Born and raised in Melbourne, Piastri began his career in radio-controlled racing before moving into karting aged 10, winning several regional titles. 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 FIA Formula 2 Championships back-to-back with Prema, becoming the sixth driver in history to win the GP2/Formula 2 title 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 2022,[note 1] 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 victory in Hungary, becoming the fifth Australian driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix, and repeated this feat in Azerbaijan. In 2025, he has taken five further victories, as well as his maiden pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix, in a title battle with Norris.
As of the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, Piastri has achieved seven race wins, four pole positions, seven fastest laps, and 20 podiums in Formula One. Piastri is contracted to remain at McLaren until at least the end of the 2028 season.[1]

Oscar Jack Piastri was born on 6 April 2001 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[2] His father, Chris Piastri, is the founder and owner of HP Tuners, an automotive software company; the company sponsored his junior formulae career with up to A$6.5 million.[3] He served as Piastri's kart mechanic as he contested national championships in Australia.[4] His mother, Nicole Piastri (née MacFadyen), helped raise him in the suburb of Brighton with his three younger sisters—Hattie, Edie, and Mae.[5] He claims Italian, Yugoslavian, and Chinese heritage from his father, as well as Scottish and Irish from his mother.[6] His bedtime stories frequently consisted of automotive books, prompting his father to buy him a radio-controlled car on a business trip when he was six, which he began racing in his backyard.[2]
Piastri began racing competitively aged nine with Remote Control Racing Australia, winning the secondary class of the national championship before moving into kart racing.[7][8] Aged 14, he moved with his father—who returned to Melbourne six months later—to Hertford, England, to continue his international racing career in Europe.[2] Having been privately educated at Haileybury, he moved to its sister school in Hertford Heath—whose alumni include Stirling Moss—as a boarding pupil on a sports scholarship.[9][10] By the end of 2015, Piastri began travelling for karting tests and competitions between Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, and Portugal from Stansted Airport, costing his father around £250,000.[3] In 2019, he was taken under the wing of nine-time Grand Prix winner Mark Webber and his wife, Ann, who has served as his manager since and negotiated his move to Formula One.[11]

Karting (2011–2016)
2011–2015: State titles in Australia
Following his successes in radio-controlled racing, Piastri moved into kart racing in 2011 at the local Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club (OGKRC) in Clayton South, aged 10.[12][8] A protégé of two-time Australian Champion James Sera,[7] he began competing for the club that year in an FA Kart chassis.[4][13] He won his first title two years later: the 2013 CIK Stars of Karting in the Rookies class.[4][14] In 2014, he won the OGKRC Championship, City of Melbourne Titles, South Australian Championship, and National Sprint Classic Champion of Champions in Junior Clubman—he claimed a A$500 prize for the latter.[15][16][17] He further claimed runner-up in the Australian National Sprint Championship and the Victorian Championship, before progressing to international competition in the IAME International Final at Le Mans; he finished third on his debut in X30 Junior from twenty-first on the grid.[18] He closed his national career with third in the KF3 Australian Championship—where he was ranked the Top Qualifier—as well as victory in the Victorian Championship, OGKRC's Junior Top Guns, the Gold Coast Race of Stars, and the City of Melbourne Titles again in 2015.[19][20]
2015–2016: Move to the European scene
With the support of Sera and talent scout Rob McIntyre, Piastri moved to compete in Europe from 2015 onwards with Kosmic.[21][7] Vroomkart later contrasted his career path to that of Ayrton Senna, having both progressed from RC racing to European karting after a transcontinental move.[22] In KF-Junior, he claimed twelfth in the European Championship round at Portimão—where he finished twenty-sixth overall—and entered one round of the WSK Super Master Series.[23][20] In 2016, he returned to Australia to claim his third successive City of Melbourne Titles.[19] In Europe, he joined Ricky Flynn Motorsport,[20] where he finished tenth in the South Garda Winter Cup, twelfth in the WSK Super Master Series, and eighth in the WSK Final Cup.[23][24] Back-to-back podiums at Portimão saw him claim sixteenth in the European Championship.[25][26] He qualified fourth for the World Championship at Sakhir after winning his heat; his pre-final saw him drop to eighteenth before recovering to finish sixth overall in his final karting appearance.[27][28]
Formula 4 (2016–2017)
2016–2017: Junior formulae debut in the UAE
Following his sixth-place at the Karting World Championship in OK-Junior, Piastri made his junior formulae debut in the second round of the Formula 4 UAE Championship at Yas Marina with Dragon F4;[29] in a nine-driver field, he claimed sixth, fifth, fourth, and fifth on debut.[30][31] He then scored a pair of fourth-places at Dubai before claiming two podiums on his return to Yas Marina—his final appearance in the series, ending the season sixth overall having contested 11 of 18 races.[31][32][12]
2017: Runner-up in British F4

Piastri moved to the F4 British Championship for 2017 with Arden,[33] owned by Christian Horner—who later revealed he turned down the chance to sign Piastri to the Red Bull Junior Team.[34] He opened his campaign with two podiums at Brands Hatch,[35] which he repeated in the third race at Donington Park, marred by the accident of Billy Monger.[36][37] After another podium at Thruxton,[38] he claimed his maiden F4 victory in the second race at Oulton Park to move second in the championship.[39][40] Podiums in each race at Croft and two victories from pole position each at Snetterton and Knockhill consolidated his position.[41][42] He came under pressure from Logan Sargeant after two retirements at Rockingham.[43] A triple podium at Silverstone, including victory in the final race, extended his advantage,[44][45] before clinching the runner-up spot to the second-year Jamie Caroline with top-five finishes at Brands Hatch.[46] He closed the season on 376.5 points—20.5 ahead of Sargeant and 65.5 behind Caroline—with six victories from 15 podiums and six pole positions.[47] He later credited "learning from [his] mistakes in F4" as his greatest lesson in junior formulae.[48]
Formula Renault 2.0 (2017–2019)

In 2018, Piastri made his debut in the championship, reuniting with Arden.[49] Claiming three podiums, with a highest placed finish of second at the second race at Hockenheim, he finished the season ninth in the championship.[50] In December 2018, it was announced Piastri would switch to reigning team champions R-ace GP for the 2019 championship.[51] He claimed his first victory in the series at Silverstone[52] and repeated with a second win at the same venue a day later.[53] He became the first driver to win three races in 2019 after taking victory at Spa-Francorchamps in July,[54] and became the champion after taking a win and fourth place at the final round at Yas Marina.[55]

FIA Formula 3 (2020)
In December 2018, Piastri took part in the GP3 Series post-season test at Yas Marina with Trident.[note 2][57] In October 2019, Piastri joined the post-season test with reigning FIA Formula 3 team champions Prema Racing.[58] In January 2020, the Italian outfit signed Piastri to contest the upcoming season,[59] alongside Logan Sargeant and 2019 Formula Regional European champion Frederik Vesti. Piastri started third on the grid for his debut race at the Red Bull Ring.[60] He collided with pole-sitter Sebastián Fernández at the first corner but avoided damage and went on to take victory.[61] He then stated that "he thought [his] first Formula 3 race had ended in the first 10 seconds."[62] Piastri took three consecutive second-place finishes at both Hungaroring races[63] and the first Silverstone feature race, before his first retirement of the season came at the following Silverstone sprint race when a stuck-open DRS forced him to withdraw.[64] Teammate Sargeant took the lead of the championship from Piastri at the second Silverstone feature race after Piastri struggled with reliability issues in qualifying.[65] Piastri started fifth for the sprint race in Barcelona, but overtook multiple cars to take the lead before the end of the first lap. He held his position to take his second victory.[66]
Piastri reclaimed the championship lead after finishing fifth at the following Spa-Francorchamps feature race,[67] but dropped back again after being penalised for an illegal overtake in the sprint race, which Sargeant won.[68] Piastri was penalised in qualifying at Monza for impeding Jake Hughes and started the feature race in 15th place.[69] He charged to third place by the end of the race, benefiting from Sargeant being involved in a collision, to retake the championship lead.[70] Piastri retired from the sprint race after he was hit by Clément Novalak, but was also issued a five-place grid penalty for the next race for earlier forcing David Beckmann off the track.[71] Despite his retirement, Piastri maintained the lead of the championship after his teammates collided with each other. Piastri lined up 16th on the grid for the final feature race at the Mugello Circuit[72] and failed to score points after finishing 11th.[73] Title rival Sargeant finished sixth, leaving both drivers tied on 160 points going into the final race.[74] Sargeant started the sprint race six places ahead of Piastri, but was eliminated after a collision on the first lap. Piastri's only remaining title rival, Théo Pourchaire, was unable to bridge the points gap and Piastri finished seventh to claim the championship title, three points ahead of Pourchaire and four ahead of Sargeant.[75][76]
FIA Formula 2 (2021)

Piastri remained with Prema for his 2021 campaign in FIA Formula 2, replacing Mick Schumacher to partner Ferrari Driver Academy member Robert Shwartzman.[77] He debuted in Formula Two machinery during the three-day 2020 post-season test at Sakhir.[78] Prior to the season, he stated that he was expecting a "very challenging year", with plans to remain in the category for two years.[79] Piastri qualified seventh on debut at Sakhir,[80][81] finishing fifth in the reverse-grid first sprint race.[82] Starting sixth for the second sprint,[note 3] he took his maiden victory after seven overtakes in the closing seven laps, following a pit stop for option tyres behind the safety car, claiming the lead from Zhou Guanyu on the final tour.[84] He then made several overtakes to lead the feature, before retiring amidst a collision with Dan Ticktum whilst battling for third on the antepenultimate lap.[85] Qualifying third in both Monte Carlo and Baku,[note 4] he claimed second in the second sprint and feature at the former, as well as the latter feature.[88][89][90] Following his maiden pole position at Silverstone, he finished sixth, fourth, and third to claim the championship lead from Zhou.[91][92] After ending fourth and seventh in the Monza sprints, he won the feature from pole in a battle with Zhou, which he repeated at Sochi with Théo Pourchaire.[93][94] He took two further victories at Jeddah: he won the second sprint and the feature from pole, the latter being aborted in the wake of several red flag incidents.[95] His fifth consecutive pole at Yas Island saw him start tenth in the first sprint, where he claimed third in a late battle with teammate and runner-up Shwartzman to clinch the title;[96][97] he closed the season with his record fourth successive feature victory.[98] Across his campaign, Piastri took 252.5 points—60.5 ahead of Shwartzman—with six wins from 11 podiums and five pole positions.[99][100] He became the sixth driver in history to win the GP2/F2 title in their rookie season,[note 5] the third to win the GP3/F3 and GP2/F2 titles in successive seasons,[note 6] and the first to win Formula Renault, Formula Three, and Formula Two—or equivalent—championships in successive seasons.[12] He was named FIA Rookie of the Year for his efforts in 2021,[103] stating "[he had] done basically everything [he] could [to prove himself]".[104]

Perspective
Renault / Alpine test driver (2020–2022)
In January 2020, three months after clinching the Formula Renault Eurocup, Piastri became a member of the Renault Sport Academy.[106] He conducted his first test with Renault upon winning the FIA Formula 3 Championship that year, completing nearly 500 km (310 mi) in the R.S.18 at Sakhir.[107] He retained his place at the re-branded Alpine Academy in 2021, for whom he tested the A521 at the Yas Marina post-season test,[108] as well as the R.S.18 again at Silverstone and Monza.[109][93]
After his FIA Formula 2 title victory, Piastri was appointed the reserve driver of Alpine for their 2022 campaign, amidst links to an Alfa Romeo move;[110] he was also made available in the role for McLaren following an agreement between the two teams.[111] He completed around 3,000 km (1,900 mi) of further private tests in the A521 throughout the season—part of an "intense" training programme.[112][113] Prior to the São Paulo Grand Prix, he completed a private two-day test for McLaren at Paul Ricard in the MCL35M, before entering post-season testing in the MCL36;[114] he conducted his final rookie test with the team across two days at Barcelona-Catalunya.[115]
2022 contract dispute

In June 2022, Piastri was offered a seat with Williams for 2023 on a two-year loan from Alpine, who were expected to retain Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso.[116] In August, Alonso announced that he would replace the retiring Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin.[117] Alpine then announced that Piastri would be his replacement, in a press release absent of comments from Piastri himself.[118] He rejected their announcement two hours later via Twitter, stating that he had not signed a contract and would not be driving for them in 2023.[119] Team principal Otmar Szafnauer criticised his actions and "integrity as a human being", stating that he expected loyalty from Piastri and further threatened to take legal action.[120][121] It soon emerged that he was instead in talks with McLaren.[122]
I understand that, without my agreement, [Alpine] have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year.
A hearing of the FIA Contract Recognition Board (CRB) commenced four weeks later to determine whether Piastri was contracted to Alpine, or if he was a free agent—victory for Alpine could have obligated Piastri to either fulfil the contract for 2023, or required an interested team to activate a release clause for his services.[123] Prior to the Dutch Grand Prix, the CRB ruled against Alpine, followed by an immediate announcement that Piastri would instead join McLaren.[124] In their final judgment, the CRB revealed that Piastri had signed his McLaren contract almost a month prior to the Alpine announcement—4 July, the day after the British Grand Prix.[125] He was initially only guaranteed a reserve role, prior to the termination of Daniel Ricciardo in the week before the CRB hearing.[126] Piastri later claimed a "breakdown in trust" between him and Alpine was behind his decision to leave.[127]
McLaren (2023–present)
2023: Rookie season

Piastri signed for McLaren in 2023, replacing Daniel Ricciardo to partner Lando Norris.[124] On debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Piastri qualified eighteenth amidst performance concerns with the MCL60, before retiring from twelfth with an electrical issue.[128] He started eighth in Saudi Arabia prior to dropping outside the points with front wing damage sustained in a first-lap collision with Pierre Gasly.[129] His maiden points finish came at his home Grand Prix in Australia, claiming eighth after starting sixteenth.[130] He finished outside the points with eleventh and nineteenth at the Azerbaijan and Miami Grands Prix, respectively, suffering contact with Alexander Albon at the former and reliability issues at the latter.[131][132] A tenth-placed finish saw him claim a point in Monaco,[133] before a run of three further non-points finishes—in Spain, Canada, and Austria.[134][135][136] Major upgrades for the British Grand Prix saw Piastri qualify third and finish fourth,[137] before finishing fifth in Hungary.[138] He qualified second for the Belgian Grand Prix sprint, retaining the position after a battle for the lead with Max Verstappen;[139] he retired from the main race ensuing a first-corner collision with Carlos Sainz Jr.[140] Piastri then finished ninth at the Dutch Grand Prix.[141] In Italy, he finished twelfth upon receiving damage from Lewis Hamilton, taking his maiden fastest lap after the resultant pit stop.[142][143] He qualified seventeenth in Singapore after a red flag, where he recovered to seventh.[144] Finishing third after starting on the front-row at the Japanese Grand Prix, he became the first rookie to achieve a podium finish since Lance Stroll in 2017.[145] He then took pole for the Qatar Grand Prix sprint, holding off Verstappen to claim his maiden sprint victory;[146] he finished second in the main race, having started sixth.[147] He retired from the United States Grand Prix following a collision with Esteban Ocon,[148] and claimed eighth in Mexico City.[149] He sustained first-lap damage enroute to fourteenth in São Paulo,[150] before closing his rookie season with tenth- and sixth-placed finishes in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi—qualifying third at the latter.[151][152] Piastri finished ninth in the World Drivers' Championship with two podiums and 97 points, 108 behind teammate Norris in sixth;[153] his results led to a multi-year contract extension with McLaren until at least the end of 2026.[154]
2024: Maiden wins
Piastri opened his 2024 campaign with eighth at the Bahrain Grand Prix,[155] followed by fourth-placed finishes in Saudi Arabia and Australia.[156][157] He claimed eighth again at both the Japanese and Chinese Grands Prix.[158][159] In Miami, McLaren emerged as challengers to championship leaders Red Bull;[160] Piastri dropped to thirteenth following a collision in his battle for second with Carlos Sainz Jr., as teammate Lando Norris took victory.[161] He qualified second at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix—demoted to fifth with a grid penalty for impeding Kevin Magnussen—and finished fourth.[162] Piastri qualified and finished second to Charles Leclerc at the Monaco Grand Prix,[163] prior to claiming fifth and seventh at the Canadian and Spanish Grands Prix, respectively.[164][165] He finished second in both the sprint and main race at the Austrian Grand Prix.[166] In Britain, he climbed to second from fifth in the wet before a belated switch to intermediate tyres dropped him to fourth;[167] he fractured a rib during the Grand Prix due to an improper seat fit, which he sustained until the summer break.[168] Piastri qualified second for the Hungarian Grand Prix before overtaking teammate Norris into the first corner; McLaren then allowed Norris to undercut him prior to ordering a position-swap.[169] He allowed Piastri past with two laps remaining, who claimed his maiden victory to become the fifth Australian to win a Formula One Grand Prix.[170] Norris commented that the result was "fair" and "honest", conceding that he lost the race at the start.[171] Piastri finished second in Belgium after a disqualification for George Russell, promoting him to fourth in the standings—ahead of Sainz—before finishing fourth at the Dutch Grand Prix.[172][173] He led the majority of the Italian Grand Prix after a first-lap overtake on Norris, before a strategic error saw him finish second to the one-stop of Leclerc.[174] Qualifying second to Leclerc in Azerbaijan, Piastri claimed another victory following a race-long battle for the lead.[175] He then took third in Singapore,[176] before finishing fifth at the United States Grand Prix.[177] Eighth-placed finishes at the Mexico City and São Paulo Grands Prix—including second at the latter sprint after being ordered to allow Norris to win—were followed by seventh-place in Las Vegas after a false start penalty.[178][179][180][181] Norris returned the favour at the chequered flag for the Qatar Grand Prix sprint, allowing Piastri to take victory before he finished third in the main race.[182][183] He finished the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in tenth after a first-lap collision with Max Verstappen.[184] Piastri ended the season fourth in the World Drivers' Championship on 292 points—82 behind runner-up Norris—with two victories from eight podiums, helping McLaren win their first World Constructors' Championship since 1998.[185]
2025: Title battle vs. Norris
McLaren entered 2025 as title favourites, with Piastri expected to challenge teammate Lando Norris for the World Drivers' Championship.[186] Three days prior to the start of his campaign, McLaren announced a multi-year contract extension with Piastri until at least the end of the 2028 season.[1] He qualified on the front-row for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, behind teammate Norris;[187] he challenged Norris for the lead before spinning in wet conditions, ultimately finishing ninth.[188] After finishing second in the sprint, he took his maiden pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix, dominating the race ahead of Norris to claim his first victory of the season.[189] He finished third in Japan behind Max Verstappen and Norris.[190] Piastri took pole for the Bahrain Grand Prix, cruising to a 15-second winning margin and moving within three points of Norris.[191] He took another victory in Saudi Arabia to become the first Australian to lead the World Drivers' Championship since 2010.[192] He finished second in the Miami Grand Prix sprint after a late safety car put him behind Norris, before winning the main race.[193] On pole for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, he finished third after a first-corner overtake by Verstappen and a strategic error.[194] He won the Spanish Grand Prix after starting on pole,[195] and finished fourth in Canada, where championship rival Norris attempted to overtake him and crashed into the pit wall to extend Piastri's lead to 22 points.[196]
Piastri finished second in Austria after a race-long battle with Norris, narrowly avoiding another collision after locking his brakes at Rauch.[197] He led the majority of the wet-weather British Grand Prix before receiving a penalty for brake testing Verstappen on a restart, conceding the victory to Norris.[198]

Composure

Piastri has been noted by critics for his composure under pressure. In 2023, Scott Mitchell-Malm of The Race compared his "relaxed intensity" to that of Max Verstappen.[199] Upon winning the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Luke Smith of The New York Times stated that "stress isn’t an emotion one would associate with Piastri. His calm, collected demeanor has been present right from his junior days."[200] This quality prompted several journalists to list him as a favourite for the 2025 World Drivers' Championship after the Bahrain Grand Prix,[201][202][203] with Martin Brundle comparing him to Alain Prost.[204] Andrew Benson of BBC Sport stated "combining consistent speed [with] mental solidity and racing decisiveness [makes him] a formidable rival".[205] After winning the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, title rival Verstappen stated "he's very calm in his approach, and I like that. [...] He delivers when he has to, barely makes mistakes—and that's what you need when you want to fight for a championship".[206] As his title battle with teammate Lando Norris emerged, Natalie Pinkham of Top Gear described him as "the cerebral assassin", adding that "he races like he's solving a complex puzzle at [200 mph (320 km/h)]".[207] His composed demeanour has drawn several comparisons to Kimi Räikkönen, widely known as the Iceman.[208][209][210]
Development

Piastri has also been lauded for his adaptability, with race engineer Tom Stallard commending his ability to identify flaws in real-time and make improvements without data analysis.[199] His ability to promptly learn from mistakes was initially noted by his engineer in the F4 UAE Championship.[23] Sky Sports described his rookie campaign as "very impressive", noting that his tyre management required improvement.[153] He was noted for his race pace development throughout 2024, as he took his maiden victories in Hungary and Azerbaijan—the latter was described by Luke Smith of The New York Times as a "coming-of-age drive".[211][212][200] By 2025, several critics opined that he had eradicated the tyre management and qualifying pace issues he experienced in his earlier seasons;[203][213][214][215] he worked closely with his engineers to solve the former.[216]

Notes
- The GP3 Series merged with the FIA Formula 3 European Championship to form the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2019.[56]
- In the 2021 FIA Formula 2 Championship, the top 10 qualifiers were subjected to a reverse-grid in the first sprint race, the results of which were subjected to another reversal for the second sprint.[83]
- Since 2017, qualifying for the Monte Carlo FIA Formula 2 round had been split into two groups; qualifying position in each group decided the starting grid-row, with the order of each row decided by the fastest time between them.[86] Piastri qualified second in his group and, with a faster time than Dan Ticktum, was classified third overall.[87]
- In 2021, Piastri became the sixth driver in history to win the GP2/F2 title in their rookie season, after: Nico Rosberg (2005), Lewis Hamilton (2006), Nico Hülkenberg (2009), Charles Leclerc (2017), and George Russell (2018).[101]
- In 2021, Piastri became the fifth driver in history to win the GP3/F3 and GP2/F2 titles in successive seasons, after: Charles Leclerc and George Russell.[102]
