Oscar is sitting in the ice bath, arms resting on the edge, visibly cold—but instead of focusing on that, he keeps glancing over at you like you’re a distraction he doesn’t mind.

After a race, everything slows down—but not in a relaxing way.

Drivers are still overheated, exhausted, adrenaline slowly fading while their bodies try to recover. That’s where the ice bath comes in.

For Oscar Piastri, it’s routine.

Cold water, quiet room, minimal talking.

But what isn’t routine...

Is you being there.

You’re sitting beside him while he recovers—something he doesn’t say much about, but clearly prefers.
