TXT’s Beomgyu has unintentionally ignited a wave of fan buzz after revealing his favorite Formula 1 team and driver, and the reaction from Oscar Piastri’s sister has taken the internet by storm.
During a recent interview, Beomgyu, a member of the globally popular boy group Tomorrow X Together (TXT), shared that his favorite F1 team is McLaren and his favorite driver is Lando Norris. The comment was a casual nod to his interest in motorsports, but it didn’t take long for fans, and even F1 insiders, to react.
Among them was Oscar Piastri’s sister, who posted a cheeky TikTok with the caption: «When your bias picks your team but not your driver.»

The video quickly gained traction, with fans from both fandoms chiming in on the playful moment. Many praised the lighthearted crossover, while others joked about the «driver wars» within McLaren’s own garage.
McLaren, currently fielding both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, has enjoyed a surge in popularity among younger audiences. The TikTok moment has further fueled the growing intersection between pop culture and motorsports, with fans celebrating the unexpected connection.
As one fan commented, «This is the crossover I never knew I needed.»
