Norris crossed behind him after he recovered from a bad start. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari was third.
Max Verstappen crossed fifth but was dropped to 10th after he was given a 10-second penalty for colliding with fourthplace finisher George Russell of Mercedes late.
It was the third McLaren one-two of the season and the team’s seventh win in nine races, with Piastri taking five of those victories.
“Very hard to complain. It has been a great year,” Piastri said. “We executed everything we needed to. I am really enjoying it.”
