silverstone 2024 landoscar post-race stage > full transcript + gifs
watching recordings of this stage genuinely makes my ears hurt because of the crowd noise and i also find the 132843 videos and photos so hard to keep track of so i was like... fuckit, let me transcribe it once and for all so i can have access to a written recap for reference! figured i'd post here in case it's of any use to anyone else... i compiled different fan-posted material to provide visuals from multiple angles whenever possible since i wanted to piece together a somewhat comprehensive summary; sources are linked but if any ops run across this post lmk if you'd like something removed 🙏
(tbh i mostly made this because i wanted the Three (3) instances of them touching in one post. sorry)
Host: Lando and Oscar. What can I say? Wow!
Lando: Hello! Beautiful, huh? It's beautiful to see so many people here.
H: This is the most people we've had all weekend. They've all come back for you guys, who've come and seen us after the race. How are you both doing?
Oscar: (pauses) A lot better now!
L: Yeah, better now. We're—we're both... (strokes Oscar's shoulder) we're both a little bit unhappy with how the race ended, but uhhh. You made our day.
"We're both… we're both a little unhappy..." (x)
O: Yes. You really have, so thank you!
H: As you said, you were a little bit unhappy, but I have a feeling that every single one of you [fans] is absolutely ecstatic to have these guys up here. I mean, this is... potentially like one of the best crowds you guys have ever had, right?
L: Oh no, this is, uh. I think this is even better than last year, so.
O: Yeah. (crowd cheering)
H: Oscar, what is it like getting all this love from the Brits? We love you!
O: (slight pause) Weird, but I love it. So thank you everyone. I know there's a few Aussies here as well, so thanks everyone that's traveled far and wide, thanks everyone for putting up with the weather… Ummm. And yeah. Thanks for supporting us.
H: We've got several Oscar signs. I just saw an Oscar sign here— (O: Thank you.) We've got "Let's go Oscar" here… (Crowd starts chanting Ohhh, Oscar Piastri) Lando. I've seen so many signs here saying that next year is your year, mate. "Champion next year." World champion next year for Lando Norris! (crowd cheering)
O: (looks over and gently elbows Lando's arm)
(x) / (x)
H: These guys are all behind you!
L: Aww... shit. Nah, I'm uh… I'm good. I'm just—you know, there's one race every year where you want to do better than anywhere else, and that's here. This is the one race, and things were going so beautifully, I was leading the majority of the race, and… yeah. It hurts! It hurts coming away from it knowing I almost could've won in my home race, and that's been my dream since I was a kid. So. I'm sorry! But… I'll save it for next year.
H: Hold on a minute. I don't think you need to apologize for anything. I think these guys are still absolutely over-the-moon. I think I can speak on behalf of every single person here to say that they're immensely proud of you and your performance this year. And that goes for you too, Oscar! The team as a whole. This is your team's home race...
L: (stares at Oscar intensely and quickly pats his arm)
O: (giggles)
(x) / (x)
H: And look at all the papaya! That's all I can say, look at it.
O: Yeah. We have the best fans, so thank you very much. To steal that line from Lewis, we have the best fans.
H: What is it actually like being up here, though? Soaking this up. I mean, we never do this any other race; this is the only race we come back to after the race is done and see all of the fans. How special is it?
L: It's, uh… it's quite easily the best race of the whole year. It's genuinely the most incredible feeling standing here, having so much support. It was a hard act to follow after Lewis was here, but we want to come back and we want to do better every single time. (gestures at teleprompter) You've only got two minutes left, but I could stay here all night.
H: Okay! I just want to say, you do this to me often on stage. You always read my [teleprompter] and tell me when I need to wrap up.
L: (shrugs)
H: (sarcastic) I've got it, thank you. Thank you very much. (notices crowd chanting for a shoey) Oh, they want a shoey!
L: (softly, shaking head) No.
O: Not happening.
H: I think that's a you thing, that's definitely an Aussie thing.
O: Last year I got peer pressured. I'm not going to have it again.
H: Can we peer pressure you again?
O: (shakes head)
(x)
H: Lando, can we peer pressure him again, d'you reckon?
L & O: (exchange knowing glances)
O: I did one last year, though.
L: (teasing) You're going to let down sooo many people!
O: …Well, since you put it that way.
"You're going to let down sooo many people!"
"...Well, since you put it that way."
(x) / (x)
H: We've got the beer here! It's happening! (crowd cheering)
L: (shakes can)
H: Right. Get the shoe off, get the shoe off. (Oscar toes off his right shoe) Oh, the shoe is off!
L: (chugs from can, then bends down to fill up Oscar's shoe)
O: (pointing between them while Lando shakes his head) You're doing it too!!!
O: (drinks)
H: Lando, I think you've got to!
O: (insistently hands Lando his shoe)
(x) / (x) / (x)
H: Everyone, make some noise for Lando. Top it up, Lando. Don't hold back.
L: Cheers. (drinks, dumps out the rest, shakes Oscar's shoe out and then tosses it into crowd)
O: (bends over and giggles helplessly) [x2]
(x)
H: Guys, absolutely sensational effort from you both. Fantastic. (to Oscar) I hope you've got a spare pair of shoes.
O: (lilting) I don't even think that was the worst part of our day!
"I don't even think that was the worst part of our day!" (x)
H: Of course that wasn't the worst part of your day. You're up here with the best fans in the world. I'm being told that I've got to wrap up.
L: Wrap it up. (takes out phone)
O: (shuffles behind Lando to snap a crowd selfie)
(x)
H: We have to let Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri go. (crowd booing; L: Boo!) But before we do, please make noise for the incredible, incredible McLaren drivers, and for their fantastic [inaudible] shoey! One last word before you go, for the fans.
L: One last word? Uhh, I love you all, thanks so much for all the support. I can't wait for next year already. I'm excited, I want to come back. Um. (waves)
O: (smiling) Yep. Thank you everyone. We've had a 2-4 and a 3-4 at Silverstone, I think next year is the year to make it a 1-2.
L: Next year [inaudible].
O: Thanks for all your support. Thanks for putting up with the weather, uhhm. I know most of you choose to live in this country, but. Um. Anyway. Thank you very much, and we will see you next year, better!
L & O: Thanks everyone. Thank you. (take official crowd photo)
H: Fantastic.
L: (hypes the crowd by waving his arms up and down)
O: (takes signed cap to give to a fan before noticing and giggling at Lando's antics)
O: (crawls to the edge of the stage and puts the cap on a young fan's head, signs her poster with Lando)
L: (goes around collecting things thrown onto the stage; first picks up 2 friendship bracelets that say ♥OSCAR♥ and ♥LANDO♥ (can be seen on the underside of his wrist in this video), then picks up a fanmade Oscar doll that he shows Oscar, then picks up one last friendship bracelet and holds it in his left hand as he leaves the stage)
O: (takes a few steps away before turning back and chucking his remaining left shoe)
