Oscar Piastri swapped four wheels for two just once and traveled to the TT race on the British Isle of Man. The 2026 edition of the famous race started last Monday, and for the first time, the Australian stood on the sidelines to witness all the action. Piastri was there together with manager Mark Webber as a guest of personal sponsor and partner of the TT, Monster Energy.
The Australian had to go to some lengths to watch the race. In a video that is now going viral on social media, it can be seen how Piastri had to climb through several gardens and alleys to follow the action from someone’s front garden at the bottom of Bray Hill. “We are now at someone’s home,” said the McLaren driver in his Instagram post. “We are now going through someone’s garden. Apparently, this is the place to watch the race. I don’t know what I expected, but it definitely wasn’t this.”
