Now the Iceman has retired, has Oscar Piastri established himself as Formula 1's new 'Iceboy'? It certainly seems that way.
Oscar Piastri has been mightily impressive in his rookie season at McLaren, not unlike the Iceman in his first season with the team.
Yet through it all, he tackles it with a dry sense of humour, some glib radio messages in big moments and a turn of speed that is making an ever-increasing number of people sit up and take notice – almost like it’s exactly what he’s meant to be doing, and stuff what anyone else thinks.
While more open than the Finn, in that he offers more than a syllable at a time while being interviewed, he doesn’t give too much away, quite quiet yet purposeful in what he wants to say, not often the sort to create too many headlines with what he comes out with. No matter what anyone says, coming in to replace such a popular driver at a team in such circumstances cannot be easy, but even so, he did not let it get to him – and it takes a certain kind of temperament to be able to deal with any lingering negativity.
