Most drivers begin by racing rental karts, but Oscar started on an even smaller scale, with the Australian initially embarking on a career in competitive Remote-Control Racing. He raced RC cars on a national stage, winning the second class of a national championship at the age of nine – the driver who came second was eight years his elder.
He and his father were introduced to go-karts by a fellow competitor, and despite spinning on his out-lap, Oscar had his own within a week. After hanging up his handset, Oscar became a leading light of the Australian Karting Scene in the middle of the last decade, finishing second in the 2014 Australian National Sprint Kart Championship (Junior Clubman Class), and then third in the 2015 Australian Kart Championship, KF3 class.
Within three years, he took the difficult decision to move to Europe on his own to pursue a career in motorsport. Aged 14, he relocated to Hertford in England and signed with Ricky Flynn Motorsport - who had previously led Lando Norris to multiple karting titles.
Unlocking his potential
Finishing as British Formula 4 vice-champion in 2017, Oscar's breakthrough campaign came in 2019… Across three seasons, Oscar grabbed the Road to F1 by the scruff of the neck, smashing several records on his way to becoming the first driver to win Formula Renault, Formula 3 and Formula 2 consecutively.
After winning Formula Renault Eurocup with seven wins and 11 podiums, COVID-19 delayed his Formula 3 debut by several months and shortened the season to a brutal nine rounds in 11 weeks. Piastri was one of nine different race winners from 18 races, taking two victories and a further four podiums for PREMA Racing, clinching the title in a tense season finale.
He did this despite never taking pole, instead relying on astute tyre management, raw pace and consistency. The latter of those is arguably his strongest, most defining attribute – he finished outside of the points just three times.

Honing his craft
Earning promotion into F2 with PREMA, Piastri used the familiarity and continuity of that relationship to focus on improving his Qualifying in pre-season. His efforts were rewarded as he became the first driver in F2 to take five consecutive pole positions, from Round 4 in Silverstone to the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
His F2 title win was much more cut and dry than F3, with six wins and a further five podiums, Oscar clinched the crown emphatically with two races to spare. As with his previous two championship successes, his consistency shone through – he scored 14 top-fives from 23 races, at least one podium every round, and only finished out of the points four times.
With no F1 vacancy for Piastri in 2022 and due to regulations preventing the F2 Drivers' Champion from returning to compete again, Oscar remained active as the Reserve Driver for the Alpine F1 team, which included test days and race attendance.
“I’m excited by the room for growth after two seasons in the sport. Winning Grands Prix early in my career has given me the taste for success and I want much more”

Domaine Chataigneraie-Laborier, Gilles Morat, Aux Vignes Dessus, Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy, 2013

Gilles Morat took over part of the family domaine in 1997 and has since been buying up small plots on great terroirs around Vergisson in Mâcon. Today he has 17 parcels totalling 6ha. This is a charming wine of purity and elegance. Minerality is at the fore with lime and leaf characters, real depth and leesy notes on the palate and a fresh finish. Stocks are low, so snap this up.
