F1 fans make surprise Olympic connection

Some fans were quick to notice Oscar Piastri’s doppelganger, by sharing a picture of Dutch gymnast, Frank Rijken.

The McLaren star noticed the comparisons on X, and replied that he was ‘not competing’ at the Olympics on social media.

Similarly, during the Men’s Park Skateboarding semi-final the Spanish athlete, Danny Leon, was compared to Daniel Ricciardo.

Even athletes names are unsafe from an F1 connection with Bahamian sprinter Alonzo Russell reminding fans of a champion’s party.
