Australian Oscar Piastri won the Formula Two title in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, his third successive crown on the road to Formula One, but the Alpine Academy driver will have to wait to take the next big step.
The 20-year-old Melbourne-born driver went from 10th to third for the Prema team in a reverse-grid sprint race won by Indian Jehan Daruvala at Yas Marina to take the title with two races to spare.
Piastri, who has built up an unsurpassable 57.5 point lead after five wins and five pole positions, won the Formula Three title at the first attempt last year and the Formula Renault EuroCup in 2019.
