2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Disapointing there is no race for 4 weeks!

My wife, is not disappointed.

[Ground Effect]

That was a amazing performance by Lando and the team. Great recovery drive from Oscar as well, building up that WCC lead. There was a point early on where Lando was maintaining around 1.8secs gap to Max and was told he could up the pace and he just left Max in the dust. That was incredible.

In that case go look the 1997 Williams with its asymmetrical braking and the 1998 Mclaren with the 3rd pedal. They've been illegalised then and pretty sure another form of the same system isnt any different.

No-one is saying asymmetrical braking is not illegal, we are saying there is no proof, none, that it was on the Red Bull. There is just as good an argument for it being on the Mercedes, which no-one is seriously suggesting either.

Why do you need Red Bull to have been cheating? Isn't it better that McLaren are now beating them on merit without the need for any conspiracy??

Lando destroyed Max today. If Oscar had started a bit farther up and put some pressure on Max I think he could have pushed Max into a big mistake.

[McG]

Probably the same people with alt accounts that say "Max is by far the best". Seriously go and look at the Red Bull thread

Weird all these people just randomly pop in into McLaren thread with 'Lando is not good enough to win WDC'. I am not sure what the purpose of such messages is?

Max destroying one McLaren on the track was extraordinary.

the cope is strong

Max destroying the other McLaren on the track was extraordinary.

Christ on a bike, this place went f*cking nuts over the past 3 hours

Aa I said earlier, brilliant drive by Lando, good recovery by Oscar.

Probably we should all give a shout out to the strategists who helped Oscar to his podium.

I can almost smell the WCC ..

By Lando? Nearly binned couple of times during the race. Luckily he had enough of a gap. Weirdly I expected him to save tyres for the end to bang a FL but that didn’t happen. That point could be valuable.

Everyone was sliding here and there. The main job was to bring the car home.

He can't accept that Red Bull are simply having trouble.

[Darth-Piekus]

Ah yes. Red Bull magically lost a 0.8 sec advantage over Mclaren after Miami and then is 0.5 at a disadvantage for some reason other than the asymmetric braking being removed. Look nobody wants anyone to be cheating but you cant help it. Red Bull is full of controversy. Budget gate, Abu Dhabi fix, Horner gate, Jos vs Red Bull, asymmetric helping wheels, special rules for Max. Take your pick.

The only one making mistakes iwth a healthy lead was Norris, it was actually a pretty poor performance brushing those walls and the lockup with the front wing damage. Poor mistakes with 0 pressure.

[Emag]

It's unfortunate that it is very unlikely to happen at this point, but I really hope Lando wins it just to rub it in the face of all of these salty fans who can only get satisfaction out of the sport when their favorite team/driver is winning or by sh*tting on the competition when they aren't.

I don't even think Lando deserves it if we are going from a pure race conversion/maximizing point of view, but man would it be funny to see the total meltdown and the cope all over the social media calling Lando an unworthy WDC at the end of the season

[Darth-Piekus]

Max fans coming here talking about mistakes? Remember 2021 when Hamilton made Max lose a 40 points advantage with a lot of mistakes? What about Miami and Austria when Max had the lead? Hungary?

Lets not talk about how the Dutch is the FIA's golden boy escaping race bans and penalties for various schennanigans.
