast sequence only to bleed away the crucial time when it matters most in the closing moments of Q3.
