Oscar Piastri makes his F1 debut in 2023, with him driving for McLaren alongside Lando Norris.
The Australian has a lot expected of him, after impressing in both F3 and F2, with him winning those two championships one after the other, as he became just the fifth driver to have ever done so behind Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, Charles Leclerc, and George Russell.
That, then, is perhaps explanation as to why he is so highly thought of and, indeed, as to why McLaren were so eager to sign him and Alpine were so eager to keep him.
He will partner Lando Norris in 2023 as he replaces compatriot Daniel Ricciardo within the team, but what is there to know about him? Here's some basic info...

Norris will be a tough team-mate to battle against, but Piastri will feel as though he is good enough to more than hold his own.
