What was the €5 all about?

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.

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

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

Could you share a link or expand on the joke?

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?

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.

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

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

"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.

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

But it doesn't snow in Australian Christmas.

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

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)

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.

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

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

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

u/NewStarbucksMember McLaren 2d ago
I thought it was reference to him wobbling atop of the car after the race when he won Baku?
