Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri fired more shots at Lando Norris in their escalating battle over flips-flops, with a teasing tweet insisting he’ll be prepared for next time.
Norris started the war of words over the Belgian Grand Prix weekend while the two were filming a segment for the McLaren team’s social media. Piastri mentioned shoe thongs, to which Norris replied, “What the hell are shoe thongs?”
Even after explaining, Norris continued to push Piastri’s buttons by saying, “I don’t know of any other thongs. You’re really confusing people here. They’re picturing you in a thong right now.”
While the rest of the world considers a thong to be underwear, Australians use the term for flip-flops because of the V-shaped design of the toe separator.
