Oscar Piastri Joins McLaren Legends After Historic Win… and Lewis Hamilton Is NOT One of Them
In a stunning display of talent and composure, Oscar Piastri has etched his name into McLaren history with a landmark Formula 1 victory—becoming one of the youngest drivers to win for the iconic team. The 23-year-old Australian delivered a flawless performance, dominating the field and reviving memories of McLaren’s golden era.
His historic triumph has already drawn comparisons to the likes of Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Mika Häkkinen—drivers whose legendary careers were closely tied to McLaren’s success. But notably absent from the list of names is seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Despite Hamilton’s debut and first world title coming with McLaren in 2008, insiders and longtime team fans often view his legacy as less intertwined with McLaren’s identity than others. His early departure to Mercedes and subsequent dominance with the Silver Arrows has somewhat distanced his status within the Woking-based team’s pantheon of greats.
Piastri’s meteoric rise, paired with his loyalty and team-first attitude, is being hailed as a new chapter in McLaren’s resurgence. Team principal Andrea Stella praised the young star, saying, “Oscar has not just won a race; he’s reignited a legacy. He embodies the spirit of McLaren’s greatest.”
With this victory, Piastri now stands shoulder to shoulder with McLaren icons—just not all of them. And for many, that distinction speaks volumes.
