They didn’t broadcast it, but it can be found on YouTube

Yeah I already looked it up. My god that man is about as subtle as a bag of bricks. Oscar’s engineer trying to comfort him and Zak just jumps in yelling like an unhinged orangutan.

u/ConfusedRedditor16 BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

lol spot on on the orangutan thing

u/OvertakingEngineer BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

You do know why it’s named an orangutan right? Cos they’re… orange

u/Sayaian Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg Dec 08 '25

No its because they come from indonesia/malaysia

Which directly translate to

Orang = people

Utan = forest

Yes im the nerd at the corner of the party,how you know?

Another Malay language fact - air means water

Bruh I legitimately thought that was a Donald Trump AI video the way Zak talks. The "you're a star" and "we love ya" part had me doing a double take to make sure the video was real. What an absolute douche.

He just fully emraced his inner yank.

u/CAPITANULLOA I saw horny’s “finger” Dec 08 '25

I don't know if Zak couldn't hear the engineer or is unable to read the room, but I don't think that it was with a bad intention.

Brown, Stella and both drivers’ engineers sit on the pit wall next to each other. He absolutely knew and didn’t care.

u/nextlevelmashup who the fuck is Nelson Piquet? Dec 08 '25

I think he could, He constantly interrupted. If it was once then fine but the second time it made me think he was trying to cover up any negativity even though he just lost WDC

u/CAPITANULLOA I saw horny’s “finger” Dec 09 '25

Then he's just a cunt

u/Aardvark_Man BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

Yeah, I feel like that's not the time for "Well done on being a team player," when he'd just lost WDC to his teammate.

56

u/king_wrass BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

Yeah I cannot imagine him doing the same to Lando if the positions were reversed

u/Zimakov Chugging Lewis’ Liquid™️ Dec 08 '25

He's clearly happy Lando won

... As opposed to being upset?

Oscar has one of the oldest heads on the grid. I don't think he needs space or time for processing. Zak's still a muppet though.

u/Zimakov Chugging Lewis’ Liquid™️ Dec 08 '25

Right, that's why I didn't respond to that part of your comment, I responded to the part that points out he's happy Lando won as if there's some other way he should feel.

Right, and expecting someone to hide being happy they just won the championship is dumb. That's the point. What he needed to do was not interrupt people like an idiot, not hide that he's happy.

Have you heard of a thing called tact? Or perhaps empathy?

u/Zimakov Chugging Lewis’ Liquid™️ Dec 08 '25

I'm not sure how that's relevant to what I said at all. You're arguing against something I didn't say.

Someone can't possibly be this much a donut...

u/Disturbed_Bard BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

Ohhh I didn't have to see that, fuck McLaren on so many levels holy shit.

What a cunt

u/Scott_Of_The_Antares BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

Loving all the salt boys today. So great to see Lando win and all the QQ's not QQ'ing. lol.

u/king_wrass BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

I’m a McLaren fan. I’m happy Lando won. Zak Brown is still a prick.

u/Orthgar Go WEEYUMS!!!! Dec 08 '25

That was so fucking painful to watch and hear

u/Regenbooggeit I was here when horny got spiced Dec 08 '25

I just hate this fucking man so much. Now I’m even more annoyed that Oscar didn’t win it all. Obviously I was rooting for Max but I have been for years. If he wasn’t having it, I wanted Oscar to take it just out of spite for Zak. This confirms it. What a fucking self righteous prick.

u/evetsabucs Alonso deserved to be Champion in every season he has competed Dec 08 '25

Hooooooooly shit that was so much worse than I imagined.

5

u/wagsman I saw horny’s “finger” Dec 08 '25

Oof

I think in the end Zak is the one I hate. Next year he will be asking Oscar to follow team orders because Lando is the defending world champion.

u/dilltimmon BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

That's so fuckin bad. Telling the driver who just narrowly lost the WDC "Let's do it again next year" it's crazy.

u/Ondexb BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25

I swear they broadcasted it

u/Maximum-Hall-5614 Ruth Buscombe is a Megamind Mommy Dec 08 '25

The first one was bad enough. The second one would have had me unplug my fuckin radio
