Nicole Piastri lends support to son's F1 RIVAL in hilarious fashion

Oscar Piastri's mum declared her support for one of his Formula 1 rivals during a recent podcast appearance.

In the hilarious discussion, Nicole Piastri revealed how she found fame on social media, talked through some of the McLaren star's career highlights, and even found time to deliver a few brutal putdowns at her son's expense.

Her comments come amidst what has been an excellent second season in F1 for the 23-year-old Australian.

Having shown glimpses of his talent during his rookie year in 2023, Piastri has become a consistent performer over the course of this campaign, producing a number of impressive performances and results alongside team-mate Lando Norris.

RB star has new fan

His maiden F1 win at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July helped secure a first one-two for McLaren since 2021, and confirmed that the British team are serious challengers to Red Bull for this year's constructors' title.

Though a drivers' title may be out of reach for now, his 2024 displays have shown that he has many of the ingredients required to be a contender for championships in the future.

While his mum remains his biggest fan, she appears to be happily throwing her support behind one of his rivals too.

Appearing on the latest episode of The Red Flags Podcast, she sported a top featuring the name of Visa Cash App RB racer Yuki Tsunoda.

The hilarious move prompted one fan to label the pair the 'coolest mum-son duo in F1'.

Nicole, Oscar’s mom, wore a Yuki shirt to her @TheRedFlags_Pod appearance 😭

This is the best son-mom duo in F1, no debate here pic.twitter.com/5BOQzWirdl
