Transcripts

Oscar pastry versus Lando no chances

into turn one one of the best teammate

pairings in Formula 1 history and a

topic a lot of people love to discuss

and it's something I'm going to love to

talk about today because this is the

most even matchup I think we've ever

seen on one hand we have Lando Norris

multiple time race winner got hit in the

face by Daniel Ricardo and is incapable

of growing pubes

right pubes yet men's had a good

mustache it might be that I I'm I'm not

able to grow this if you have

and on the other Corner Oscar pastri

also a multiple time race winner comes

from kangaroo land and is shala's

adopted son if that isn't the closest

matchup on the grid right now I don't

know what else to tell you but what I do

know what to tell you is that these two

are not just the closest matchup on the

grid but most importantly the most

action packed because holy the

entertainment they have provided Us in

the 2024 season has been a blessing that

I even received news that Oscar piastri

and Lon Norris have both been

hospitalized recently for back pain

after carrying 70% of the season a side

by side and Oscar pastri is going all

the way around the outside to take the

lead with a B now obviously this isn't a

comparison video on who's actually the

better driver I don't want the comment

section to turn into World War Z

the point is these two are so closely

matched that it's just unfair to compare

them it's like comparing Michael

schumacker to Erton Senna mikah heiken

and to Kim reiken Logan Sergeant to

Nicholas latifi you just can't tell so

instead I'm going to focus on the

shows that Oscar and Lando have been

providing us this season and the reason

why they're so entertaining is because

like I said this is one of the closest

matchups we've ever seen but obviously

it wasn't always one back in 2023 Oscar

was not on the level of Lando for the

majority of races and a lot of people

pretty much laughed whenever his fans

started comparing him to Lando calling

Oscar overrated which is the most brain

dead thing I've ever heard but oh boy

how the turntables in 2024 McLaren

finally gets the car they need to win

both championships and this time both

Lando and Oscar shine equally during the

start of the Season Lando pops off gets

podiums in Australia and China then he

gets his first win in Miami thanks to

Kevin Magnus hitting the World Trade

Center making Lando a favorite among

McLaren fans as he became one of the

very few drivers able to make Max with

stpp and look beatable but he

immediately loses that favoritism as

fast as he loses his positions after lap

one as he did exactly that in Hungary in

the race Lando bottles the start and as

a result Oscar takes the lead with a

brilliant Drive securing what's seems to

be a smooth

victory until McLaren up the

strategy mid- race putting Lando ahead

of Oscar so then Lando had to give the

lead back forever putting a bad taste to

Oscar's first win like bro did not even

celebrate after that amazing job McLaren

your driver looked more happy to receive

the award for Grill the grid than an

actual race

trophy step F win thank you everyone

thank you very much thanks I'm very

happy with it it's uh actually heavier

than the F1 trophies I've won and let me

tell you I am very happy about it I

swear apart from Ferrari McLaren has got

to be the shittiest non shittiest team

I've ever seen But fast forward to

Belgium this time Oscar truly pops off

after Lando loses two positions in the

start who would have

guessed Oscar pulls off an Aon Senna

level performance he overtakes George

fumble and Sergio purz on the Straits

pulls a beautiful outside overtake on

Chuck L Clair and finishes the race in

P2 after George Russell got crucified by

the FIA so then the favorite leaned

towards oscar but jumping to the dust

Grand Prix Lando pops off even harder he

fumbles the race start again but

overtakes Max vapen rb20 which has

recently turned into a tractor thanks to

Sergio Perez draining Red Bull's entire

development budget with his tactical

Maneuvers so then Lando wins the race by

22 seconds every Red Bull fan was crying

and McLaren fans were back to favoring

Lando

Norris now as you can tell by now the

driver favoritism in Mclaren has been

going back and forth like people

watching a tennis

match and it's because both Oscar and

Lando have pulled off amazing

performances that it's so hard to choose

who is the better driver and honestly I

don't think we have to choose you know

as your professional F1 yapper I have to

say that we can like both of these

drivers equally although I do like Oscar

more though but um shoot man sorry guys

that was just oh man the voice is in my

head oh they got to me but regardless

going back to McLaren being the

shittiest non- shittiest team at the

same time this is because they have the

fastest car but they make the stupidest

strategy calls and the reason why is not

just because they're actually just

stupid but mainly because

McLaren didn't know which driver to

prioritize is it Oscar Orlando which has

led to people constantly debating online

on who should be prioritized and how the

team has to make a decision really soon

but despite the pressure Zack Brown kept

on saying nah we're going to do our own

thing now a lot of people see this as a

bad thing but honestly I think it's

amazing I cannot be the only person here

that wants to see Oscar and Lando duke

it out let's skill ultimately be the

decision maker I know that's probably

bad for the driver's Championship but

let's be real guys it would be so

entertaining we'll either get

Lando and Oscar fighting for a win in a

fierce battle which would be exciting

and cool or they get into a double dnf

which would be sad but also cool but

after Lando's dominant win in xan vorts

a lot of people were still pushing for

Lando to be prioritized McLaren still

not actively doing all they can to help

Lando secure the wedc is actually insane

McLaren needs to start prioritizing

Lando and stop up McLaren

ignoring Lando's chances at the driver's

Championship is not the mentality that a

top field team should have and as F1

arrived in Monza all I got to say is

that Oscar took those personally as mlar

a side by side and Oscar P's going oh

the way around the outside to take the

lead with a bold and Brilliant move

Lando still can't that could be move of

the Season that was extraordinary from

PI Street for McLaren and it toost

Norris another position the Big L at

slide through goes lir Mr pastry pulled

off an Oscar worthy overtake on Lando

going down the inside in turn four

catching him off guard and also allowing

Charles to overtake him in the process

holy Monza was honestly such a

cluster sha Clair won the race by

using a Ferrari strategy technique

called it we ball going with a

One-Stop strategy until his were butt

booty ass naked Oscar finished the race

unhappy with P2 but finished ahead of

Lando in P3 Mercedes was nowhere to be

seen and Red Bull was in the I

guess Toto was right the entire time car

you've got a problem change your

car then you change your car because cze

has been saying the car is and

your driver has been going off speak to

my

drivers has been saying the car is Fu

but the real highlight of the race was

mcclaren's papay rules now this was

something the team kept on saying on the

radio every time Oscar and Lando would

be of penis touching distance from each

other and if you don't know what it

means McLaren's papaya rules is

essentially don't Ram your teammates

with the nose of your car or in

other words don't be Red Bull Ferrari

and especially Mercedes And as I've said

before I like this rule you know it's

entertaining and in Monza the drivers

followed it perfectly giving us hard but

fair racing but unfortunately despite

favoritism leaning towards Oscar again

after Monza Lando was still closer to

Max in the championship so then people

really started pushing McLaren to

prioritize him Nico rosberg interrogated

Zack Brown after the race isn't it time

to introduce a little bit of Team orders

let's call it that way will buckon also

critiqued the team how are you not

prioritizing the guy who's going to make

the most out of this how do you not even

swap them on the last lap and die hard

Lando fans on Twitter went ape on

pastri going Oscar almost cost McLaren a

double dnf in Monza twice now Lando

saved him both times did did you even

watch the race that was a clean

move you know what's crazy is this is

good bro this is good but why not put

this energy into a job or something like

look I'm sorry that Oscar out drove

Lando in that race sometimes Lando out

drives Oscar as well it happens these

two are both very talented drivers but

don't slam Oscar for doing his job I

don't know if you guys have heard the

quote yet as well but McLaren wants

Oscar to be Bess but Lando isn't

Hamilton whoever made that you cooked so

hard and even if Lando is Oscar isn't

going to be Bas either especially since

since Mark Weber is his manager and

everyone knows just how much he's been

through as a second driver but as F1

went to backu McLaren folded to the

pressure and finally set priority on

Lando this is probably the dumbest move

I've ever seen because if they were

going to commit to this anyway it should

have happened like five races ago but

whatever at least they now have a driver

to prioritize and I'm pretty sure Lando

fans are creaming all over the place but

they had to zip up their pants faster

than usual because in qualifying right

after McLaren says they're going to

prioritize Lando he fails to get out of

q1 this cannot be real right in the

final sector of Lando's lap he gets a

yellow flag forcing him to bail out and

so he ended qualifying in p7 while his

teammate qualified to the front row I

swear at that moment I was just mentally

preparing myself to see McLaren tell

Oscar to do

[Music]

this but thankfully McLaren isn't that

stupid so then as the lights go out in

backu Oscar goes insane he does not

bottle the start pulls off an amazing

inside overtake on Charles from further

back than Pier gle's hairline and he

stuck it cleanly and just before you

think that was it Oscar wasn't the only

driver with genius moves Carlos SS

pulled off the Pro Gamer move in history

which looked like this nearly second for

Perez but it's caros signs who gets by

and this one's not over yet he and

Sergio perz crashed in the ending stages

of the Grand Prix and although this

wasn't exactly Carlos's fault I still

think this was a genius moveed by him

not only did he secure Charles's Podium

but he also got his future team Williams

10 points so they can have a bigger

budget for next year sometimes my genius

is it's almost frightening oh and Oliver

bman scored a point for H and colapinto

scored more points in that race than

Logan Sergeant's entire career enough

said though enough has not been said for

Sergio Perez Red Bull is already in the

gutter and then this happens the onetime

czecho finally puts up a respectable

drive and speaking about other drivers

Stoll was also the usual disappointment

Before the Race he whs about the car

this is not a

car this is not a car right now then he

treats his Engineers like exit one

two breaking turn three a little bit as

well but you are the

same and in the first lap of the race he

dive bombs Yuki sonoda like an idiot but

regardless Oscar wins the race and I got

to say his celebration goes hard and

Lando did a solid recovery drive as well

finishing in P4 but this race has proved

one thing Oscar piastri is a

unit his win in backu solidified the

fact that he's a worthy competitor to

Lando and not just that he's also the

driver to score the most points in the

past 10 races before backu Oscar piastri

is world champion material mark my words

and after this race a lot of people saw

it too and started saying that McLaren

probably should let Oscar have equal

chances to the championship however some

people were disagreeing with that

particularly a lot of F1 journalists who

have been asking for Lando to get

priority since day one and what I have

to say to these guys is sure let's be

generous and say that Lando is Hamilton

after this race since you guys want

Oscar to be Bas right well even if Lando

is Lewis Oscar isn't going to be valy

because I'm sorry guys but you got

rosberg instead if Lando wants to win he

has to earn it like his win in xanor

that was impressive as and Oscar

has proved that he can be just as good

as him so McLaren blocking Oscar

with Team orders would be such a huge

waste of talent and entertainment but in

other news despite Lando getting a lot

of love and favoritism he has been hated

as well and it mostly originated from

these three Clips got

fast you aast car years ago years

[Music]

ago it's I wasn't complaining I

just

car

uhhuh pretty lovely huh very confident

to throw out a simply lovely after the

race I know uh as much as their

friends I know the competitive Maxes

this is overtaking everyone it's still a

VSC right so I don't know if it matters

or not now a lot of these things don't

exactly matter that much like Lando

saying Max's iconic line simply lovely

after winning which Daniel says is a big

deal but then again I'm pretty sure Max

doesn't give a flying the cool down

room in hungry though is the one that

makes the most sense to me Lando was

obviously pissed about giving the

position back to Oscar but he did not

have to redirect his anger towards Lewis

so a lot of people say this is a sign

for Lando to get a grip tone down his

arrogance and start being more humble

but in my opinion I just think this is a

sign for Lando to go on his villain AR

if people hate you in a sport doubling

down is the best thing you could do Max

vapen was pretty much treated like a

villain by everyone CU for the third

year

running it is Max VPP to a few booze I'm

afraid to say but he just didn't give

two shits and that's what made me love

him even more just don't get carried

away to land stroll levels though Lando

that's how you lose your entire fan base

so in conclusion Oscar pastry is a

talented son of a Lando needs to

go on a villain Arc McLaren have stepped

up but they clearly don't know what

they're doing they might be the most

brain dead Constructor winners and the

hate controversy and drama has been

crazy that drive to survive producers

are probably covered in their own jiz

also like usual don't forget to hop on

the patreon for more exclusive content

and Early Access videos you know how it

is and finally just in case you guys

forgot L stroll is a thank you so

much for watching
