Next year, at the Melbourne Grand Prix, I will be having my own Grandstand, which is pretty surreal. It still feels weird racing at home, but I'm still like at the level when I was a kid, the cars going round the track, me being one of the cars. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, very very cool, and very special to have my own Grandstand.""I'll be on the pit straight and you should be able to see me in the garage and Grandstand. So that'll be really cool, see you all in support, and there are some merch as well. There's some bonus goodies in there for you. But yeah, had to share that, and really excited to have my own Grandstand. So thanks to everyone behind the scenes that's worked on this, and all logistics involved, and thanks to everyone's work in putting that together, and I can't wait to see you all there in March. So, there you go, good news," he concluded. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe initiative for Oscar Piastri mirrors that which teammate Lando Norris had during the British Grand Prix.
