This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
What Lando says here is one of the worst takes you can have after a day like this. I don't know who let him loose on the media pen without a PR person guiding him beforehand, because comments like this are embarrassing.
Max can be a bit of a prick with his tactics on-track at times, but credit where credit is due, the guy is always respectful of rival's performances. This reaction by Lando is that of a spoiled man-child and a bit of a sore loser as well.
Just take it on the chin and move on. The title was not lost today, there were many missed opportunities throughout the year and only one of them could be blamed on Max. The rest should be used for self-reflection.
When he says things like this, he is pretty much inviting all the toxic people to plaster him in social media. And honestly, it's tough to argue against them on this case.
I’d like to see a little more context to the question In another interview Lando said us Max started near them he probably would’ve lapped them. I didn’t like the interview when I heard it but wonder if it was taken out of context a little

I think you are reading too much into it. I think Lando shouldn't have said that for sure, especially after the lost places at each restart today, but he's just talking about winning the gamble of the red flag and he is right on that imho. Max went from a likely last place to change tires after SC, to a 2nd place in restart. It didn't take any skill and took instead Colapinto crashing for a red flag.

I saw this.
Don’t think he’s saying Max isn’t talented and just lucky he means there is no talent in guessing or ‘knowing’ when a red flag will be it just all luck.
Also the guy is disappointed. He’s never going to please everyone with how he reacts.

There's probably a sensible halfway house, but between stopping giving a crap what people think and saying he's not good enough, I prefer today's take.
Think it was more denial over his own mistakes than casting aspersions on Max.
It just comes out a bit wrong. He is not wrong, but if he would have said something like 'They got it right, we called it wrong, sometimes you need a bit of luck" he would have said exactly the same, but it would have sounded a whole lot better.
Emag I don't think Lando said anything wrong here. Max drove masterfully here and that is tue but the Red Flag saved him as under normal circumstances he would have been a lot of places behind after his pit stop having to deal with the dirty air of many cars needing to pass them and as we saw from the Ferrari of Leclerc he wouldn't be able to. Also I don't want to play devil's advocate but I will. Back at Miami Lando Norris beat Max Verstappen on a 20 lap battle and gaped him by 15 seconds masterfully yet the hypocrites in the media screamed luck back then due to exploiting a SC. I find it unfair these same people treating the same situation differently now. It is unfair for Lando Norris.

Good thing out of this weekend is that we increased the distance from Ferrari from 29 to 36 points.
Norris might still have to eat another penalty for the start procedure infringements. I'd be surprised it it stays at 36.
Whatever penalty he gets, both VCARB cars are also going to get, so at worst he drops behind Oscar.
I wonder whether, given there was no competitive advantage gained, maybe it might be a fine, rather than a time penalty.
Yeah I'm excited to see what it ends up being. I think a 10 second penalty is most likely, but it could realistically be anything from a fine to a full blown DQ. I think the fact that people followed him will be considered mitigating, but if he did it alone I genuinely believe an outright DQ would have been the penalty.

If they get disqualified then it’s a 2 point gain for Ferrari today
