Nicole Piastri appeared on the Red Flags Podcast earlier this month, where she revealed that her daughter Hattie left her son Oscar’s race weekend midway to watch a K-pop concert. Recently, Hattie joined TikTok and responded to her mother’s claims.
She introduced herself on the platform with a video of herself (presumably) in her room, headbanging to a song, in front of a poster of a K-Pop band. This confirmed what Nicole stated on the podcast, and Hattie didn’t seem to deny it whatsoever.

In her bio, she mentioned two things – “Yes I like K-pop, and no I am not an Olympic break dancer.” She made the latter clarification because of an online joke involving the Olympics.
A break-dancer from Hungary, Szarvák Csenge, seemed to have an uncanny resemblance to Oscar, which led to funny takes on him participating in the Games in Paris. Since Hattie too, looks a lot like Oscar, she ensured to inform everyone that Csenge is not her.
What did Hattie Piastri do to Oscar Piastri last year?
Oscar took part in his first-ever Singapore GP last year, for which his whole family flew in from Australia. However, the same weekend, the race’s organizers also scheduled a P1 Harmony concert in the city, and Hattie, being a huge K-pop fan, bailed on her brother.
Nicole said, “She disappeared for hours. “There was a K-Pop band playing, so she checked out. It was miles away.”

She didn’t miss a milestone race for Oscar thankfully, as the Melbourne-born driver could only finish P7 that afternoon. But going by Nicole’s statements, she could have missed her brother’s drive even if he was in contention for a win.
Nicole clearly admits that for Hattie, K-pop is more important than Oscar’s F1 career. So surely from Hattie’s end, there were no regrets.
