Lando also was missing a few bits today compared to Carlos (the side pod deflectors) because the team only had one set ready for the weekend... Both should have it next week.

You can do everything under red. So stroll will have new tires.
That's such BS.
The rule exist because a Red Flag comes out after severe accidents and there could have been debris on the track... That’s the intention of the rule, to allow the teams to fix the cars due to this

Retire if the car if it is broken. Change tires? add +24 seconds(or whatever the pit time is at that track) for a pitstop to the start.

I’m not arguing if the rule is good or not... I’m just stating why it exists.

Yeah, red flag should probably be suspension of the race, you can't do any changes, but I guess the idea behind the red flag is when major crashes occur where bunch of cars gets damaged, forcing all of them to wait and lose minutes of time to the leaders would lead to worse racing.

I guess just the tire compound change should be banned.

One time you lose by it, next time you gain by it
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

On one hand the record of the MP4-4 will remain after that. However on the other hand I feel so mad that we were denied the win by the FIA deciding that easy red flag and then letting Gasly changing a million directions when Hamilton was told not to do that again back in 2010. Still I believe we will have that opportunity to gain that win hopefully next year with the Mercedes Engine.
Mate, you really need to chill out! Myself like you are a McLaren fan of course would rather see McLaren and sainz on the top step but it wasn’t to be! Even with gasly’s changing of directions it wasn’t enough today, whether that be due to bad luck or whatever. McLaren are on the up and moving forwards just be pleased with that. Your comments after every race are so draining whether it be about Gasly’s weaving this week or ‘tracing points’ cheating! Let’s just focus on McLaren and their success!!
This. :!:
I agree

Yeah, the best thing for tyres would be you must replace with the same compound under a red flag - but then you run into problems if the team has none left, etc.

So so close, but I'm still pleased as we had the pace to finish P2 and P3 today if there was not a red flag.... The start by both SAI and NOR was amazing, great work team we will win again! Mclaren 4LIFE

Exactly... It just didn’t work in our favor this time.

I understand the little disappointment after been so close to a win... But, the team is more P3 than ever in the WCC and we took great advantage on a weekend where the points where up for grabs... All in all a lot of reasons to celebrate!

You just allow teams to change tyres if they want but only like for like. Stroll would have had to stop again and not had a rather unfair podium.

Was an amazing result but tinged with a little disappointment. Think I will get over that, nearly got exactly what the team deserved and Stroll/RP might have won which would have been a nightmare for me personally
