2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Sainz barely making up time on Piastri.

[mwillems]

Why should we pit? PIA speed is 39.2, Sainz 39.3.

Naturally sice they undercut us, we'll match the delta for as long as we can and then come in.

[Darth-Piekus]

Let's go as much as possible cause we are gonna have a huge tyre deficit later.

[mwillems]

Nearly a second slower than Max now.

[Darth-Piekus]

Should we pit both now? The Hards should go to the end. I don't think Piastri might hold Leclerc much.

Come on Oscar. What was that? Why not cover the inside?

Ok Lando. It's hammer time. Full attack with that tyre delta.

[FittingMechanics]

Going to be tough but good job by team to offer options. Any SC or VSC would have been a massive advantage.

Now let's see whether the car comes alive at the end but I suspect by the time Norris reaches VER that the tyres will be too bad to overtake.

[Darth-Piekus]

Pity though that the stewards are giving penalties depending on who you are. Everyone got a 5 sec penalty for sending others off the track except the usual Max.

[mwillems]

Lando chasing down Max now. Even P2 could be on if all goes well.

It's absolutely ridiculous, but what can you do.

Add Tsunoda to the list of drivers penalised for forcing somebody off track.

[Darth-Piekus]

You can't do much I suppose. It is what it is. All we have to do for next year is give Lando a car that will be so far in front that Max won't be able to do anything.

[SmallSoldier]

Last lap for Lando is a 1:38.0…. That’s an impressive lap time… They are coming back and Max is at play, Carlos might probably be too if he needs to nurse his tires

[Ben1980]

Oscar needs to get a move on to Max.

[genarro]

Lando will have to be super careful when passing Max. Max really is that stupid to prowoke a crash

[Mcl_G10]

Pray for safety car

[Darth-Piekus]

We need a safety car to spice things up.
