MIAMI, Florida — Thursday throughout media day on the Miami Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri met vast receiver Justin Jefferson and acquired a fast Griddy lesson.
Piastri then made a guess with the Minnesota Vikings receiver that if he had been to win the Miami Grand Prix, he would have fun with a Griddy.
After his qualifying effort on Saturday left him beginning in fourth, Piastri determined to not follow what he realized on Thursday, assuming he wouldn’t have to pay up on his guess with Jefferson. However as luck would have it, Piastri picked up just a few spots after the beginning of the Miami Grand Prix, chased down race chief Max Verstappen, and pulled away to safe the win right here in Miami, his fourth win of the season and his third-straight victory.
That means it was time to pay up on his guess, regardless of the dearth of follow:
Talking within the FIA Press Convention after his win, Piastri spoke about his try on the Griddy, and admitted that this was a one-and-done scenario.
“I knew that was going to be the query! It was an try at a Griddy, as you possibly can inform, poorly executed. I met Justin Jefferson on Thursday, who has primarily made the Griddy world well-known, and stupidly made a guess with him that if I received the race, then I’d do one for him,” stated Piastri. “After qualifying yesterday, I didn’t follow as a result of I assumed that was undoubtedly not going to be wanted. So yeah, that was my first try at a Griddy dwell on world TV. I stayed true to the guess, however that’s the one and solely time you’ll be seeing me do this.”
Nonetheless, at the very least one sports activities fan accepted of the try.
Jefferson himself.
That ought to rely for one thing, proper?
