The McLaren team couldn’t deprive their fans of the attention on Christmas Eve, so they shared a funny photo and gave the floor to both drivers.
Let’s reproduce their dialogue in full.
Oscar Piastri: Hello to all McLaren fans! As 2023 comes to an end, we would like to thank you for your support!
Lando Norris: Yes, yes, we want to thank everyone who came to the races, and also thank you for all your support on social networks that we saw every weekend! But also for the fact that you were with us at the beginning of the season, because it was not easy, but we achieved excellent results.
In general, we would like to thank you for your support, because thanks to you we have something to celebrate this year. The year was difficult but interesting, and I would say we ended it on a high.
Oscar Piastri: Yes, the second half of the season was very good.
Lando Norris: I agree, she was just great and we got a lot of trophies.
Oscar Piastri: Yes, more than we could have imagined at the beginning of the year.
Lando Norris: Yes, and that’s always good.
Oscar Piastri: Thank you for overcoming the tough times and enjoying the good times with us. We wish you a wonderful winter holiday, spend it with your family, wherever you are, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2024!
As for the funny picture, it is also worth saying a few words about it. The Australian McLaren driver’s surname is spelled Piastri, but the team decided to change the style over the holidays. Just in case, let us remind you that tree means “tree” in English.
The caption for the photo reads: “Pias tree is our favorite tree species.”
The English team has appropriate humor, everything makes sense.
