Oscar Piastri

Oscar Piastri won everything on the way up — Formula Renault, F3 and F2 in consecutive title-winning seasons — before a headline-making contract saga landed him at McLaren. Once in the car, the cool-headed Australian justified the hype immediately, winning races and matching his highly rated team-mate.

In 2026 Piastri and Lando Norris form a young, evenly matched pairing at the sharp end. Expect an intense but respectful intra-team battle, with Piastri's calm racecraft making him a serious contender in his own right under the new rules.
