Piastri senior, who runs a successful automotive software development company, has been with him every step of the way. Kevin Magnussen (Haas) 14. And while capturing the hearts of such fervent fans, over 400,000 of whom will flock to Albert Park this weekend, will be no mean feat, Piastri looks to have the skills and the character to do it. The financial commitment is just one part. Follow Luke on Twitter @LukeSmithF1, Piastri is one of three current F1 drivers to have won the F2 and F3 championships. Glad no one was hurt but we must ensure things like that dont happen again. This year in F2 at Prema Racing, Piastri and his backers would have to have found between 40-50 per cent of the estimated cost of 2 million, with Alpine also providing significant funding. The car is decidedly in better health than the same period last year, even if a drive-shaft failure during qualifying in Jeddah condemned Verstappen to starting 15th on the grid. That year he moved to the UK full-time to compete across Europe, Piastri's mother Nicole joked about 'still having to watch the kids play sport' out the front of the McLaren garage in Oscar's first F1 race at Bahrain on March 3. The 22-year-old Australian replaced Daniel Ricciardo for the 2023 season, after winning the Formula 2 championship in 2021. We jumped on a plane with his helmet, gloves and a suit and turned up to race, Chris recalled. This makes him 21 years old as of 2022. He also participated in international CIK-FIA-sanctioned karting events. Remarkably, Piastri finished with the same Q3 time as Lance Stroll down to the thousandth of a second:1 minute 41.611 seconds. His Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez was able to pit under the safety car as debris after Alpha Tauri driver Nyck De Vries hit the wall, inheriting the lead as a result and hanging on until the end. He was very smooth, he knew the lines so quickly. "I was a little bit frustrated to do the same time as Lance but it was a positive day and I'm looking forward to jumping out to qualify again tomorrow morning," Piastri said.
