Oscar Piastri Aims Dig at McLaren's Tactics While Stood Next to Lando Norris

Oscar Piastri made a cheeky dig at McLaren's tactics this year while standing next to teammate Lando Norris.

The 2025 Formula One season was highly-successful for McLaren as they won the Constructors' Championship while star driver Lando Norris win the Drivers' Championship.

It marks the first time that the Formula One team have retained the Constructors trophy since the 1990 and 1991 seasons, while Norris is the first McLaren driver to win the title since Lewis Hamilton in 2008.

Since the win, McLaren and Norris have been celebrating their successes, including during a team event held last weekend.

And while at this event, Piastri cleverly aimed a dig at his own team and their tactics during one controversial race this season.

For most of the 2025 season, it was actually Piastri who led the Drivers' Championship standings after the Australian enjoyed an impressive start to the season.

However, Piastri suddenly dropped in form, allowing McLaren teammate Norris to overtake him in the standings and eventually go on to win the title.

Perhaps the most damaging moment of the season for both drivers was the Las Vegas Grand Prix as, despite finishing second and fourth, they each too home zero points after being disqualified post-race due to excessive skid block wear.

But it appears that Piastri clearly isn't too bothered about the disqualification as he decided to make light of it while speaking at McLaren's recent event.

Speaking at the event, he said: "This year's been pretty tiring at points, it's worn us pretty thin... but not quite as thin as our planks in Las Vegas! We can laugh about it now!"

Throughout the season, many Formula One fans accused McLaren of favouring Norris over Piastri as part of their now infamous 'Papaya Rules.'

But it appears that the 24-year-old holds no ill will towards his team or Norris, as he was seen applauding Norris for his win as he was presented with the trophy during the recent FIA gala.

Despite this, rumours continue to circulate regarding his future, with reports suggesting that Piastri could leave as soon as next year with the likes of Red Bull and Aston Martin linked.
