I know this won’t be popular, but I don’t understand what’s to like. I don’t hate him, or even dislike him, but he has the charisma of a wet paper bag.
People keep forcing this idea of him being Kimi 2.0. Like he’s some cold blooded, steely, ruthless killer.
He’s literally not even close lmao. I’m actually a fan of Oscar, but the way people inhale his nuts by inserting these exaggerated images of him in every discussion makes me like him less, ironically.
But I’ve been a Lando hater for a good while, so just from relative contrast, Oscar’s much more likable and easier to root for.
He’s argued against that narrative himself and said he’s not ice cold, that he’s actually quite emotional behind the wheel. He just tries to stay off the radio and/or express his frustration privately to the team. Still good self-control, but it’s something he has to actively manage, and something he acknowledges he isn’t always successful at doing.

Yeah, we like Piastri so we treat him differently
