He’s only in his first year, but he is already proving to be a great ambassador for F1. The grid needed such a chill and witty guy.

I'm really enjoying this new Oscar. At the start of the season he seemed really nervous around cameras, but now he's much more comfortable. Love it

[@LathropLdST]

With the way he arrived into the grid, that is little surprise.

[@noxturne16]

you can see him being more comfortable in some Prema videos and i would say he’s back to his normal self 😁 he still has that dry and sarcastic humor lol

[@RefrigeratedTP]

matches his performance through the season. He's just a normal dude. Less confident when he's learning and losing and more confident when he's doing well. it's simple really

[@dylanjones5409]

If I had a nickel for every time an Australian driver who’s driven for Mclaren did a movie breakdown I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[@mapleleafkay9824]

@@richardhobbs7360LOL

[@placeholder2924]

12:03 clarification to those who don't know, this is because F1's governing body (FIA) changed the super license requirements to have a minimum age and drivers must have a valid driver's license in their respective country.

[@NeoGeo822]

And this was never addressed before?

[@3ormorecharactersmaybe5]

​@@NeoGeo822Yes. If you wanna guess the last driver who got away before this rule was changed, it was Max Verstappen.

[@multifandomnerd1328]

@@NeoGeo822 it wasn't ever a problem before, the FIA assumed that the rule of minimum points (a driver has to get a certain amount of points to be allowed in a formula 1 car, which can be acquired by scoring points in any other racing category) would be enough to keep younger, inexperienced drivers off the f1 grid. max managed to get enough points while still driving in f3. the FIA then immediately went on to change the rules. a driver now has to have the minimum amount of points, be at least 18, have a legal driver's license and a superlicense.

[@mashy0001]

​@@3ormorecharactersmaybe5 In fact, it was the sport's leadership reflecting on Verstappen's young debut which prompted them to introduce the minimum age. It wasn't that Verstappen was a problem in his first season (he was fantastic, 10/19 races in the points despite driving for Toro Rosso) but that they were worried about who else might try it.

[@gustavomarques4097]

​@@3ormorecharactersmaybe5 Salty Brit for sure😂😂

[@nivozen]

"Im sure theres other drivers that do say see ya later in their helmet." I think we would all find it hard to believe Danny Ric _doesnt_ do this 😂

[@_bvck]

I might add we have literally heard Nico Hülkenberg do this exact thing over the radio in Japan 2016. Although we did see Danny Ric finger gun the car ahead in Mexico last year before an overtake which was hilarious.

[@RubensBarrichello.]

We've seen Fernando Alonso wag his finger at Tsunoda

[@ahmadzulfadli773]

I'd love to watch a documentary of Mark Webber managing Oscar, how they met and how he actually landed oscar on Mclaren seat to win his first sprint or maybe race, I hope he will win in the future.

[@commanderwill2]

What happened? I'm not super up on F1 currently

[@302racing3]

02:18 That's because Le Mans was filmed at the 1970 event. They entered a camera car in the race and it technically finished 3rd in class. Same to a lesser extent with Grand Prix. Really F1 drivers, real F1 cars, filmed over the course of the actual F1 season.

[@bloqk16]

What surprised me about Grand Prix was Enzo's approval of the filming when you considered the movie wasn't flattering about the Ferrari organization.

[@erikagonzalez6885]

Love Oscah 💛 he’s obviously tremendously talented & proving so in his rookie year, but just his composure on & off track & his personality make him so special to watch!!! 💛

[@Hecate24]

one best new additions to the f1 grid. 1st year and he has already impressed and matured a lot as a driver

[@IbokRock811]

I looove how he said “Clearly [Mclaren] thinks I’m ok” 😂😂 so humble! One of the best rookies we’ve seen in a loooong time!!

For Speed Racer, Speed is racing the ghost of his brother Rex in that scene for the lap time record. He won the race, but Speed let his brother keep the lap record. He didn’t let his brother “win.”

[@josephguillerey4391]

Also, he still won the race in the movie, what he was racing against there was the "ghost car" of the track record set by his dead brother. which is why he didn't want to beat it, as it would erase the last trace of him.

[@dianamaioru497]

5:24 Sir Lewis Hamilton winning on 3 tyres is a memory I will never forget. It was so nerve-wracking and seeing him cross the line in first place had me jumping for joy in front of the TV!!

it's a disgrace that Ford vs Ferrari isn't being reviewed

[@chicobicalho5621]

I met Ayrton Senna personally a number of times in the 1980s, and Piastri really reminds me of him. There is something about his eyes, or his energy that very much resemble Senna to me. And I think he will be the next big thing in F1 after Verstappen, no doubt in my mind.

[@jandres0402]

I hope F1 brings back driver meetings. It would be fun. Thanks GQ for featuring Oscar! He deserved more attention but he’s really becoming everyone’s favorite because he’s really just rational and humble. It’s so refreshing! Carlos had to be petty and convinced people Oscar’s lack of experience caused their collision like??? Maybe Sir, with your experience don’t blame a rookie since you’re much more experienced and adjust. We all saw what you did! Also, Oscar saying McLaren thinks he’s ok when people also talk about him who could be a potential driver that could pair with Max in RB. I really wish all the best for him!

[@gabb136]

yeah Sainz could've done with leaving that tweet in his drafts! I really respect Oscar being so young but never having had that kind of a temper

[@multifandomnerd1328]

the reason they don't do the driver's meetings anymore is because it's the one space every race weekend where the drivers are free to speak their minds on any issues in regards to regulations, on track action, etc. the recording of those meetings made drivers afraid to speak up in case fans of different drivers took a problem with it, it just became another pr moment in the weekend

[@jandres0402]
