The framed lucky 5 euro on the wall really got me lmao

u/scorpio1m Niki Lauda 2d ago

What was the €5 all about?

227

u/PradaAndPunishment Alexander Albon 2d ago

A fan gave him €5 for good luck to win the race and then he actually won the race.

u/Rubeus17 Oscar Piastri 1d ago

u/maqnaetix Sir Lewis Hamilton 2d ago

He got gifted it by a fan, and he had a great race, win or podium, don’t remember 100%

u/Content-Diver-3666 Charles Leclerc 2d ago

I think it was during the lead-up to Hungarian GP

u/MormegilRS 2d ago

That’s the best thing I noticed too.

u/Xath0n Sebastian Vettel 2d ago

That's an old 5€ bill though, literally unpayable

"How to drive a tractor" lmao

u/TitanTransit Sebastian Vettel 2d ago

He really was prepping for Alpine in case the contract bamboozle didn't work out.

u/Crafty_Message_4733 Sir Jack Brabham 2d ago

I'm pretty sure that's a Clarkson's Farm joke involving him.

u/onealps 2d ago

Could you share a link or expand on the joke?

u/onealps 2d ago

First of, thank you for the link. Secondly, wha?? What's the context here? Was it for some type of promotion? Maybe for Clarkson's farm etc? Or did Oscar just hang out at Jeremy's farm and wanted to drive a tractor?

5

u/Crafty_Message_4733 Sir Jack Brabham 2d ago

I honestly don't know!

The entire F1 community bar Ferrari and Toro Rosso resides in, like, 2 counties in Southern England, and Jeremys farm is there. He knew Newey was going to Aston before the press simply because he was looking for houses near Silverstone. They all know each other.

that’s my favorite.

The Piastri multiverse

I’m disappointed to not see a Grill The Grid trophy hiding somewhere

14

u/kristal010 1d ago

McLaren put out one of these artworks but with him literally grilling in it so it is included somewhere

72

u/FermentedLaws 2d ago

"How to Drive a Tractor" book. Didn't get it at first, was thinking...the McLaren was a tractor? Then remembered the Jeremy Clarkson farm thing.

71

u/mastifftimetraveler 2d ago

Pawastri?! Spoiler alert?

6

u/wiiilda 1d ago

Nah, it's a TikTok content creator. Go check it out

6

u/6097291 Medical Car 1d ago

I thought so too, but that is PUPastri. I think this is a reference to the show dog they had at one of the GP's that did some tricks with them. https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/BAI3hS_xpS

I love Oscar Pupastri though, such a cute dog and the tricks are so clever

u/wiiilda 1d ago

My bad, I think you're right.

u/Nafc19 2d ago

I'm a fan of there being multiple Oscar Piastris

Celebrating Christmas………like a winner

u/freedfg McLaren 2d ago

But it doesn't snow in Australian Christmas.

29

u/city-of-cold Ronnie Peterson 2d ago

He’s clearly abroad because I can’t remember seeing a single house in Australia with that much wood.

7

u/PseudonymNumberThree 2d ago

Nor is there need for a blazing fire today - Brighton VIC has a moderate fire danger today and temps are expected to get to 31 degrees Celsius (via BOM)

4

u/city-of-cold Ronnie Peterson 2d ago edited 2d ago

Is there anywhere in Australia, any time of the year, that doesn’t have at least moderate fire danger?

6

u/LANE-ONE-FORM Oscar Piastri 2d ago

Low/moderate is our lowest rating but they only do the ratings in fire season which is around October to March. So half the year there wouldn't be in most of the country.

u/Baleful_Vulture 1d ago

Australian Antarctic Territory? :)

1

u/Crafty_Message_4733 Sir Jack Brabham 2d ago

Tasmania......

1

u/puttolol Oscar Piastri 2d ago

Most of Tas is moderate today, while it snowed here a little a couple days ago. Good time of the year.

1

u/litink 2d ago

There are plenty, actually!

10

u/Omarr3000 2d ago

Me trying to identify them all…”they’re all Oscar!”

32

u/shiny_brine Safety Car 2d ago

I like to think all the young, cool F1 drivers have budgeted for character artists just to post things like this once a year.

1

u/hoxxxxx 1d ago

probably included in the socials PR budget

u/flatspotting Max Verstappen 1d ago

I love the ice bath with the ducks.

u/Avpersonals McLaren 1d ago

How to drive a tractor got me 😂

2

u/museproducer 2d ago

I wonder if the wobble is a reference to the commentary from Silverstone “And Piastri gets the place wobble, wobble.”

6

u/NewStarbucksMember McLaren 2d ago

I thought it was reference to him wobbling atop of the car after the race when he won Baku?

2

u/KSC-Fan1894 2d ago

Where's Charles?

u/reboot-your-computer Fernando Alonso 2d ago

The lucky 5 euro is a great one.

u/Rentta Heikki Kovalainen 2d ago

This reminds me a little bit of those cards Bernie used to make every year

u/Dyllieaug Oscar Piastri 1d ago

I didn’t know Oscar won the UEFA Conference League

u/Successful_Smoke4921 Andretti Global 20h ago

The lack of a dog implies that pawastri is his fursona
