(Getty Images: Zak Mauger)abc.net.au/news/oscar-piastri-miami-gp-f1-poorly-executed-griddy/105255666Link copiedShareShare articleOscar Piastri enjoyed a dominant run to victory at the Miami Grand Prix but the McLaren driver could not claim an entirely flawless afternoon.After getting out of the car, the 24-year-old Australian tried to perform the first ever Formula 1 version of the "Griddy", but the execution left something to be desired.Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is known for the dance after touchdowns in the NFL, although it takes its name from a viral TikTok created by high school player Allen "Griddy" Davis.Loading Twitter contentPiastri, known for his unflappable demeanour, precision and calmness under pressure but not so much for extrovert tendencies, was not a natural proponent."It was an attempt at a Griddy, as you can tell, poorly executed," Piastri told reporters when asked about his dance."I met Justin Jefferson on Thursday, who has essentially made the Griddy world famous, and stupidly made a bet with him that if I won the race, then I would do one for him."After qualifying yesterday, I didn't practice because I thought that was definitely not going to be needed."So yeah, that was my first attempt at a Griddy live on world TV. I stayed true to the bet, but that's the one and only time you'll be seeing me do that."The Vikings responded on social media platform X by saying "Oscarrrrrr! Lets Gooooo!"Loading...Piastri otherwise had nothing to feel embarrassed about after 57 laps around Miami's Hard Rock Stadium complex.The victory was his fourth in six races and the third in a row, and he stretched his championship lead over Norris to 16 points.Piastri also overtook Norris on career wins with six to the Briton's five despite being in only his third season to his teammate's seventh.The Australian cashed in when Norris and Red Bull's pole-sitter Max Verstappen clashed at turn two, moving up to third and then passing Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli and Verstappen to take the lead.He finished 37 seconds ahead of the nearest non-McLaren rival, Mercedes' George Russell.Despite that, he was not happy with his performance in qualifying on Saturday."I won the race this weekend, but I think the likelihood of winning many races (while) qualifying fourth is pretty low," said Piastri."I did a lot of things right today, but there was definitely some good fortune there as well, and a very quick car. I don't want to rely on that every single Sunday."ReutersPosted 32m ago32 minutes agoMon 5 May 2025 at 7:42amShare optionsCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)SportFlawless Piastri beats teammate Norris to win Miami Grand PrixTopic:Formula 1Photo shows Oscar Piastri celebrates with the trophy on the podium after winning the Miami Grand Prix'Shouldn't have said that': Storm star's post-game prediction comes trueJAnalysis by Jon HealyPhoto shows Stefano Utoikamanu stands with blood on his eyebrow surrounded by players during a Melbourne Storm-Canberra Raiders game.Youth to drive Popovic's Socceroos, but one rising star is yet to commitTopic:SocceroosPhoto shows Alex Robertson runs with the ballTasmanian government to go it alone on AFL stadium fundingTopic:AFLPhoto shows A render of the proposed Macquarie Point stadium, showing a wood-panelled round structureWomen's sevens team falls to NZ in World Championship finalTopic:Rugby 7Photo shows Mahina Paul runs with the ballTop StoriesAndrew Hastie drops out of Liberal leadership raceLIVEPhoto shows Hastie gestures with one hand while speaking at a press conference in a parliament house courtyard.Albanese says he received 'very warm' phone call from Donald TrumpTopic:Foreign AffairsPhoto shows a middle-aged man wearing glasses pointing'Laughable policies': Voters explain what went wrong for CoalitionTopic:ElectionsPhoto shows A young coupleRecord-breaking number of women to enter ParliamentTopic:VotingPhoto shows a composite image of three womenNationals MPs '100 per cent' back nuclear being kept as Coalition dissects lossTopic:Federal GovernmentPhoto shows A man in a shirt and hat.Related storiesFlawless Piastri beats teammate Norris to win Miami Grand PrixTopic:Formula 1Photo shows Oscar Piastri celebrates with the trophy on the podium after winning the Miami Grand PrixRelated topicsFormula 1Motor SportsSportUnited StatesTop StoriesAndrew Hastie drops out of Liberal leadership raceTopic:Australian Federal ElectionsPhoto shows Hastie gestures with one hand while speaking at a press conference in a parliament house courtyard.Albanese says he received 'very warm' phone call from Donald TrumpTopic:Foreign Affairs'Laughable policies': Voters explain what went wrong for CoalitionTopic:ElectionsRecord-breaking number of women to enter ParliamentTopic:VotingNationals MPs '100 per cent' back nuclear being kept as Coalition dissects lossTopic:Federal GovernmentJust InCanberra families of teens killed in crash tell of 'never ending' painTopic:Courts16m ago16 minutes agoMon 5 May 2025 at 7:58amPiastri a winner again, but 'poorly executed' Griddy proves he is humanTopic:Formula 132m ago32 minutes agoMon 5 May 2025 at 7:42amMan jailed for 'bizarre' theft of car with woman and child insideTopic:Crime34m ago34 minutes agoMon 5 May 2025 at 7:40am'Magic of friendship' on show at Bangtail Muster in Alice SpringsTopic:Carnivals and Festivals35m ago35 minutes agoMon 5 May 2025 at 7:39amMore Just InBack to top
