The Austrian Grand Prix according to social
Apex predators, double-stack stops, and furniture requests: The best of social from Spielberg
Well, that was some weekend, wasn’t it? We came away from the Austrian Grand Prix with a lot to talk about, but there’s also plenty that we probably shouldn’t speak about.
We’ve learned over our many, many years in Formula 1 to always focus on the positives, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing as we head towards this weekend’s upcoming British Grand Prix.
Those positives include Oscar’s remarkable charge from seventh to second and the huge chunk of points we picked up over the weekend, including our double podium in the Sprint. There’s also the fact we looked pretty nifty in all of the sessions. So, for all of our frustrations at various points in Austria, there’s a strong feel-good factor around the camp heading into the final race of this triple header.
As always, we’ve started our week off by going back through your social media reactions from the weekend and selected our favourites. Here’s what you made of the Austrian Grand Prix.
That’s what we meant by incognito. 🕵️♀️
what happened to his other arm?

Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices.
Must be cold and wet this week for the Aussie isn’t happy and cant be himself in shorts and T-shirt like last weekend, has to settle for a hoodie and jeans

Oscar knows.
Love Oscar's positive attitude & how he & his crew bounced back from Spain. He's right, we can have a go! 🧡👊

Why have just one formation lap when you can have two?
Take 2 🤣🤣

Our championship charge continues, but we’re just getting started.
Great haul of points out scoring the other teams so a positive result for the team.

seriously who can stop us
— lucie ⭐️ (@thewaylougoess) June 29, 2024
Anyone got a longer seat? We keep falling off the edge of ours. 🪑
Would love to know the heart rates of the team when Lando and Oscar were battling with Max and then each other.

Another Qualifying session, anyone?
Waiting for green

Quick off the mark! What a move from Oscar on Perez, and what a start to the race. Oscar isn't hanging about.
SO PROUD OF HIM

We all did, @ExileftNini! It was a little hard to concentrate.

Double-stack pit stop, say what? You outdid yourself this time team.

Another place down, Oscar was on a mission.
MY GOAT

A heartbreaking end to the Austrian Grand Prix for Lando, who was fighting for the lead before colliding with Verstappen. 💔
literally no words my heart is so broken right now
— A - LN4 MIAMI ‘24 RACE WINNER🏆❤️ (@ahseya_x) June 30, 2024
Thankfully, Oscar was in a position to capitalise, pouncing on Sainz for second, following Lando and Verstappen’s collision.
Let’s go Oscar!!!!!!

Everyone knows the first rule of the Austrian Grand Prix: You don’t speak about track limits.
4th GP podium. Nice trophy (and reminder of the track limits 😉) pic.twitter.com/ugPX9SYwky
— Oscar Piastri (@OscarPiastri) June 30, 2024
We’re assuming ‘O’ is short to ‘Ohh wow’? Or is it Oscar? It’s probably Oscar.
He puts the O in Overtake
