Oscar Jack Piastri (born 6 April 2001) is an Australian racing driver currently competing in Formula One for McLaren.
Graduating from karting 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 Racing, becoming the sixth driver in history to win the GP2/Formula 2 championship in their rookie season. He is the only driver in history to win Formula Renault, Formula Three, and Formula Two (or equivalent) championships in successive seasons.[2]
Following a contract dispute with Alpine, Piastri signed with McLaren for the 2023 Formula One season. He achieved his first career podium in his rookie season at the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix. He achieved his first career win at the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix, becoming the fifth Australian driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix.
As of the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix, Piastri has achieved one race win, three fastest laps and six podiums in Formula One. Piastri is set to remain at McLaren until at least the end of the 2026 season.[3]
