i’m still fuming actually because if mclaren thought about their strategy, they’d realise that lando did the right thing. lando created a hell of a gap, got those two papaya cars right at the front and away from max and lewis. and then gave the position back. that saved the race for both of them.
oscar admitted himself he didn’t have the pace that lando did. if lando had given the position back as early as they told him to, they’d have both had to slow down for the last 20 laps and would have put themselves in a vulnerable position. max was driving like a maniac lmao and lewis was going steady. they probably would have caught them - or at least tried to, and mclaren would have lost time defending.
once again mclaren pitwall has made me want to pull my hair out.
don’t even get me started on the guilt tripping and the gaslighting over that team radio…
lando we know you’ll do the right thing 🥺 lando i’m trying to protect you 🥺 lando you need the team to win a championship 🥺
you wouldn’t HAVE to tell him to give the position back if you got the strategy right in the first place!! wake up!! you’ve thrown away like 4 race wins this season!! I don’t blame lando for giving them a scare - good for him actually. maybe the only way they’ll make a change is if they get made to feel a little uncomfortable.
a mclaren 1-2, which should feel ecstatic, instead feels… kind of sad? a bit infuriating? which should tell mclaren everything in itself.
