‘It's been incredible’ – Piastri reflects on becoming a title contender, battling Norris and what’s to come after the break

In just his third F1 season, McLaren's Oscar Piastri is a firm title contender as he leads the Drivers' Championship ahead of his team mate Lando Norris. With just 10 race weekends left in 2025, the Australian looks back on his year so far and what's to come.

Over the course of 60 Grands Prix – and around two-and-a-half years – Oscar Piastri has gone from highly-rated rookie to standings leader, blossoming into a genuine contender for his first Formula 1 World Championship.

The 24-year-old Australian has delivered on expectation (he had immense success through junior formulae, winning Formula Renault Eurocup, F3 and F2 back-to-back) – and he's made steady and relentless progress since his debut in 2023.

In his first campaign, the McLaren racer twice reached the podium, scored points in 11 Grands Prix total, took a Sprint win and just finished shy of a century of points on 97.
