Verstappen,who missed out on the podium a week ago in Singapore,started from pole and held on for his 13th win of the season.
Norris was second,19.4 seconds behind him,whilePiastri was third.
Speaking to F1 TV after the race,Piastri was clearly still coming to terms with the result.
“It feels pretty special,definitely – I’ll remember it for a very,very long time,” he said.
“I can’t thank the team enough for giving me this opportunity – there’s not many people in the world who get this opportunity in their whole life,and I’ve managed to have it in my first season,so thank you very much to the team. It wasn’t my best race ever,but it was enough to get a trophy at the end.”
