Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are promising the bromance that was promised when Daniel Ricciardo joined McLaren. The latest McLaren social media content is super fun and reminds us of the Carlando [Carlos-Lando] bromance. To win an argument with Lando Norris over thongs, Oscar Piastri launches a $29.99 pair. What is this pair and did Piastri really just launch these to win an argument?

McLaren has been uploading wholesome content with Piastri and Norris. Ever since the team started contending for podiums, the mood in the team seems to be great. About a week ago, McLaren uploaded a reel on Instagram where the Aussie and the Briton can be seen debating over “Shoe Thongs”. Norris suggests that people are now going to imagine Piastri with Thongs around his feet.

The duo was actually talking about Flip-Flops. To win the week-old argument, Oscar Piastri has now released a new collection. Flip Flops are a part of the collection. Oscar Piastri cheekily tagged Lando Norris in an Instagram story with the McLaren video of them arguing and a picture of the “Shoe Thongs” priced at $29.99. The product is actually named Shoe Thongs on the online Oscar Piastri shop. The footwear is white in color with Orange and blue stripes on it.
