- 21-year-old “extremely excited” to land drive with British giants
- Piastri takes seat vacated by fellow-Australian Daniel Ricciardo
Australia’s Oscar Piastri, the most wanted man in Formula One, says he’s “extremely excited” to have landed a drive with British giants McLaren in next season’s championship.
McLaren won its contract battle with French rivals Alpine on Friday, enabling the team to announce 21-year-old Piastri will be the man to take over from fellow Aussie Daniel Ricciardo next season.
