WATCH: How Oscar Piastri stormed the junior categories and became an F1 winner
Share
Oscar Piastri is now officially a Grand Prix winner, having taken victory in the Hungary on his 35th race start. But while he may still be relatively new to Formula 1, the Australian has been impressing across the motorsport ranks from an early age.
After starting his karting career back home, Piastri faced the daunting step of moving to Europe aged just 14 to pursue his racing career in England. From there the teenager flourished, clinching victory in his debut Formula 4 race at Brands Hatch.
More success followed, with Piastri claiming consecutive championship titles in Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula 3 and Formula 2 in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively, before an infamous battle for his F1 services played out between Alpine and McLaren.
It was the latter for whom the young hopeful eventually made his Formula 1 debut in 2023. And while many might have struggled with the pressure in such a situation, Piastri displayed a cool and calm demeanour as he continued to impress at the Woking squad.
Hit play on the video above to watch how Piastri’s journey to becoming an F1 race winner unfolded.
