Oscar Piastri reveals the crazy amount of flights that has to catch every year while opening over his life before the F1 Grand Prix of Australia

While the Formula 1 season prepares for the opening race in Albert Park this weekend, Oscar Piestri Australian is not only preparing to fight for the championship, but also another year of amazing trip.

Piastri, who begins his third season with McLaren, has quickly established himself as one of the brightest talents of Formula 1 since he debuted in 2023.

Winning two GP during its impressive debut season, including a memorable victory in Hungary, played a key role in the victory of the McLaren Historic Construction Championship last year.

The 23 -year -old, who gave him the tip to become the first Australian to claim the driver's championship from Alan Jones in 1980, has revealed the amazing amount of flights he takes every year.

“Too many,” he said News Corp.

'We have 24 races, so they are at least 48 flights. And then you are flying to the SIM (simulator), almost before each race. So I would probably say that double: about 100.

AUSSIE F1 STAR says that he is probably only sleeping in his own bed 100 nights per year

'Much of European things is private, but many of the fly roads are commercial. Many of the drivers live in Monaco, so we all try to go together just to make it a bit more logistically efficient. ''

And with all the trip, Piastri does not sleep in his own bed very often.

“I think last season we added it and they were perhaps 100 (nights),” he said.

'So they are just over three months. So it's not much. And the longest period you have at once is a full week if you are lucky.

“But normally if you can get three or four days, that's a decent period.”

For a young driver who pursues his first title, the physical toll is immense. Jet Lag, time zone shifts and long -distance flights are part of the concert.

Piastri ensures that he arrives at the gym as often as he can.

“When you reach F1, you have assisted direction, but the forces G are out of the scale, so your neck receives a massive beating and obviously is not a very conventional muscle to train,” he explained.

'It still needs strength, because its core or its lower back requires a bit of beating.

'So I work in Cardio and the gym, depending on the week. If it is a race week in Europe, for example, we will usually arrive at the race, either on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning, so I would make a lighter recovery day on Monday and then a complete training day.

'If there are no careers, then you train all the time. But when you go to Asia or you go to the Americas, with all the trips and jet delay, you only enter what you can when you have the opportunity.
