Ancient Wasp Named After Oscar Piastri
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Scientists just unearthed a 65-million-year-old wasp trapped in Burmese amber, naming it Gwesped Piastrii in honor of Formula One driver Oscar Piastri — because the amber’s hue reminded researchers of McLaren’s iconic orange. This tiny prehistoric insect, dating back to the dinosaur era, is now immortalized in paleontology and Piastri’s racing legacy, as the Aussie driver himself gears up for the Isle of Man TT before Monaco.
