The Australian rookie, Oscar Piastri, is all set to take part in his first Formula 1 track event today. But before that goes underway, he revealed the part of his racing gear which he has complete creative autonomy over; the helmet. The first time is always the special one and Piastri’s lid has indeed made sure of that. However, the sweet moment was overtaken by fans, suggesting Oscar should have taken the doughy route.

Piastri took to his social media handles to make the grand reveal. He posted a series of three pictures on both Instagram and Twitter, showcasing his brand-new headgear. The helmet has an orange color dominance, perhaps as a tribute to the team he is making his debut with, and dashes of blue. If one looks closely, the Australian flag can also be spotted hiding behind the visor. The new man of the Woking outfit, who already has fans cheering for him gave them another reason to root for him.

With all that is said and done, the fans can’t keep calm as they put up a united front over a humorous dig at the rookie.

Fans can’t help but find humor in Oscar Piastri’s lid reveal

The McLaren rookie’s helmet reveals left social media disappointed rather humorously as they were expecting a Pastry to make a debut on the lid. The Aussie’s last name, which sounds more like the sweet or salty doughy confectionary, made the fans expect a dash of fun. However, with his first lid reveal the man from the land down under has decided to play it safe.

Other fans definitely noticed the bold color scheme of the helmet and stated that in a sport where the most distinct lids get spotted and the young Aussie didn’t disappoint them.

The Instagram crowd was not far behind in chiming in with their take on the headgear, but the comparison with a doughy food item was not just restricted to Twitter. Given below are some comments from his Instagram post:

“nice helmet oscar pastry 🥐”

“nawww where’s the 🥐🥐🥐”

“Banger from Oscar Pastry 🔥”

“OP81! Ready to tear the track up 💪🏻”

Others noticed the minuscule details of the helmet and even paid attention to efforts made by the two Papaya drivers, Lando Norris and Piastri, to support each other.

“I love how Lando removed the blue on his helmet and Oscar reduced the amount of yellow on his almost like they are trying to help us differentiate them”

“I really believed we were going to have “Oscar Pastry” on the helmet 😭😭😭”

“Thank God he kept the flag”

“Love the light blue ans the dark 81 😍 I wish you all the best for this season Oscar!”
