“Oscar Wanted to Slap Lando”: Norris Disrespecting Piastri’s GF Leaves Papaya Army Cooking Rift Theories

The Monza circuit was a battleground for two of McLaren’s finest. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri’s on-track clash took the headlines after the Italian GP. With Piastri entering with cold tires post a pit stop, he met Norris at the first chicane, resulting in a controversial clip. A McLaren intra-team conflict was evident, but it wasn’t limited to just racing actions. One such incident before the Italian GP between Norris and Piastri has the entire Papaya Army – buzzing with theories and interpretations. Why? Because Lando Norris made an offhand comment about Piastri’s girlfriend, and it wasn’t just about racing.

During a seemingly lighthearted game of “green or red flag,” the conversation unexpectedly delved into the topic of dietary choices. When posed with the term “pescatarian”, Norris inquired, “What’s a pescatarian?” Piastri, offering a response grounded in personal connection, mentioned, “Fish only, right? My girlfriend’s pescatarian.” This took a peculiar turn when Norris in an abrupt departure from the playful tone of the game, remarked, “They shouldn’t be here.”

A visibly startled Piastri retorted, “Wow! Wow! I’ll pass it on to my girlfriend.” Not letting the matter rest, Norris added, “Oh, she’s a..? Your girlfriend’s lovely, mate, but it’s time to move on.” While seafood is a staple for pescatarians, it’s clear that it’s not on the menu for Lando. The sudden shift not only caught Piastri off guard but also ignited discussions among fans.

Every driver brings not only their unique driving style but also their personal quirks and preferences. One such interesting tidbit about Lando Norris is his aversion to fish. While many enjoy the flavors of the deep, Lando has expressed a clear dislike for seafood, a fact some of his ardent followers might chuckle about.

On the flip side of dietary preferences, there’s a specific group known as pescatarians. These individuals consciously choose a diet enriched with fish and sometimes other forms of seafood, excluding other meats. The reasons behind such a choice can vary from health benefits to environmental concerns or simply personal taste. It’s a delightful contrast: while some savor the bounty of the sea, our F1 star Lando steers clear of it, much like he masterfully avoids mishaps on the racetrack.

Fan theories: Are we seeing a McLaren rift?

Where every word and gesture is dissected under the intense gaze of millions of fans, any deviation from the script can lead to wild interpretations. Such was the case with Norris and Piastri’s interaction. Fans and enthusiasts were quick to pick up on the tone and implications, leading to a whirlwind of theories. Among the most buzzing reactions, a statement stood out: “Oscar Wanted to Slap Lando.”

“Oscar wanted to slap Lando for that.”

““My girlfriends a pescatarian” holds up red flag”

“If you pay attention you’ll be able to see the single drop of sweat rolling down Norris’ forehead after learning this information“

“I think Lando wants Oscar to himself that’s why he’s like time to move on“

While it’s accepted that this might be an exaggerated take, there were other theories as well.

“Add that to the list of things Lando doesn’t know, along with where Canada is”

“Lando slowly turning into Dark Daniel ! “

Daniel Ricciardo often is the humorous & sarcastic king of the F1 grid. Apparently, Norris may have taken up the same mantle & added his spicy twist that often treads on a dangerous line!

“Love watching lando continously make a fool of himself”

“Oscar is the quiet guy who is way smarter then he lets on… Lando is the exact opposite. Oscar will get his maiden win before Lando even figures out what a threat he is.”
