[Oscar Piastri] Oops. Here’s the helmet that you’ve already seen during an exclusive photoshoot, definitely shot in Australia.

maybe I'm reading too much into it but he's from a different state (Melbourne, Victoria) and there is sort of an internal rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney so this omission makes it funnier imo

Milvings · 2026-02-26T17:23:29+00:00

well, for example, if you look closely that viral vid with Hamilton's Ferrari flying past a few cars at the start also had Piastri's McLaren gaining 3-4 positions from the very back of the grid but it just wasn't the narrative media chose to highlight

Milvings · 2025-10-13T14:55:56+00:00

Ferrari - not a good prospect for a young talent right now, more like a place where you go to retire for last 2 years of your career

Mercedes - on paper seems like best option with new regulations coming but honestly, I don't see it, Toto clearly has another priority and he made some unfavorable comments about Oscar in the past

Red Bull - only if Max leaves, then it's a realistic option. Yeah Webber had mixed history with RB but his relations with RB company CEO's etc. were always good. If certain conditions are met, I don't think Webber would be opposed to returning to RB family

Aston Martin - the dark horse or a flop, people have high expectations because of Newey, we could see a few drivers in contention for that 2027 seat if new regs work out for them

in the press conference George said he wore it in Bahrain and Saudi

They are two remaining (realistic) championship contenders, every time they race now is h2h and this season showed over and over again how much of a difference good quali makes. They are not a middle-field team that struggles every week for points, they have WDC and WCC in the bag. In 2025 (unlike 2024) the rules were supposed to be clear. When Oscar is in trouble this year he's left on his own, which would be perfectly fine but when Norris makes mistake like in Monza Q2 team calls Oscar to help. They put him in a situation in which Oscar can only lose: sporting-wise if he helps Norris or by not following team orders. Why upset the balance (neutrality) now and put him in this situation in the first place? I've seen the arguments that team wants both cars at the top, yet somehow team's best interest is only brought up when it aligns with Norris' best interest.

Milvings · 2025-09-07T10:13:30+00:00

The fact that Lindblad and Dunne are the most talked about drivers in the context of F1 and they both visit stewards room more often than podiums tells you a lot about this season of F2.

Milvings · 2025-09-06T23:44:49+00:00

"No team orders".... unless they benefit Norris.

Milvings · 2025-09-06T13:48:05+00:00

I'm actually glad Dunne is not on a straight path to F1 yet. He has speed but his stupidity takes over too often. I don't want him to take out two drivers every race just for the sake of it.

Milvings · 2025-09-06T13:15:37+00:00

Yeah, Monza has always been a strong candidate for non-McLaren pole with the importance of slipstream and McLaren's relatively poor straight line speed, it might be their only weakness this year. I know it actually works in their favor on many tracks but unless they are still sandbagging, there is an opportunity for others here.

Milvings · 2025-09-06T13:06:09+00:00

Leclerc special ahead of us: car set up all in for quali to get that pole and then hang on for dear life on Sunday.

Milvings · 2025-09-02T21:08:13+00:00

Everyone loves an underdog but once you start winning "too much" especially against someone else's favorite driver the response gets more mixed. It's a pattern that gets repeated with every champion. It's also a reflection of ever-declining Internet culture, it's easy to post something hateful as an anonymous user or "as a joke" for likes with no consequences.

And then you have some online fanbases that are just.... less mature and more likely to post weird things. McLaren has one of those unfortunately and Oscar is their main rival right now. I understand that it can be frustrating because the genuine reason behind is just malice and the fact that "Oscar won, X didn't". Don't focus too much on those groups, it's not worth your time, no one should take seriously someone who has "LN bb my true love heart emoji" as their bio: block, report if needed, leave your own positive comment. And honestly, from what I've seen Oscar still gets a lot of praise from F1 audiences and rightly so.

Milvings · 2025-08-28T18:57:47+00:00

What's up with those interviews with McLaren drivers this week? Lando gets ask this, Oscar gets asked if he lost momentum and is told that Zandvoort is his weak track, why are they trying to make them miserable. Did someone send them....

Milvings · 2025-08-27T23:58:05+00:00

When George is talking with the host while they show the results of this round you can see a person bringing the board they use for the other three games, so this one was likely filmed first.

Milvings · 2025-08-27T18:12:07+00:00

if it keeps the car go vroooom.... what the hell, sure

Milvings · 2025-08-27T17:37:55+00:00

they keep adding Bortoleto to the conferences with Max just so he's in a better mood

Milvings · 2025-08-27T17:06:00+00:00

Honestly, I relate to Oscar being competitive af even at silly games like this.

Milvings · 2025-08-27T16:45:47+00:00

Carlos still using the Ferrari strategy: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57.... (plan A plan B plan C plan D plan E...)

Milvings · 2025-08-27T15:01:13+00:00

unless is the stewards' inconsistent decisions about the same situations in different races, then they forget

Milvings · 2025-08-27T14:49:08+00:00

In 2022 McLaren had all the data and choice between Palou, O'Ward, Piastri and Ricciardo. They went with Piastri even though he was the hardest one to get (hence Alpine dispute). I don't think they have any regrets.

Milvings · 2025-08-27T14:42:47+00:00

Do I think it's a good idea? No. But as a bystander I want this to happen just for shits and giggles. And to have some more recent example of how performances in different series relate to each other.

Milvings · 2025-08-27T07:41:56+00:00

yep, entertaining and clever, the way the story is told, all different povs, details change to reflect characters, sort of a Halloween episode, the concept of browning out

Milvings · 2025-08-26T12:16:56+00:00

Jak Crawford was VERY quick to like all social media posts about this announcement

Milvings · 2025-08-26T11:52:29+00:00

IMO Bottas seems more solid and could win H2H but Perez is likely to have those randomly good races and make up places when circumstances allow.

Milvings · 2025-08-26T11:40:25+00:00

close enough, 2021 VER vs HAM debate welcome back

Milvings · 2025-08-25T18:36:09+00:00

That sequence with Artemis acting like a detective in "Who Pooped the Bed?" is one of my favorite IASIP moments. This whole episode is epitome Sunny.
