Oscar Jack Piastri (born 6 April 2001) is an Australian racing driver, currently competing in Formula One for McLaren. Piastri has won two Formula One Grands Prix across two seasons.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Piastri began his career in radio-controlled racing before moving into karting aged nine. Graduating to junior formulae in 2016, Piastri won his first championship at the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup with R-ace GP. He then won both the 2020 FIA Formula 3 and 2021 Formula 2 championships back-to-back with Prema, becoming the sixth driver in history to win the GP2/Formula 2 championship in their rookie season. Piastri is the only driver in history to win Formula Renault, Formula Three and Formula Two—or equivalent—championships in successive seasons.
A member of the Alpine Academy from 2020 to 2021, Piastri signed with McLaren in 2023 to partner Lando Norris, following a contract dispute with Alpine. He made his Formula One debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix, achieving his first career podium in his rookie season at the Japanese Grand Prix. Retaining his seat for 2024, Piastri achieved his maiden career win in Hungary, becoming the fifth Australian driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix, repeating this feat in Azerbaijan.
As of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, Piastri has achieved two race wins, three fastest laps and nine podiums in Formula One. Piastri is set to remain at McLaren until at least the end of the 2026 season.[1]
