2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

I'm not sure because I've never seen something like this judged before in Formula 1.

Me neither...

Lando was told by his race engineer to slow down,

they say he wasn't, and as lando came in pits he told pits he had a yellow - that's when they apologised, saying "they shouldn't have done that"

He wasn't told to slow down. But he did lift a little. Mistake made shortly before was a reasonable time loss unfortunately and not related to Yellow Flags as far as I can see.

It seems linked though, as he had the yellow immediately prior to the corner. I think it's all one of the same.

Unfortunately not.



Sorry Ben, no yellow. He also takes the corner at full beans and it is clear he doesn't lift until 3 seconds after the corner. Unfortunately, he was not helped by the yellow and would have been fine without it. But the same goes for the mistake.

Sorry dude, he really has chalked another one up.

wtf -Mclaren have been my team for nearly 40 years pal - 30 of those were spent working for them .... fo flip yourself off

Nice. Did you work in the F1 team or at the factory if I may ask just out of curiosity.

[geogate]

factory, about 1990 to 2010

sorry, thats 20 year, I was a bit riled

Have you met the drivers of the past? I mean have they ever visited the factory?

[geogate]

yeah of course mate, plenty times they at factory - only driver that was a bit up himself was Andretti, but even he was all that bad -dont wanna clog up thread with this though, sorry, people

Golden years. We're thankful you're here, sorry for the unruliness of some here!

A sliver of good news is the new floor on the Red Bulls hasn't cured their problems, Max is complaining bitterly about the rear end. We knew Ferrari would be good here so it's game on still. Maybe the calls for Oscar to be a door mat will quieten down just a little bit....

damn, I just meant to edit my spelling, I think I should have one my afternoon naps huh

Karun's explanation of the yellow flag

https://dubz.co/c/571a8d

Yellow flag went well before the corner 4 seconds after it went off, he get's the corner wrong and also lifts on the straight when he sees Ocon with no yellow flag.

I'm not sure that the yellow was the cause for the corner, I do expect him to still be able to make that corner. It's unfortunate, but he then lifts because he sees a slow car and puts the nail in the coffin.

Fair play for safety first, but I think he was very overcautious here and I think the mistake was genuine.

Not only this. Looking at the telemetry Lando has not lifted before the corner one bit and the mistake is clearly on his exit and the fact that he then lifted again.

[mwillems]

I must have missed where Oscar left McLaren then.

Ignore list and report, please don't feed it, it encourages it.

Although, it is amusing to see my name pronounced with a German accent.

It's amazing how dumb you are to mistake Tomsk for Germany

I didn't, you put a spelt my name wrong and put a "v" in it

Mvillems, Emag, Geogate are not McLaren fans, they jerk off to Oscar.

Breaking my own advice here, but that one was too ironic to pass.

[Darth-Piekus]

No worries but I don't see a problem mentioning stories from the factory. It's a Mclaren thread after all. Still now that you mentioned it in another reality we could have been part of the same team. I started carting at the age of 5 back in 1989 in the dream of becoming the next Mclaren champion as Senna was my idol. Unfortunately Greece has no sponsors or any kind of support regarding racing and being a Mclaren F1 driver became an impossible dream. Now I'm just an accountant working for a company.

Will Joseph was reported as apologising on radio. Another example of unclear line of communication which doesn't happen between Oscar and Tom.
