Piastri Gets His Own Grandstand for 2026 Australian GP

McLaren Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri announced he will have his own grandstand at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, debuting next year.
Thanks to his record pace, Piastri has won six races this year, surpassing the Australian driver record since 1950, and leads by nine points.
The new structure at Albert Park Circuit, Melbourne venue, will have a grandstand on the main straight opposite the pit lane, expanding the Fangio grandstand and sectioning it in two.
On 10 September, tickets for the 2026 Australian Grand Prix go on sale, and Piastri called the news 'very surreal' with 'incredible support'.
Following Lando Norris's Silverstone tribute, Piastri joins legends like Jack Brabham, Alan Jones, Mark Webber, Daniel Ricciardo, and Arthur Waite with a grandstand at Albert Park.
