Piastri accepts trophy: Mother Nicole offers handy advice to her son!

Max Verstappen, for example, won this prize in 2016 for his 2015 season performance. After Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo, Piastri is the third Australian to receive the award. Nicole Piastri, Oscar's mother, reacted proudly via X.

The Formula 1 driver himself was certainly happy with the prize he received prior to the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix race weekend in Imola. “Honoured to receive the Lorenzo Bandini Trophy. Grazie a tutti!” the driver wrote on X, thanking everyone. His mother's reaction stood out with thousands of likes. Nicole Piastri gave her son practical, yet loving advice.

“Perhaps it's time to order another trophy cabinet, Osc...,” she wrote in response to the photos Oscar posted on his X-account. Nicole Piastri has become a true internet personality within the Formula 1 world, especially thanks to her posts on X. Recently, she gave her candid opinion when Oscar was battling Max Verstappen on the track. At that time, she wished her son had been more careful. “That was really terrifying. But this is what he does and what he continues to do,” she said then.

The award Piastri received in Italy was won last year by George Russell, and the year before that by Lando Norris. Teams can also receive this distinction. In 2017, Ferrari won the award, and two years before that Mercedes was able to accept the trophy.
