On winning the Spanish GP, McLaren's Piastri said: "It was a bit of a surprise to see Max Verstappen try a three-stop and it nearly worked for him, so yeah it was a great weekend overall though.
"The overall pace was really good and we could turn it on when we needed to and just very proud of the work we’ve done this weekend.
"It wasn’t the best first practice and then we got our stuff together, it’s a nice way to bounce back from Monaco, it’s been a superb weekend."
Norris added: "Oscar drove a very good race today. I didn't quite have the pace to match him. We gave it our best shot. It's a long race, anything could have happened at the end of the race.

"We both got pretty sideways with the safety car restart. It was a good, fun race and for us as a team to finish one-two is even better."
