2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

The thing is that if Max braked earlier as he should do to take the apex then he would have been behind.

By the way? How did the appeal go? Did they rejected it or is there a possibility that the unfair penalty could be overturned?

Video meeting at 2.30pm Mexico time - so somewhere between fp1 and fp2.

I see. I hope they give it their all to remove that penalty or at least make Max get also a 5 second penalty since he was the one that forced another car off the track considering he never managed to turn the apex and he was with all 4 wheels out of bounds. That will bring Max to 5th behind Piastri while Norris will be third. I don't believe they are gonna change their decision as this will make them loop like clowns in the eyes of the world but it will send the message that Mclaren won't be like Mercedes to accept thievery.

Interesting, they told the same thing to Pato earlier in the session too. This is the first low downforce track since Baku. Maybe running some tests to see how much they have lost on the straights without DRS now that the wing was forced to be changed?

[Balalu]

And they didin't even investigate t1, lap1, simply because it was t1, lap 1, which shoulden't be.

For such a high caliber organization, the stewards are a mess.

When will things change? After a driver, God forbid, gets maimed or killed?

Kudos for Max for getting away with it, simply because he knows he can. But one day, the stars will align, and...

Simple. As this kind of driving is legal one day either one of the current drivers or the next generation will come to F1 and there will be a driver driving exactly like that but on a team opposite to Max and Red Bull. Suddenly Max will be facing a clone of him driving exactly the same way. Mathematically it's bound to happen. Are they gonna continue treating it as hard driving with the same energy?

Was this for all laps? Or have they used DRS since?

The next lap the mesaage was "DRS is ok to use". So only for one lap the no drs instruction.

floor swap for Pato? old to new or new to old?

Old to new based on TeamStream it seems

Not sounding too good on Oscars radio.

Impressive job from Pato. Watching also the onboards and he is speaking so well with the pit, asking for feedback, proposing some approach in lap deploy. What a driver!

What’s he saying?
His long run at the end of FP1 was terrible

He was asked if he wants a new go on soft tire or to switch to continous laps. He said "I don't know to be honest. It still feels terrible!"

Oh right, yea heard that.
Looks like they need some set up changes again, he certainly didn’t look quick in that particular session

[Mcl_G10]

They were asking if he wanted to go again on the softs or onto the hards and he said he doesn't know and that's it still feels abit terrible (along those lines)
