People saying Oscar Piastri are ugly need a reality check

I’m quite into F1 and saw some online commentary around the notion that Oscar Piastri is ugly and not good looking. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think he is a decent looking lad. I know he’s signed up recently to a modelling agency and people were taking the mick out of the idea of him being a model.

I think he's cute as a button.

Much too young for me to truly ponder his attractiveness though.

There's no need to call anyone ugly.

He’s fine, but this isn’t new territory. Max=Sid the sloth etc. People will always be dickheads towards celebrities and sports stars, somewhat stemming from jealousy and their own unhappiness. ‘Twas ever thus.

I just googled him as I don't know him. Ugly?! He looks absolutely fine to me.

Of course he's not ugly. Not that it matters one jot, he's a hugely successful athlete at the top of his game, his looks are irrelevant.

As an F1 fan this kind of nastiness pisses me off, but then so does the objectification of the more conventionally handsome drivers like Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sianz.

He’s very cute, far too young for me but a nice looking lad. George Russell seems to get a lot of hate, but again a nice looking young lad.

God how awful. Nobody is ugly. Especially not him! He's only young too. He's a lovely chap.

Radiowaawaa · 08/08/2025 21:05

Doesn’t really matter what he looks like, he’s a successful formula one driver.

TheSummerITurnedChubby · 08/08/2025 21:12

He has a look of a young Roger Federer: that’s fine by me!

Hernameisdeborah · 09/08/2025 07:39

YANBU. Who’s saying this? Idiots! a), it’s completely untrue, he isn’t remotely ugly and b), why do some people feel the need to comment negatively on sportspeople’s (or anyone else’s) looks?!

God, I’ve got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp, so yep I’d say ugly for me.

Nottodaty · 09/08/2025 07:49

He is a bloody good driver.
What he looks like it irrelevant to the sport. (Though having sort of met him in person..not met more could see him walking into the paddock at Silverstone he isn't bad looking in person)

He’s lovely, seems very down to earth, with a girlfriend who is his childhood sweetheart.

He's an ordinary looking young man. He's been signed up to model because his career will lend brands an aspirational quality. The aesthetics of his looks matter less than his career. As tends to be the case when it's a man.
