Why the heck on earth, these f1 commentators are making it so dramatic. So f***ing annoying!

Yeah this is on the team as far as I know Norris did not call for the strategy that he's on, while Piastri has done the hard yards why would you put Norris into this position. Yes WDC is Hopeless mostly, mathematical possibility sure but unlikely but if you want to built ruthlessness into the team for a true WDC run surely now that they are in this position take the Maximum points against Max.

What a great way to cause conflict within the team.

Seriously.

Why be so defensive and then expect drivers to swap?

Very strange call from McLaren, there was no need to cover Hamilton, I agree with the call to swap, but I don't think Lando will listen
I see it the same way, but if VER stays 5 a team order would bring the big points for the wdc. But they need to sort this things out before the race and than EVERYONE must stuck to it. Or I just to overreact.

Team need to make clear he was gifted that on trust, to protect his position. Taking advantage of that is wrong.

What did Lando say? Didn't catch that.

Should have boxed Oscar first....basically
Thanks! And Lando is absolutely right. The strategy team is again a bit too reactive to my taste. With the pace the team has, they should be more assertive instead of reactive. They got the pace to adhere to their fastest strategy and still be covering Hamilton/Verstappen/whoever

If they want the swap, Oscar needs to be closer.

Lando is not in error here definitely... They choose strategy for him, as well as for Oscar... Let's just hope both of them get to the end safely.

But, as shown by Max, in a very fast car, it's hard to overtake. You have to react.

Not so much on this Forum but certainly elsewhere people have complained that Norris doesn't exhibit that ruthless WDC killer instinct now people are shocked when he's displaying ruthlessness. This is fully on the team for causing this and can't blame Norris and likewise if Norris' tyres hang on he will feel vindicated saying he deserved the place due to his pace.

Correct me if I am wrong, but how Lando is reacting is not how Mclaren run their drivers.
You don't bite the hand that feeds you. Where Lando is at is down to the team.
