Everyone I believe can be entitled to their own opinion. Personally I think that Tsunoda was at fault and Oscar Piastri was lucky not to have retired from that stunt.

Good decision here. Let Lando attack. Still I'm not sure if the mediums can hold at this pace.
Piastri pitted on lap 24? or so - the team told Piastri over the radio that the tyres were good. So they obviously feel they can do 35 on an empty tank.

Let's get P5.

The difference in pace between the two cars is pretty astounding. If only Lando made it out of Q1...

Edit: Excellent progress by Norris.

As a McLaren fan I really enjoy reading all the posts here and don’t even get too bothered by the Lando/Piastri favouritism etc but this comment is so unnecessary and inappropriate!
If you read a lot of the comments it isn't really about favouritism, but comparing performance. The fan bias comes in when people think their favourite driver needs protecting at all costs.

Ricciardo getting flashbacks.

Guys - Oscar has damage to his floor as Tsunoda hit him three times on the side.

Piastri finished his tyres off fighting Yuki.

Excellent pass by Lando but to admit also Ricci fair play.

If Lando was not pinched at the restart or if he did not pit before the red flag - his current pace is good enough for a podium.

Dammit Lando Norris. You could have been on any position on the podium again if it wasn't for those mistakes. He is flying.

It really has turned into a race of what could have been with his incredible pace.

Absolutely. The majority I find great to read and based on the situation as I see it (Lando could have done better in quali etc) occasionally it dips into bashing due to bias but it’s rare. Always enjoy your inputs!

I am extremely pleased with our line up and rate both extremely highly. Now let’s go get Russell!
