   Summary

   What is a better headline than "Home hero Oscar Piastri bottles the race before it begins"?

   Well, probably a front page picture of him kissing his rival.

    

   Or: Max decides it's a great idea to fake date their way out of annoying racing questions. Oscar isn't too sure - though he doesn't mind all the kissing.
