Overview
- Grill'd changed its Piastri promotion from rewarding podiums to awarding a bonus burger whenever he finishes a race.
- The original September offer promised a free bonus burger after any podium, but a run of non-podium results triggered the revision.
- The updated deal applies in Australia and runs through mid-December, with three race weekends remaining on the calendar.
- Piastri has not stood on the podium since the Italian Grand Prix and has not won since the Dutch Grand Prix, following a momentum-stopping crash in Baku.
- After Brazil, Piastri fell 24 points behind leader Lando Norris as Max Verstappen cut the gap, though McLaren chief Andrea Stella cited encouraging race pace and learning for the run-in.
