Who is Oscar Piastri dating?

The Australian is someone who prefers to keep his private life private and out of the media’s attention. Thus far, Piastri has not mentioned his partner during any interviews or events. However, that will all change because of all the attention that surrounds every Formula 1 driver. Piastri made an appearance with his girlfriend in February 2022. Piastri posted a photo of the two from the Autosport awards ceremony where he collected the award for the Rookie of the Year for the second time in a row.

Piastri captioned the post, “It was an amazing night at the @autosport awards last weekend. I won the Autosport Rookie of the Year Award for the 2nd year running, thanks to everyone who voted!” Sadly, there was no mention of his girlfriend nor was she tagged in the post. However, thanks to Pimiso. com, we at least have a name.

The name of Piastri’s mystery girlfriend is Lily Zneimer. It is understood the two are of a similar age. However, the details of how the two met, how long they have been dating, etc. are all unknown. Why? Thanks to the tight-lipped nature of Oscar Piastri.

During his 21st birthday, when Piastri was gearing up for his first F1 drive as the backup for the BWT Alpine F1 team several members joined in the celebration. Esteban Ocon from the Alpine team was present as well as Mark Webber who is Piastri’s manager and mentor.

“Having my girlfriend Lily here for the first time and attending my maiden Grand Prix in Melbourne with my pals makes me very pleased,” said Piastri appreciating his girlfriend and friends supporting him.

Dominating the Formula 3 and 2 series might have earned him recognition in and around the grid. However, now that Piastri is part of the premier class, there will be a lot more eyes on the young Australian.

Safe to say, we will be seeing Piastri’s girlfriend more often now after he makes his debut. However, there is still no guarantee that the two will share details about their relationship with the rest of the world. Regardless, we can’t wait to welcome the newest addition to the Formula 1 family.
