Oscar Piastri - The underrated prodigy
Now that Oscar is leading the championship, I think about how people seem almost surprised at his success in F1. How people seem to think that he came out of nowhere. When speaking about the golden children in F1 we talk about Leclerc in Ferrari destined to bring back glory to Maranello. About George Russell, who fought his way to a spot in the top team, who had to contend against the 7 time world champion, and managed to beat him. About Lando Norris, who stuck with Mclaren through everything, who was spoken of as their savior that would bring the team back to the top, consistently beating his team mates. The talk has been about who, of these three, would take the title first? And now, it looks like it might be none of them, but instead a young new talent, Oscar Piastri. Piastri, whose junior career trumps every driver that has ever been in the sport by winning not only F3 and F2 both in his rookie season, equaling Russell and Leclerc, but also winning FRECA the previous year, making it three rookie titles in three years. Piastri, whose manager is 9 time GP winner Mark Webber, a driver whose vengeance still drives him, making sure that his chosen successor wont make the same mistakes as he did. Piastri whose entrance in to the sport is the most memorable in a while, with two teams fighting over who would get him. And all of this is just the beginning, because the moment Oscar came to f1 you could see that he had talent. But, not only talent. Also, an uncanny ability to work on every problem he encountered. After the first year, he struggled with tyre management. In his second year, any tyre problems were gone. Last year he struggled with his qualifying. This year he has been one of the best qualifiers, taking two poles only 5 races in. And, after 5 races, where he has won 3, he leads the championship. Every year he keeps improving. He is not even in his prime yet, and he is beating everyone. The other drivers should be scared of this. Oscar might not be the most outspoken or charismatic driver off the track, but when he is in that car he can perform like no other. His quiet and calm demeanor, which makes people not see him as a real threat, works in his favor in the car. I can’t help but think about what Webber once said about Oscar… “I only knew I wasn’t good enough to win championships when I met Oscar [...] he reminds me of Schumacher”. It is only now that people start to realize who the real threat is, but those of us who have been paying attention aren’t surprised, not in the least…

I really need to rant about this because it has been on my mind these past few days. I’ve been a charlos fan since the beginning of last year when I first got into f1 (and no, it’s not because of dts but because of a couple of friends who made me watch the race). I loved their dynamic on and off the track even if some people say that it’s a pr friendship. However, the spanish gp made me look at the them, their team, and especially their respective fans, differently.
First of all, I want to talk about the team and their response to the “pr disaster” of a thumbnail on their latest video.
It’s pretty disappointing to think that they first posted this without including Carlos in it despite it being his home race. There was definitely a lot of backlash that happened in the comment section before their pr team decided to change it last minute. However, it’s really sad that some of Charles’ fans are calling out those people who complained saying that they were, “crybabies.” They also mentioned how Charles wasn’t even there in the thumbnail during the 2022 monaco gp. I honestly think that this discourse makes no sense whatsoever because there is a clear distinction between the two instances. I love both, but let’s face it, one driver is the team favorite while the other is not. The thumbnail just adds even more fuel to the fire tbh which I honestly wish the pr team took into account before posting. imo, the complaints of cs fans are completely justified. Second, I want to talk about the post-race interviews where Charles and Carlos aired their thoughts about the race. I think it's understandable and warranted that Charles would get annoyed with what happened, especially since there was damage on his left front wing because of the move made by Carlos. I also get why Carlos was so disappointed because it was his home race and honestly, who wouldn't want to win during their home race? I just do not get why the fans are taking what they say in the heat of the moment to heart. Obviously, they could've worded it better but they were literally interviewed right after the race so tensions are expectedly high. Agree with one side or not, just don't take it personally. It is what is. Third, I want to talk about the fan discourse on social media. Those “extremist” fans on BOTH sides can honestly be so toxic. And I guess this may be normal for any team sport but there should be a limit to what people can say. I have seen a lot of terrible takes online, such as some cs fans wanting cl to dnf which is bad in itself.
BUT, it’s not even as bad as those fake fans that were sending d e a t h t h r e a t s and wanting the driver to be ✨ unalived ✨ just because of a petty fan war.
Like y’all (and I mean both extreme cs and cl fans) got to stop because these are REAL people, you know? They aren’t just fictional people who come back to life after the story ends smh. I honestly doubt that Charles and Carlos themselves would condone these kinds of behavior.
There were even comments such as the one below which is absolutely disgusting and frankly quite misogynistic. We all know that there are a lot of women in motorsports and there are many issues that they have faced which are frequently brought up. “Fans” like these should not be using these kinds of “jokes” to further their agenda.
Lastly, I know for a fact that team/driver wars will never end since it’s literally built into the sport. I just hope we post things with more tact next time, constructively criticize the actions of the people involved, and remember that these are real people, with real experiences, and real emotions. I also hope that charlos themselves will be able to work better together in their last year of being teammates. ♡
