Humor runs in the veins of the Piastri household. Despite putting up a stoic expression, the ‘Kimi Raikkonen’ of the present grid – Oscar Piastri is quite amusing. On the other hand, Mama Piastri’s comical sense needs no introduction. Her witty social media posts have thoroughly entertained the fans. Now, it looks like another Piastri has stepped into social media. Oscar Piastri’s sister, Hattie has walked into the digital world. With a special fondness for K-pop, she shared that being on social media wasn’t on her 2024 Bingo Card.

Moreover, she shared about a massive TXT (a Korean boy band) poster in her bedroom. Hattie Piastri also revealed the upcoming videos she’d be recording/uploading on her social media. However, she exposed a little observation she made following her brother, Oscar Piastri’s F1 journey began. “Honestly, I did not realize the K-pop, F1 crossover was…” Hattie paused to express surprise, revealing, “I’ve seen photos of my brother in cute little Hello Kitty photocard holders.” Oscar Piastri’s photos in Hello Kitty photocard holders? That’s an ‘Aww’ revelation. For those who aren’t aware photocard holders are small, picture frame-like objects with shapes cut out in the middle to show the photos you put in. Now, imagine that, but Hello Kitty-themed!

Hattie Piastri is following her mum, Nicole’s footsteps into social media. And dare we say, she’s experiencing stardom in her debut itself. Moreover, her unique taste in music, specifically K-pop seems to have attracted her followers. Ultimately, Hattie chose the digital platform to answer all the curious questions. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri is taking a rest, recovering from his broken rib. The McLaren star is surely a quirky element of F1. Otherwise, who would race and win the same with a fractured bone in the body?

Knowing Oscar Piastri beyond the world of Formula 1

Before getting to know Oscar Piastri off the track, let us remind you that he is the only driver in history to win three major championships in three consecutive years. However, with the contract misunderstandings, Alpine had to miss out on having him in their F1 team. McLaren seized the opportunity- and look where they are now! If we were to pick three words to describe Piastri – quick, relaxed, and calculated would surely top the list.

Besides taking over the tracks, Oscar is a huge foodie. Speaking with F1 earlier this year, he said that he likes to around the world to taste different cuisines and enjoys Italian food. “I like Japanese, I quite like Chinese, Mexican… Australian [cuisine] is kind of just a mix of everything, just done to a very high standard. I would say that’s my three-course meal,” said the Aussie. If not racing, he would have chosen to be an astronaut: “Just go to the moon, come back, and cut out all the travel because we do enough of that as F1 drivers. Being an astronaut for a day could be quite cool!”

Oscar Piastri has a life mantra, ‘keep it simple, stupid’, and well, he lives by it. We know how minimalist the 23-year-old is, which is a rare sight for such a highly-paid profession. Every human is like an onion- every layer unfolds a personality trait; Oscar Piastri is no different. There are many sides of him yet to be seen. However, whatever ‘Osc’ has shown his fans, they’ve loved it. And let’s not forget, they keep his photos in a Hello Kitty holder! At the same time, we must also wait to see what hilarious insights Hattie gives about her brother. Maybe she could imitate Nicole to roast Oscar, who knows? Share your take on this in the comments.
