Seventh in the table. A quiet year next to his teammates title defence, with three races left to make some noise.

About

Oscar Piastri announced himself by winning the Formula 3 and Formula 2 titles back to back as a rookie, then carried that same cold composure into Formula 1 with McLaren. The Australian rarely wastes a weekend.

Seventh in the 2026 championship on 144 points, his season has run quieter than his team mate’s title defence of a year ago. Three rounds remain for him to make some noise before the year closes.
