Why Oscar Piastri didn't get to pit on Lap 1 after front-wing damage: Oscar: "I've got damage" Tom: "We are looking" [gets overtaken by the whole grid]

Oscar was 14 seconds behind the Aston Martins by the end of Lap 2 before he even pitted to get a new front wing.

These are the best footage I could find of the Piastri-Lawson contact that caused this damage in the first place. Though, this does not really clarify anything.

Oscar finishes in P7 for the 2026 Silverstone Sprint

Oscar qualified P7 and did his sprint on a new set of mediums.

Lando was P3 and finished almost 8 seconds ahead of him (granted Oscar had dirty air his entire race but still...)

Oscar: "It's nice to know some people away from F1 know who I am and wanted to name me after a wasp" Lando: "Bit harsh, because no one really likes wasps"

The wasp in question is a 98 million year extinct species called Gwesped Piastrii discovered by Corentin Jouault from the University of Oxford, Di-Ying Huang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, and Celso O. Azevedo from the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.

I am pretty sure Oscar meant to say "wanted to name a wasp after me" instead of "wanted to name me after a wasp"

This clip is taken from Lando and Oscar's interview with "Man About the Town" magazine. You can watch the full interview here

[oscarpiastri] Launching three helmets in one pic was not easy

He partnered with artists @davidnott, @j.demsky, @nickthomm and google gemini to create these! Each artist used their individualistic artistic style to come up with these designs.

FP1 results + some Friday tidbits

Oscar was P5, +0.887s off Hamilton in P1. He used a set of hards and a set of soft tyres for this practice.

Oscar spun through Becketts on his 13 lap old hards while doing his long runs. He took too much kerb but kept it out of the barriers and no damage to the car.

He is using the helmet designed by J. Demsky today. I must say it matches the McLaren special livery very well.

Oscar also seems to have turned into the paddock's resident memelord (and Darth Vader) this weekend.
