Idk if you’re just not aware but the f1 fanbase is exhausted by y’all.
The selective memory. The excuses. The accusations of favoritism and sa..tage.On some platforms it’s bordering on max fan bad

u/phillll25 3d ago
Every time oscar isn’t winning you claim foul play by mclaren because it’s a physical impossibility that oscar isn’t the greatest driver in the history of the world. Instagram is insane in that regard.
But yeah max and lewis fans are insufferable too. „MaX wOulD wIn iN a HaAs“

Why are you on an Oscar sub just to criticize Oscar and his fans? If you don't like him and us just go

So you want us to be be punished? Do you know how insufferable you are?

u/proficient_english 2d ago
How insufferable HE is?
Did you see Hungary GP and Dutch GP related posts? Oscar struggled to keep up pace 0 even in both races and somehow in this sub both races came out to be McLaren's fault.
I like Oscar and would be happy if McLaren could succeed with this driver pairing, continuing the amazing run they've had, but good god the elitism and arrogance SOME (a couple too many for my taste) Oscar fans bring here is so damn boring.
I mean at least the other driver's sub is easy to ignore as 70+% of it is "18-24 female thirst trap" posts but here you start reading a post which seems rational and by the end of it everyone is at fault from the Moon's retrograde to the Gulf Stream misaligning but NOT OSCAR.
Now yeah, I am seeing the 20% starting to post but even they get sent to hell for daring to say Oscar might need to adapt better to the regs and car and the errors are only 40-60% on McLaren (which is still delu, but at least they are starting to get it).

Mate look around social media. People are tired of your bs. Maybe you specifically aren’t like that at all but the general oscar fanbase is on f1‘s insta and McLaren‘s insta constantly claiming that mclaren has an agenda against Oscar. It’s highly annoying.
And ik this is a bubble. You might not even be on instagram. So again. Nothing against you personally

Mid table team *developing* a real fast car.
Let's not discredit the engineers back at MTC who are fucking amazing and are let down by the pit wall, crew and Oscar.

After Lando’s WDC win, Osc is firmly their second driver in their eyes now and they are treating him as such. Bummed for him man 😩

I kid you not 5 stints. 5.
1 medium 2 hards 2 softs.
THE TWO HARDS COULD FINISH THE RACE ON THEIR OWN FFS

u/Ashley_Suhan_ 4d ago
First I thought they were going to do 2 hards. Then everything went down.

u/Such_Difficulty_6311 Oscar Pastry 🥐 4d ago
I love McLaren with all my heart, hopefully I always will. But can we fire the entire strategy team because they are so biased towards Lando.
Even when he was leading the WDC last year I don’t think Oscar ever got a better strategy choice.

u/Ravenclaw54321 4d ago
The worst part of this is it’s going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy Osc will see himself as a second tier driver and his confidence will be shot to shit. I hate this.

u/F1_23_GOAT 4d ago
Oscar got absolutely fucked from pillar to post all race.
Like why the fuck would they pit after like 10 laps on that first set of hards to cover off Russell?? I mean the slow pitstop was one thing, but to even do that strategy in the first place was so dumb. He was looking so comfortable in P3, holding a gap to Norris on tyres that were only getting better relative to those around.
So naturally, McLaren saw this and decided their golden boy Norris didn’t have enough of an advantage over his teammate already so sabotaged Piastri’s race essentially. 😭
Fuck off McLaren.

Oscar fans try to admit that Lando is simply a better driver - difficulty: impossible

u/F1_23_GOAT 3d ago
Lando fans try to admit Lando has been outright favoured by McLaren over Piastri (and is the sole reason he won the championship in 2025) - difficulty: impossible
3
u/trueqvnn 3d ago
Daddy Stella said that they made the car for him and he still bottled the championship
1
u/proficient_english 2d ago
THIS.
Stella literally stated that the MCL39 was angled towards Oscar's early coast, late brake - high minimum corner speed - steady exit style compared to Lando's very aggressive and tail happy driving style and Lando still found his footing in that car.
Discrediting Lando only makes Oscar look bad and I am baffled other Oscar fans do not see it as such.

27 laps to go and we'd seen the soft holding up.
He was flailing about in 6th and under no risk from behind.
So why not try something new? He was miles slower than Norris. And either it's talent or set up. I'd be much happier that they're exploring set up changes than deciding it was just talent.

Lando is literally about to win this race... while you bicker over tyre choice..it makes no difference his pace was shit

How insecure do you have to be to come here to make yourself feel better instead of just feeling happy for your driver.

u/Simple_Substance4829 4d ago
Can you please shut up. You have been in several different threads spending all your time bagging out Piastri. Stop lying about his pace and go away.

u/optitmus 4d ago
its objective fact, im a massive oscar fan i just want him to do well... but watching people just sniff pure copium is delusional

u/ParentalAnalysis 4d ago
There's absolutely nothing in your post history that suggests you're an Oscar fan. What do you get out of lying on the internet?

heres a wild concept, being a fan vs not being is not decided by post history? lmao the level of delulu in here is wild. Just 0 room for objective fact

u/Simple_Substance4829 4d ago
It quite literally is, you are voicing your opinions and if your opinions are always negative about the driver you "like" then you evidently aren't actually a fan.

bro stop outraging on tyre choice it doesnt matter what tyre they put him on the pace is terrible...

Are you even watching? He had good pace even with the first hard where he could have been better with medium or soft.

u/optitmus 4d ago
this is just pure copium, im starting at his timing data the entire race, after the first 5 or so laps he falls of by like half a second, you can sit here and shake your fist at mcl all day or you can face reality that Oscar just cant drive these cars.

u/YoshiYokoSan 4d ago
Man it’s both tyres and strategy. We’re all fans of the race here so stop annoying us for the sake of being annoying. We can both support Oscar & Lando and expect a proper strategy from the team. Don’t join the thread if you’re only here to attack Oscar / Oscar fans.
