It's funny because they are under a legitimate threat from Ferrari in the WCC and Oscar goes and does this in Q1 ...

Horrible, just horrible.

Wow that’s a shocker they never pulled Piastri in for a new set of softs
Shouldn't need them.
I agree shouldn’t need them at all. However better to get through and then use a used set of softs for first run in Q2 rather than go out…

Piastri seems to have lost his edge when we left Europe.

Did he do the last lap on used soft?

They might as well take all new PU components and start from the back with Oscar now. At least then he might have a little more power available and get some overtakes done.
If I come across as blunt, I apologise, it's my ASD. Sometimes, like an F1 car aqua-planing, it gets out of my control.

Best result for McLaren tomorrow is Lando P1 and the Ferraris P2 & P3 and that’s far, far, far from a foregone conclusion #-o
Just a fan's point of view

Yes. They'd already done an out lap, fast lap and cool down lap. Plus I wonder if he was able to fully recharge his battery given it's a short lap.

In terms of WCC, would actually be better if it was Lando P1, Carlos P2 and George P3 lol

Yes, he did a cool down lap and went again.

Maybe that run on Mediums was a mistake, for Oscar at least. He was not up to speed to make such an "arrogance".

There were 4 minutes when he finished his invalid lap… it should have been enough for a pit and a more proper lap. At least “more proper” lap than he has done on used softs.

I've said it before, but the over praise for Oscar was just that, and probably the over reaction to some poor form will also be OTT. But he has been inconsistent, but I was disappointed in Austin and this is also disappointing.
