No podium on the menu: burger promo changed after Piastri's dip in form

At the São Paulo Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri once again missed out on the podium. His recent form has even prompted an Australian restaurant to change its promotion.

The McLaren driver has a burger named after him at an Australian chain called Grill’d Healthy Burgers.

The limited-edition Oscar Piastri Burger features a wagyu beef patty and a charcoal bun.

Throughout the season, if Piastri finished on the podium, fans could get a free burger with purchase. However, since Grill’d shared the promotion on social media with a dedicated post after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Piastri has yet to score a podium. Since September, he is yet to finish inside the top three on a Sunday.

Now, the promotion has been changed: fans can get a free burger simply when Piastri competes in a race in F1.

Piastri losing ground in the championship battle

After Lando Norris' statement win at the Brazil GP, the Australian now finds himself in a complicated situation heading into the final three rounds of the 2025 F1 season.

The British driver outscored him by 23 points this weekend, which means he is now 24 points ahead in the drivers’ standings.

The Formula 1 season continues in two weeks' time with the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
