MANAMA—Australian Oscar Piastri's Formula One debut lasted 14 laps before his McLaren was wheeled into the garage with an electrical problem in Sunday's Bahrain season-opener. The 21-year-old had complained over the radio of gearbox problems and was told the mechanics would swap his steering wheel when he pitted. The stop then dragged on, with the pit crew waiting as the seconds ticked by after the tyres were changed and nothing happened. Piastri was the first retirement of what will be a record 23-race season.
