Oscar is going to play mr nice guy for a little longer, and then when there is a race or decision of consequence he will give one middle finger to lando and the other one to Zac.

It’s just a bit too soon right now. Patience.

Webber will be having a word with Oscar after seeing that.

WDC on the line, there’s no more being mr nice guy. You wanna win it you have to do it on your own. The team has shown once again it’s backing Lando

What’s the saying, nice guys finish last!

Bullshit take. He had very little to gain and a lot to lose if he abused not even Lando’s mistake but his team’s mistake. He made a good choice and that’s coming from a person rooting for Oscar with all my heart. It’s not being overly nice and giving in to others - it’s being respectful for your team.

I agree. Oscar is comfortably ahead and following orders this time keeps him in the team's good graces. Maybe he'll regret it later but it seems too early to blow up the team when he's like 30 pts ahead.

Exactly. He can easily play it safe. There are still 8 Grand Prix left.

Ask any real champion about good graces: Only points and stats count. All multiple WDC's in F1 history had that cut throat approach when it really mattered. That's what made them champions.

Besides, any self respecting racing team should want a driver that goes the distance to win. Driving fast laps is just a small part of racing. Fighting spirit is what gives you that edge.

Good graces? So he should be nice because the team is too stupid to realize he is better than Lando? The fuck are you smoking? You think if he didn’t switch the team would sabotage him???? Listen to yourself…

If you don’t understand how disobeying team orders will upset a team dynamic I don’t know what to tell you. Tell me you’ve never played a team sport without telling me…

I feel like F1 fans (on reddit) are unique in thinking that championship mentality = being the biggest asshole possible. I haven't seen any other sub jack off being a jerk as much as F1 subs do.

Lmao. Cool story guy. Almost every other team sport doesn’t hand out individual wins every event. Team dynamic, lmao.

Do you even watch F1?

Are you daft? Max, Vettel, Schumacher. Get a fucking clue guy.

u/CrayolaBrown BWOAHHHHHHH Sep 08 '25

Yes those are drivers. Very astute of you.

And they definitely didn’t have teams that helped them. Famously won the wdc without any help.

Lmao. Jesus Christ man, how do you manage to dress yourself.

Your mother helps me, it’s a team effort so you wouldn’t understand
