Go to hell, Red Bull Racing

- earned his first EVER pole position (and 6 poles total)

- more than doubled his total career points

- more than quadrupled his win total and equaled the win total of his mentor mark webber

- earned two hat tricks and one grand slam

- DRASTICALLY improved his qualifying, bringing his h2h to a nearly 1:1 ratio compared to the 5:1 ratio in his teammate’s favor last year

- has the second highest pole to win ratio in the history of the sport

- held a race-finishing streak that lasted three seasons (44, the second longest in the sport’s history)

- got 8 consecutive podiums (one of only three mclaren drivers to do so alongside aryton senna and lewis hamilton)

- lead the championship for 15 rounds and stayed in contention until the very last race

- forced his way into the championship conversation despite not being a considered a real threat at the start of the season

- has shown tremendous improvements equal to those between his first and second seasons that he will continue to build on going forward

this graphic puts into perspective how impressive oscar’s been this entire fucking season. he’s only in his 3rd season in formula 1 and he led the wdc for 15 consecutive races this year. he has multiple poles, multiple wins, wins from positions other than pole, poles to wins, one grand slam, 8 back to back podiums, 3 back to back race wins making him the first mclaren driver to do this since 1998. all this while having less than half of the experience that his wdc rivals have.

no matter how tomorrow goes, he has proved himself and his worth as a driver and he should be really fucking proud of himself and his season.
