Where Aussie F1 star Oscar Piastri enjoyed some downtime with his glamorous girlfriend after testing season with McLaren
F1 star Oscar Piastri was spotted this week enjoying some downtime at one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
Piastri, 24, was joined by his glamorous girlfriend Lily Zneimer as the couple blended in with the locals.
After enjoying a swim, Piastri was later spotted throwing a frisbee with friends on the sand as he looks to put behind a challenging 2025 with McLaren.
The Melbourne-raised driver finished third in the standings behind teammate Lando Norris and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen – but plenty of fans felt the Aussie was hard done by his own team.
Despite some testing times, last year wasn’t all bad for Piastri.
According to Forbes, the Aussie pocketed a whopping $41.3million bonus, in addition to his $15million salary.

The first race of the 2026 F1 season will be staged in Melbourne at Albert Park from March 6, where Piastri will be the crowd favourite
Piastri also stated he hopes McLaren will treat their drivers with ‘fairness and equality’ in the 2026 F1 season.
It follows explosive claims the team favoured British star Norris, with McLaren vehemently denying that was the case.
‘For me, he’s obviously had a great season and is a deserving champion, but he’s still Lando Norris,’ Piastri told Sky Sports F1.
‘It’s not like he’s Superman. ‘I’m (also) expecting full fairness from the (McLaren) team and equality going forward.
‘I don’t have any concerns that will change at all.
‘Clearly, Lando had a very strong season (in 2025), and ultimately did a better job.’
Norris acknowledged he needs to keep improving to keep Verstappen and Piastri at bay.
‘When I’m racing against Max, a four-time world champion, or when I’m racing against Oscar…a guy who at some point in the future will probably beat me and be a world champion, I need to keep performing,’ he told reporters.
‘I need to understand what I can do better and how I can do better.’
The first race of the 2026 F1 season will be staged in Melbourne at Albert Park from March 6.
