2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

[mwillems]

Well. It seems that Max does still win because of his car. I hope as Emag said every idiot shuts up about Mclaren being the fastest car and Max is some type of god.

Ill take 2 and 3.

No need to be calling people idiots. Before today it was close even if those comments were a bit optimistic.

No worries Mcwillems. Im not talking about this forum. Im having in mind some others and remembering them.

Given that it was a lot of people saying that on here, you nearly offended a third of this thread

Also, McWillems is my Scottish cousin who happens to like Big Macs, I am English of European descent and do not like Big Macs.

Wait. Why was Piastris time deleted?

Track limits in turn 6. A marginal call I'd say but it is what it is.

Was he out of limits though?

[billamend]

He was over driving last year, and he should have had more wins this year so that days like today are less of a blow.

Interesting, i don’t see the same comments for Oscar failing his quali twice in a row… Double standards?

[Sergej]

is it possible that after the sprint they sacrificed some qualy pace for better tyre deg ?

No, he's not halfway through his second season. I was dissapointed with the last race and openly called for him to start on Meds and sacrifice his race to support Lando and the win.

Does that balance any scales?

Lando is actually my favourite driver. But I don't know why we are having this conversation, Lando hasn't done anything of note today.

Team stream says the team are looking at it, so there's a small chance it gets overturned. Looked incredibly marginal to me, and also makes me question why they put a gravel trap there if they're going to enforce track limits anyway...

Perhaps so, because the gap to Mercedes decreased from 0.3 to 0.1 sec

Lando is great! He did everything he could. Max is somehow out of reach. Terribly fast. Red Bull is surprisingly fast here. Especially in the third sector. There Lando lost more than two tenths. It's just amazing on such a short track.

Emag, by the way, I didn't say that McLaren are the fastest. I hope your previous message wasn't addressed to me.

The race could be boring. It looks like the pace will only be enough for second place.

Then know that the comment is not going for anyone here. People here are totally ok.

I agree. It's a bit strange. It would be worth making the curbs even narrower, so that driving beyond the white line would automatically lead to driving into gravel and wasting time.

Mclaren challenging the call. Oscar says he was on the line and not in the gravel.

Looks marginal, I hope they made that call with a top down view otherwise it's just guessing.

What's the point of enforcing track limits in a corner wheren you've gone to the trouble to lay gravel?

I believe Russell set his car up more for race pace so we can only guess that they all have?
