Oscar Piastri joins the Australian winners of an F1 Grand Prix alongside Daniel Ricciardo, manager Mark Webber and world champs Jack Brabham and Alan Jones.

Oscar Piastri has joined an illustrious elite list of four other Australian drivers who have won Formula One Grand Prix, following his victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

His victory at the Hungaroring was the 44th by an Australian driver, stretching back to Jack Brabham's triumph at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix.

The last win by an Australian before Piastri's breakthrough was Daniel Ricciardo's triumph, also for McLaren, in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in September 2021. Piastri replaced Ricciardo at the British team at the start of 2023.
