Carn Oscar, what a start.

 

[kyear2]

Wtf is Oscar doing?

 

[kyear2]

But at some point Lanso needs to learn how to hold position at the start of a race

 

[kyear2]

Ferrari are fast though

 

[kyear2]

So this race looking like a two stopper?

Lando looking scrappy

 

[Spikey]

Bless their souls, VCARB can't even do a 5 sec time penalty correctly

 

[ripper868]

Wtf is Oscar doing?

Making a play for his own title charge

 

[ripper868]

Leclerc 1 stopping this? 16 seconds in 12 laps seems enough of a gap?

 

[ripper868]

Don't see 10secs dropping in 6 laps. Incredible strat by Ferrari

 

[kyear2]

McLaren just keeps ****ing up

No way they shouldn't have swapped cars

And the pit call was dicey, but honestly they didn't have anyone to cover

Did we watch the same race? The McLaren obviously suffered more on its tyres all day. You do remember Lando sliding off the track right? The only mention of tyres from Ferrari was from Sainz on one of his last medium laps. And LeClerc was complaining about pitting too early.

Honestly I thought K-Mag and Ricciardo did pretty good jobs considering their penalties. K-Mag crazy enough even managed a point.


Good stuff from Ferrari, had the best tyre wear of any of the front running teams. Always good to see them step it up at home. Man, gotta hurt for McLaren on a bad Verstappen day they could not properly capitalise. Albon was quality. Haas could have possibly had a double points finish without all their drama. Looked fast again. rip Fernando. Nice quiet solid debut from Colapinto, kept his nose clean, beat both Saubers and Alpines.

Fun little things… Hulkenberg even after a wing change and a 10s stop and go still beats Zhou heh. Lance Stroll stopping for softs for the fastest lap and failing.


I’m kinda loving it though, we’re getting different winners from multiple teams and the midfield seems to crazily swap between tracks.

Lando was struggling on his tyres much more than Oscar, and even he said they were coming back in.

As I said, it was dicey

If McLaren want Lando to be their boi then they should have swapped.

The fact they didn't shows either they think Oscar will be best boi or Zak Brown is bringing the American motorsport philosophy that team orders are a symptom of bitch disease.

 

[Furball]

It's like McLaren don't want to win the title.

Max will win because McLaren, Merc and Ferrari will just take points off each other.

 

[kyear2]

Think it was two years ago, was probably the 3rd race of the year and Red bull was already deploying team orders, it's not even up for debate... And it's smart.

I must say it's glaringly obvious people from Europe/America just don't get the Australian sporting mentality, even after the Webber years.

Piastri won't willingly be #2 for anyone and especially not a pom.

Also this is what happens when you hire two talents who know they can beat the other. McLaren tend to do this though even in the 00s post Coulthard.

And I think people understand that to a certain extent, but then that's why you need strong leadership on the pit wall

 

[Spikey]

lando should simply not get over-taken

Not how it works though.

The prestige of a double world championship means the world.

 

[Spikey]

lando should stop letting the team down then
