Mini bio
How it started.
Oscar’s first racing was with remote-control cars, before he took up karting in 2011 at age 10. He moved into single-seaters in 2016 and finished runner-up in British Formula 4 the following year.
Three titles in three years.
He won Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019, FIA Formula 3 in 2020 and FIA Formula 2 in 2021. That last title, secured with PREMA in his rookie F2 season, completed a run through three different championships.
The McLaren chapter.
Oscar made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren at the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix. His first Grand Prix wins came in Hungary and Azerbaijan in 2024, when he helped McLaren win its first Constructors’ Championship since 1998. In 2025 he won seven Grands Prix and stayed in the title fight until the Abu Dhabi finale.
Beyond race day.
His off-track projects include campaign films for Google Pixel and collaborations with Australian brands Grill’d and Quad Lock. His official social accounts give fans another way to follow him between race weekends.
