Talk about an unexpected twist in the world of McLaren! Oscar Piastri, the latest sensation on the track, recently got featured on the ‘Fast and the Curious’ Instagram, and boy, did he have a tale to tell. And one does have a lot to tell when evolving from targeting points to podiums.

Given the social media buzz that surrounds him, it’s not just him making waves, but apparently, his mother, Nicole Piastri too. The young racer jovially commented on his mom becoming an inadvertent social media sensation. Oh, to be the mother of an F1 prodigy in the age of Twitter (X)!

When asked about her reaction to his new contract, and the most peculiar part of her reaction, “We’re doing this for another three years?” In classic Piastri fashion, he answered with a smile, “Yeah, she was very happy, yeah. I hate to break it to her, but hopefully, it’s not just three years that I’m doing this for, it’s at least three or four times that amount.”

Sorry, Mrs. Piastri. Looks like your son’s racing aspirations might keep those Twitter notifications pinging a tad longer. Here’s to many more years of Oscar’s on-track brilliance and his mom’s delightful online antics!

It’s not every day that an F1 driver finds himself in the shadow of his mum’s rising social media fame, but that’s the case for the talented Oscar Piastri! Piastri took a light-hearted moment to chat about the unexpected sensation of having his mother become a Twitter star. For example, here is a tweet from her, and the coolness quotient is off the charts!

When asked about his mum’s growing social media popularity, Piastri said, “Well, it’s been cool, it’s been funny. It’s always nice to have your family involved and giving you some stick on social media. Some of the texts, I kind of, you know, put my head in my hands, but they’re well received, and they’ve been good, so it’s all good.”
