Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #13 Oscar Piastri
4th in Formula 1 world championship
Top 50 Drivers of 2024
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2024. Here are the results.
Oscar Piastri enjoyed a great second F1 season and made a valuable contribution to the end of McLaren’s long wait for a constructors’ title.
With a slight race pace disadvantage to Lando Norris last year, Piastri picked up his game and claimed his first grand prix victory in Hungary – albeit with a bit of a team orders muddle.
His second win in Baku came in much more salubrious circumstances, after absorbing heavy pressure from Charles Leclerc throughout.
The Australian pressured Norris more regularly over 2024 and, if he can keep improving, might have a shot at next year’s title if McLaren remains top dog.
Can Piastri continue his improvement into the new season?
