As per Racing News 365, he revealed how his multiple junior championship wins could help him in the upcoming battle.

Oscar shared that he thought he had handled the pressure well, noting that the intense pressure of the championship fight was yet to come.
While reflecting on battling with his teammate, the F1 driver added, "The pressure is only going to increase from here. When we get to the latter part of the year, that is when the pressure will ramp up.”

The McLaren driver won Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019, FIA F3 in 2020, and FIA F2 in 2021.
