    Summary

    Oscar isn’t ashamed to admit that he’s genuinely kind of terrified when he signs with McLaren. Even putting aside the entire drama that is the contract debacle with Alpine. It had been bad enough being their reserve driver, he didn’t think he could stand to be their actual driver.

    Still, the guilt had been weighing on him like something heavy. Both for the entire drama, and the knowledge of whose seat he had taken exactly. 
    He was glad suddenly that he had never gotten around to disclosing his real designation to the team, because at least that was one less thing they could use against him. 

    or

    (Oscar, a newly presented omega does what anyone could do when panicking; he lies about his designation. He think's it will be an easy situation, right up until the grid begins acting so strange)

    Summary

    Objectively, Oscar knew that he was welcome in the designated Pack Room. Even if Mark hadn’t walked him through the dynamics of the Paddock Pack himself before sending Oscar off to pre-season testing, it had been in the official debrief that the McLaren Team had given him, as well as the less-than-official debrief Lando had subjected him to shortly thereafter.

    Because the Paddock Pack was always open to any driver – past or present – should they choose to join.

    But, on a very personal level, Oscar was afraid. Afraid that the other drivers still harboured some secret, vile resentment towards him for how he’d entered the sport. Terrified that they wouldn’t welcome him, when he was responsible for pushing such a beloved driver out. Frightened of rejection, when he was so desperately craving connection.
