Fantastic race! Hurray comrades and fans of the McLaren team! Lando did it! Race heroes Logan and Kevin. Not a joke. Superbly fast pace, Lando implemented everything as he should have from the very beginning of the race.
When the chance to win arose, I guessed that here in the thread I would have to re-read more than 4-5 pages, as is usually the case. And I was not mistaken!
I read every comment you made, comrades.
It went perfectly. At the start of the season, I was confident that the team would be capable of being second fastest and that victory was indeed possible. Lando also confirmed this. And then it happened! I’m very happy for the team, very happy for Lando! Emotions are still overwhelming me. I held on as best I could so as not to jinx it.
I personally wanted the increase in the race to be 0.4 seconds per lap in racing mode. But apparently I greatly underestimated the team. This is understandable. The team played low, trying not to attract too much attention.
It’s hard to say how many times I’ll watch this race again. It was magical.
Yes, definitely, now it will be easier for Lando. The weight has been lifted from his shoulders, there will be no pressure that fans, commentators and other people put on him. What happened with Mika Hakkinen is repeated. He also had a lot of podiums without victories, and then he suddenly broke through.
It's a shame what happened to Oscar. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens. But the race pace was high and comparable to Ferrari, and that already says a lot. Oscar came with the old floor, sidepod, engine hood and beam wing.
To echo Will Joseph's words, the car should be even faster on other tracks. So the team again made an incredible hyperjump in space, once again proving to everyone that they had reached the top level!
And finally I can ask, do some still think that Newey's arrival was so necessary, or can the staff of engineers and the aerodynamic department, led by Peter Prodromou, not do better? The answer to this question was given and confirmed today.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention, swearing on live television is something!
Lando is like a Rock Star today!
