But hey, who can blame a mom for being a touch concerned when her son’s involved in the world’s fastest sport?

Our Aussie champ outshone even teammate Lando Norris and trailed only the formidable Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Piastri’s exciting yet humble admission, “It’ll be cool because there’s only one car I have to overtake,” has left fans at the edge of their seats.

Following the exciting news of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri securing a stellar front-row start for the Japanese Grand Prix, his mother, Nicole Piastri, humorously tweeted, “Anyone got a cheap flight to Japan?”

While Mama Piastri might be cheekily looking for a last-minute flight deal, F1 fans worldwide are geared up for what promises to be a riveting race. Whether Piastri can give Verstappen a run for his money or not, one thing’s for certain: The Japanese Grand Prix is bound to be one memorable event!

Red Bull soars and Oscar Piastri shines at the Japanese GP Qualifying

After Red Bull’s recent hiccup in Singapore, Max Verstappen has made a roaring comeback to dominate the qualifying session of the Japanese Grand Prix. Spoiler alert: Singapore was just a blip on the radar. This Saturday at Suzuka, it was the Max show. From the get-go, Verstappen was head and shoulders above the competition, delivering a whopping 1’28.877″ on his final lap, leaving the competition nearly six-tenths in his rearview mirror.

But if Max was the star, Oscar Piastri was the revelation! The McLaren rookie made quite an impression, securing the second spot on the grid, just behind Verstappen. And let’s just say, if there were rookie points, Piastri would be racking them up, especially considering this is his debut race at Suzuka. Right behind him, it’s the ever-consistent Lando Norris in third, and Red Bull’s other knight, Sergio Perez, lagged a bit in fifth.
