The Man That Brought Oscar Piastri To Europe: ‘From His First Test, You Could Tell He Was Just Fast’Sam CooperFormula Renault Champion 2019, Formula 3 Champion 2020, Formula 2 Champion 2021. Oscar Piastri has experienced a remarkable rise on his way to the Formula 1 grid.
He was born in Melbourne and after proving himself a successful remote control car driver, he graduated up to karting but, as any younger driver soon finds out, it is Europe that is the ultimate proving ground for Formula 1 hopefuls. The fable of George Russell and his email to Toto Wolff is one that is well known in Formula 1 circles but a lesser known story of the same ilk came when Piastri and his father were looking to make the swap from Australia to Europe.
It was no small decision for the family or the team with the Piastris having to leave their home and the team having to find somewhere for their new driver to live but by December, the contract had been signed. From there, Piastri has enjoyed a meteoric rise. Winning both Formula 3 and Formula 2 in his debut season, a feat only Charles Leclerc and George Russell had done previously, before securing a Formula 1 seat at the age of 21.
“I’m sure [leaving his family behind] would have not been helpful for him in the first three, four months of the year,” Flynn said. “But by the middle of the season, he had obviously developed a lot better. “His feedback was good. Car control was good. Just a kid that you knew was obviously talented and he wasn’t going to stop just with karting.
Seeing them line up on the grid in Bahrain, alongside another graduate Sargeant, will be a proud moment for Flynn.
