Oscar Piastri

McLaren F1 Team
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Australian rookie Piastri has quite the shoes to fill in his first season with Formula One, taking former McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo's spot as Lando Norris' teammate for the 2023 campaign. Piastri was quite the phenom in his last season with Formula 2 in 2021, winning a total of six times, earning 252 points, and walking away with the Driver's Championship after just 23 starts in the series. The driver of the No. 81 will have a lot of eyes on his on-track performance this year, as McLaren is famous for their incoming drivers having issues sufficiently adapting to the feeling and handling of the car. In the upcoming season, Piastri's greatest challenge will be learning how to adjust his racing style to fit the capabilities of the MCL36 and where he fits amongst all the new talent on the grid this season.

Wins Hungarian Grand Prix
Formula One
July 21, 2024
Piastri has taken his debut Grand Prix victory in Hungary after intra-team drama played out, with McLaren team mate Lando Norris belatedly responding to an order to hand back the lead to the Australian who had lost out due to the team's pit stop strategy, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Piastri would lead after the lights out as a three-car battle would rage on lap 1. The McLaren youngster would set the pace early going into opening pit stops. Lap 46 and 48 pit stops would see Norris emerge ahead of Piastri due to a slower stop. The team informed Norris they would like PIastri to retake the lead as the order prior to stops. This would create a big drama on the radio for the remainder of the grand prix and Norris would eventually hand the lead back to Piastri on lap 68. The victory was the first of his career in his 35th start as an F1 driver.
