McLaren Racing has signed 2021 FIA Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri on a multi-year contract.
The 21-year-old Australian has signed with McLaren on a multi-year contract to partner Lando Norris from the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship season.
Piastri boasts of an impressive resume winning the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup before going on to win the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship and 2021 FIA Formula 2 Championship in successive rookie seasons.
Piastri will join Norris to complete the McLaren F1 Team 2023 driver line-up after the team announced a multi-year extension to Lando’s contract last season.
Speaking about the move, Piastri said:
I’m extremely excited to be making my F1 debut with such a prestigious team as McLaren and I’m very grateful for the opportunity that’s been offered to me.
The team has a long tradition of giving young talent a chance, and I’m looking forward to working hard alongside Lando to push the team towards the front of the grid.
