2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Just my opinion man. You are free to disagree.

On another note Piastri is chasing Verstappen. Is it our day?

[FittingMechanics]

Piastri on pace of Verstappen. For now.

[Darth-Piekus]

Lando Norris should step up his game though. He should be able to start doing passes at some point.

One thing to consider is that the pits will be mayhem.

[FittingMechanics]

I think the guys will pit soon - they started on used mediums (I think).

[Darth-Piekus]

We are lucky as Mclaren as we can double stack both.

Too worried about those behind. No reason to pit either. Especially not Lando.

[Ben1980]

Unless at the limit of laps

Of course, my brain worked out that SC would extend the run... but of course it won't!

Verstappen just did a fastest ap on these tyres. We have no chance against him lol

[Darth-Piekus]

I dont think we had Verstappen as a target not when Piastri had so many cars to pass and the Red Bull still has a slight advantage.

Why did we pit so early?

It's not slight.

[FittingMechanics]

Double podium looks possible.

Piastri P2, Norris P4 at the moment.

Why did we pit so early?

You have to pit when tyres are 18 laps old - Piastri and Norris were near to that time. Verstappen has fresher tyres so he was able to go longer.

If I read the pit message correctly, Piastri might go in at lap 25.

Why did we pitted so early?

It was mandated by the FIA how long we could stay on these tyres.
