Exciting young Aussie took centre stage at the McLaren 2023 launch

After agreeing to join Lando Norris in the renowned papaya car, the charismatic young Australian took centre stage at the McLaren 2023 presentation earlier this week. The season's first Grand Prix will take place at the same track on March 5 after testing in Bahrain. Piastri understands the importance of being surrounded by the right people since his road to get here has not been simple. It becomes even more significant when viewed through the strong prism of F1, but it's also crucial to note that the Formula 2 and 3 winner happens to be surrounded by Australian motorsport aristocracy.

Mark Webber, a former Red Bull athlete, and his wife Ann are the core members of the Piastri backroom staff, which is essential if he is to have any chance of succeeding at McLaren.
