Watch: Oscar Piastri shares emotional message with fans after first career win in the F1 Hungarian GP

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri shared an emotional message for his fans as he claimed that the feeling of winning his first race win was 'slowly sinking in'. The Aussie driver took the lead of the race on the opening lap from his teammate Lando Norris, who started in the pole position and held the advantage for most of the race.

However, the 23-year-old's maiden victory was marred with controversy regarding the team orders implemented by the Woking-based outfit, as they told Norris to slow down and give Piastri back the lead with just a couple of laps remaining. The Brit had successfully undercut his teammate but unwillingly gave back P1 to Piastri.

Although, Oscar Piastri was slightly subdued in his reactions post-race put on his social media to thank fans for their support and said:

"Hey everyone, 24 hours on from a pretty epic moment in my career so far, so I just want to send a quick video or post a quick video saying "thank you for all the support". Firstly to everyone that was there at the track, I think I said after the race but there were a lot of Aussie flags out there so yeah thanks for all your support from Down Under."

"I think it's time to let it sink in a little bit more. It's kind of hard to take in the moment, to realize what you've accomplished and how long you've been waiting for that moment," he added.

The McLaren driver pointed out that the moment as:

"Something I've dreamed of since I was a kid. It's starting to sink in a little bit more and I'm just very happy. We'll go again this week, try and get the second one on the board."

Oscar Piastri cheekily thanks a fan for their €5 ahead of the Hungarian GP

"Thank you for all the support and keep it coming. One race win up and an extra five euros. To the fan, you know who you are. You might have to give me five euros every week!"

With his win at the Hungaroring, Oscar Piastri moved to P5 in the driver's championship with 149 points after 13 races and three Sprints thus far. He has moved to within five points of Carlos Sainz in P4 and 13 points within Charles Leclerc while being 40 points behind his teammate Lando Norris with 11 races and three Sprints remaining.
