2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

If Lando didn't make mistake on his last lap, this would be another big gap to P2 (0.25s or so).

With higher downforce this should be a good race. We need a clean start.

I'm hearing that Zak Brown said that they found what caused bad starts and they solved it. Let's hope for a good start today and start gaining distance for both Norris and Piastri.

We have a 1-2 on a bone dry race day and we hear news of potential storm.

Really?

But luckily - we have decent downforce.

I think whoever gets to the corner first goes through unchallenged, is going to be the instruction. Particularly after their last bump at Monza.

Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella reminded his drivers of the rules of fighting…

Andrea Stella: "They are free to fight on the track, taking the necessary precautions. We try to achieve synergy between our two drivers, and not to say: "Your teammate is your main rival." We try to avoid this approach, because it is counterproductive.

The first corner is a papaya rule, so you have to be extra careful if there's a car in the same colours next to you.

It's really important to us, especially with the car being so competitive, that both drivers see the flag in the highest possible position."

I'm surprised. From listening to Zak talking with Nico Rosberg I thought they were of a mind to support Lando. Perhaps Oscar is not ready.

Highly unlikely it rains, but there may be some increased wind.

Everyone has low downforce so it's not like they are in a better position than Mclaren. In any case I hope for a good start. Norris to cover the inside line and Piastri to cover Rusell so we get the 1-2 at the first turn. and then start to make some distance to Rusell. For the love of god Lando. No more botched starts. It might be harder this time to gain back places.

Let's go Mclaren.

[chrisgr]

[Ben1980]

Not sure the need for that. After such a good start.

[Ben1980]

Come on Lando. Screwed up again.

Lando screwed nothing up.

I don't understand this move from Piastri - are not we going for WDC as well ?
