Aussie F1 hopeful Oscar Piastri takes next step with Alpine

Australia’s next Formula One hopeful Oscar Piastri isn’t daunted by the task ahead of him in 2021 as he steps up into the FIA F2 Championship. Piastri, who won the FIA F3 Championship in 2020, steps into the Formula One feeder category with Prema Racing, the same outfit that took Mick Schumacher to the F2 title in 2020. Schumacher has since been signed by Haas F1 and will race in F1 this year.
