When Oscar Piastri won his third consecutive race on Sunday, May 4, at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, he celebrated in an iconic way that paid tribute to one of the NFL's best receivers. 

Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson is known for his griddy touchdown celebration, and was actually in Miami to cheer him on. Specifically, the two met up prior to the race, and Jefferson actually tried to teach him the dance. 

"The next race that you win, you get out of the car (and hit the griddy)," Jefferson said in the video courtesy of Bleacher Report.  "No one has ever done it in racing. You'll be the first one."

"Well if I do it this weekend, I'll do it for you," Piastri responded

A deal is a deal. 

And the McLaren driver did it after his victory, with the Vikings posting the video. 

Jefferson, of course, had to respond on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

"OSCARRRRRR!!! LETS GOOOO @OscarPiastri," he commented. 

It would have been so much better if it was at U.S. Bank Stadium instead, but hey, it still counts!
