Oscar Piastri has been honoured with The Don Award at the Sport Australia Hall of Fame Awards Gala Dinner.

Held on 17 November at Crown Palladium in Melbourne, Piastri received the prestigious nod for his achievements in Formula One over the past 12 months.

Piastri, who was represented by his family at the Awards Gala Dinner while he prepares for the Lass Vegas Grand Prix, stated it was a privilege to win the award named after one of Australia’s most legendary sporting figures.

“Everyone in Australia knows exactly what he represented and the legacy he has in Australian sport, so it’s not lost on me how major this award is,” Piastri said.

“It’s always an amazing feeling to represent our country on the world stage and do well for ourselves.

“Thank you to everyone that waves the flag and cheers me on at all the Grand Prix races around the world.

“To be a recipient of The Don Award is a great honour, and I look forward to representing our country for many years to come.”

Piastri has helped McLaren to two Constructors’ Championships in 2024 and 2025 alongside teammate Lando Norris and currently sits second in the 2025 World Drivers’ Championship.

In the 2025 season alone, Piastri has won a total of seven Grand Prix, 14 podium finishes, five pole positions and 366 Championship points.

Motorsport Australia Interim CEO, Nicky Lennon, congratulated Piastri for the accomplishment.

“Oscar’s achievements over the past year have been nothing short of spectacular,” Lennon said.

“His performances in Formula One continue to inspire Australians and showcase the strength of our motorsport talent on the world stage.

“Receiving The Don Award is fitting recognition for his dedication, professionalism and humility.

The Don Award, named in recognition of inaugural Hall of Fame Inductee Sir Donald Bradman AC, is considered Australian sport’s highest honour.

Since its inception, The Don Award has been awarded 32 times prior to Piastri’s recognition.
