Oscar Piastri's little dance was a lost bet against NFL player Justin Jefferson 

Oscar Piastri proved he’s a man of his word when he did the ‘griddy’ dance after winning the Miami Grand Prix. The Australian, who took home his third consecutive victory and widened his championship lead over teammate Lando Norris, made a bet with Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, Justin Jefferson earlier in the week. 

“It was an attempt at a griddy. As you can tell, poorly executed,” he told reporters after doing the viral dance move in parc fermé. “I met Justin Jefferson on Thursday who has essentially made the griddy world famous and I stupidly made a bet with him that if I won the race I’d do one for him,” Piastri explained. 

After qualifying fourth, the 24-year-old didn’t expect to be standing on the top step of the podium, so he didn’t practice the dance. “After qualifying yesterday ... I thought that it was definitely not going to be needed,” he said. “So that was my first attempt at a griddy live on world TV. I stayed true to the bet but that’s the one and only time you’re doing to see me doing that.”

Jefferson was quick to react to the clip of Piastri doing the dance move, writing on X, “OSCARRRRRR!!! LETS GOOOOO.” It comes a couple of days after the NFL player visited Hard Rock Stadium, and did a hot lap with the McLaren driver. "No one has ever done it in racing. You'll be the first one,” Jefferson said after teaching Piastri his infamous post-touchdown celebration. "Well if I do it this weekend, I'll do it for you," Piastri replied.
