Oscar Piastri 2027: who he is and where he comes from

Oscar Piastri is an Australian driver, born in 2001, who joined the Formula 1 grid in 2023. His rise was quick, and McLaren has since tied him to the team through a multi-year extension that covers 2027.

He has quickly made a name as a composed racer. For spectators, that kind of driver is rewarding to follow through a long afternoon, when tyre management and track position decide results.

Next season he lines up beside Lando Norris, the 2025 champion. McLaren is based in Woking and will run Mercedes engines in 2027, after winning the constructors' title in 2024 and 2025.

Having two strong drivers in one team makes for internal battles worth watching live. Our McLaren page goes further into the team, and the driver overview shows how the other nine teams compare.

Where to watch Oscar Piastri in 2027: Melbourne

His home event is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 4 April 2027. Expect a strongly supportive crowd, and plan your travel early if you are coming from outside Australia, since flights and rooms around race week are in demand.

The 2027 motorsport calendar will help you place the race among the opening rounds, and the F1 2027 calendar lists every Grand Prix in order.

Planning a trip around Piastri's races in 2027

Melbourne is far from most of the world, so a trip for the Australian Grand Prix is usually a bigger undertaking than a European weekend. Start with your dates, then look at flights, then choose a ticket category that suits your budget and the view you want.

Many visitors add extra days to explore the city and region rather than rush home after the chequered flag. If you prefer a shorter journey, our F1 calendar includes plenty of European rounds where McLaren will also be racing, and you can still see Piastri in action.

Whichever round you choose, check entry rules for your destination, carry a copy of your ticket and arrive at the circuit early. Gate queues, security checks and crowds are part of any big Grand Prix day.
