Beyond the stats:
Oscar Piastri, the coolest customer in the cockpit. The boy from down under has been a revelation since joining the F1 paddock and continues to go from strength to strength in the Papaya of McLaren. Going from emerging rookie to certified title contender in the blink of an eye, Piastri is as real a deal as you'll find behind the wheel. McLaren had been looking for the man who would help them take the next steps on their quest for supremacy, but once they found Piastri to partner Norris, they've never looked back.
In a sport filled with so much emotion and intensity, every time Piastri enters the car, it seems more like a Sunday stroll, given the composure and calm he displays week in and week out. It's not just his world-class race craft—being able to drive beyond his years—but also the ice in his veins whenever a challenge arises. This 2025 season will be a special one for Piastri, as the budding rookie from two years ago is now a fully-fledged contender. Recognized as one for the future, he is now stamping his claim, telling the F1 world that the future is now, and no one can deny his place anymore.
