Lando Norris says a horse should play Oscar Piastri in F1 movie, fans can't get over his savage response: 'That horse is leading the championship'
Image credit: Formula 1 Brad Pitt 's much-awaited Formula 1 movie has finally hit theatres — and in a bid to keep things as authentic as possible, it features guest appearances by current F1 drivers. Around the film's release, which coincides with the Austrian Grand Prix, the F1 grid was asked a fun question during media day: If someone were to play your teammate in a movie, who would it be? And the most tongue-in-cheek reply came from McLaren's Lando Norris, who said with a straight face, 'a horse,' when asked who could play his teammate Oscar Piastri. F1 drivers give their casting suggestions on who could play their teammate in a movie The video was recorded on Thursday during the media day, just before the Austrian GP officially kicks off with free practice sessions. The fun segment was later shared on F1's official Instagram page with the caption: 'We asked the drivers who would play their team mate in a movie... the results were about as chaotic as expected.' Norris didn't seem to be in the mood to play along seriously and simply offered 'a horse' as his answer. Piastri, however, took the question more sportingly, replying, 'Lando Norris played my teammate in the movie, so probably him again.' Max Verstappen's reply stood out for fans on social media — when asked who could portray his teammate Yuki Tsunoda, the Red Bull driver said, 'I think Yuki should play himself in the movie and become a Japanese movie star.' Other drivers also gave entertaining responses. George Russell said Will Ferrell could play his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tandartsen onthullen: dit is dé implantaatoplossing in 2025 Tandimplantaten | Zoek Advertenties Meer informatie Undo Nico Hülkenberg suggested Adam Sandler for his Haas teammate Gabriel Bortoleto.

Isack Hadjar, referring to Racing Bulls teammate Liam Lawson, said, 'Brad Pitt. He looks like him, kind of.' Lawson, in return, said Hadjar could be played by Joshua Pearce. 'He's actually quite similar to Isack — loves the spotlight,' Lawson said.

Another added, 'Lando, by people's reactions, just nailed it!' Someone added, 'That horse is leading the championship, btw.' One fan even demanded 'Justice for Leonardo and Ollie' in the comments section, while another said, 'Max's answer was so real.'

Back in 2022, he went viral for his Squid Game -inspired look during a BTS concert. Dressed in the now-iconic pink tracksuit, V's cosplay immediately ignited theories that he could somehow be connected to the series' future. Those theories only grew stronger when the Squid Game cast was later asked in interviews whether V would appear in upcoming seasons. The cast neither confirmed nor denied the speculation, fueling fan excitement even more. With no official statement to debunk the theory, fans were left to connect the dots themselves.
