Oscar Piastri Spills Beans on Adorable Meet-Cute With High-School Sweetheart, Lily Zneimer

There’s a heartwarming tale that has been quietly unfolding in the background of the Formula 1 world. Away from the spotlight that often accompanies F1 drivers, Oscar Piastri, recently shared an endearing story about his relationship with his high-school sweetheart Lily Zneimer. The revelation came during a candid interview on the ‘eff won with DRS’ podcast, providing fans with a rare and intimate glimpse into the personal life of the talented young driver.

Oscar Piastri, who is quickly catching up to Lando Norris in the McLaren F1 team, unveiled a side of his life that he usually likes to keep private. During the podcast, Dax Shepard probed the young driver about his popularity with girls during high school, leading to a heartwarming reveal about how Oscar and Lily became a couple.

The interview became a window into the couple’s commitment, with Piastri acknowledging their four-and-a-half-year journey, constituting a significant portion of his young life. It was a delightful surprise for fans who usually only see the Aussie driver with the lens of a Formula 1 star.

When asked about his popularity with the girls during high school, Piastri said, “Well, I met my girlfriend at school, so.” Dax was quick to ask the specifics of when he met Lily and how young was he at the time. To this Oscar cautiously replied, “How old were we? We were… Oh, she’s gonna kill me if I get this wrong…. It’s been 4 and a half years, I am 22 now, so must be 17. Yeah, so like the 2nd last year of school, we became a couple, and we’ve been together ever since. And it’s been nice, to have someone there from the start still with me.”

Surprised by the duration of their relationship, Dax commented, “That’s a long time when you’re 22 to have been with a girl for 4 years. That’s virtually 20% of your life at this point you’ve been together. That’s an eternity at that age.“ To this, Oscar responded with a smile, “Yes, we have. It’s been fun, it’s been good. I wouldn’t change it. I am enjoying it.“

In a world where social media often serves as a public diary, Piastri and Zneimer have embraced a conscious effort to balance their privacy with shared experiences. Despite Dax Shepard’s playful complaints about the lack of personal content on Piastri’s Instagram (with Lily’s Instagram being private and inaccessible), the driver emphasized the couple’s desire to live a normal life away from the constant spotlight.

“Yeah, we keep it private and I think not secretive like some relationships are, but yeah, we keep it to ourselves. We try to be out of the spotlight and just live normal lives. She’s come to quite a few races this year, which has been nice,” explained Piastri, offering insight into their intentional choice to maintain normalcy.

However, as the 2023 season unfolded, Piastri and Lily became a regular presence at various Grand Prix events, not just showcasing their relationship on the track but also attending non-racing events such as the 2023 Goodwood Ball and Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The duo seems to have found a rhythm and managed to strike a balance between the intensity of Formula 1 and moments of leisure.
