2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

It was sheer dumb luck that we got time to swap after Hulkenberg parked the Haas. So many times we have seen race control throw VSC virtually immediately.

Poor poor race management by team. Why can’t they give that “swap positions” message early on when we had a gap to Leclerc?

It almost seems like they are afraid of upsetting Piastri. I mean, what’s the point? It’s not like Piastri is in the fight for WDC and literally everyone was expecting the swap.

Piastri was quicker. Whether that was just because he had clean air or not I dont know, but the constructors is far from won, a 1-2 in any order is the priority. For same reason, for once Im hoping Max dosnt get a penalty as thats more points to ferrari

Thank you Oscar!

Personally I am satisfied that all well that ends well. 1-2 with Norris and Piastri with Max under investigation and Horner crying again.

It's a good result, now to see what comes of Verstappen's VCS infringement. Maybe the result gets even better.

[Darth-Piekus]

In the meantime I am reading bs from individuals that the FIA are suddenly pro Mclaren due to the VSC appearing after Norris passed Piastri. The fact that it might have been a random event escapes them.

In the meantime can't Karun Chanhok not bootlick so much? What kind of excuse is Max first pushed for a pass but then he saw the VSC sign and pulled back. Isn't the rule clear?

Even when Oscar gives the win to his teammate there will be haters. Congratulations McLaren for another 1-2!

[Darth-Piekus]

That is true. Isn't that what Mclaren needed? An 1-2 with Norris first who needs the points and Piastri second. Does it matter how they did it or that they made it? We can all say what could happen and if my grandma had wheels she would be an f1 car.

Good job team Mclaren. Head down, on to the next one.

Thought they did quite well. It was clear the pace between the 3 teams was similar, until Ferrari dropped off. That made it hard to swap easily.

But, that RB pace did show that all the talk of them struggling isn't quite right.

[Ben1980]

Seen lots of calls about the VSC. I'm not sure those complaining always want a VSC when a car is off.

[Darth-Piekus]

For some reason there is a lot of talk about that VSC coming out after Lando passed Oscar and they are leaving claims that it was intentional or something to help Mclaren.

5 second penalty for Max, another point gained in the WDC! He also got another penalty point and is now on 7 for the 12 month period.

+1 for WDC
-1 for WCC
