2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

The pace was there, but Lando stinked it up when he had to put a lap in.

In the same period we were 0.7s off to Leclerc. Whats the question?

They weren't 0.7s off Leclerc. Leclerc set the laptime later. With tires that had done 2 fast laps already, Oscar was P3 and 0.2s off. Lando messed up the final corner and is out. Pretty simple.

At least nobody can say McLaren lost the WDC for Lando. He does not deserve it this year.

No! They both was in theirs 2nd lap in the first stint when the diff was 0.7s

Not sure he made a mistake, but he did have a yellow flag in s3.

He literally ran wide on the kerb out of 16.

Because he lifted due to the yellow flag.

I don't know why you're fixated on the yellow flag. Look at him on the media pen, he is on the verge of crying. He knows he messed up. Check the lap again, he was going full speed out of 16 but he messed up and ran wide. The lap was gone by that point, Kimi lost the pole a couple of years back doing the same.

Was Ocon on sector 3? Was the yellow flag on sector 3?

"The team is trying to figure out what happened. Lando caught a yellow flag at the very end of his lap. It looks like the yellow was waved as OCO slowed to get out of Lando's way. He'll have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

What an unlucky weekend. Hopefully the car is super fast tomorrow and Lando does a special race for damage limitation.

There was a yellow flag - stop stirring stuff up.

Laughable how fickle certain people are here blaming Lando and saying he’s not worth given it was due to a yellow flag on his second run which by the RULES means he has to lift

Not sure, he lifted due to yellow flag.

I believe the yellow flags were there because of his mistake in the last corner. He made it because he was pushing, and if the flags were before this point, he would be slower and wouldn't make it

[FittingMechanics]

Was Ocon on sector 3? Was the yellow flag on sector 3?

Yes. Maybe next time before you post find out what happened.

[Ben1980]

I guess in one way it was unfortunate. But that's the risk.

[chengzhongyi2013]

There wasnt any accident on sector 3. He didnt need to slow. He made yet another mistake.

Ocon caused a yellow and Lando had to lift.

It is not the first time that Ocon has caused a yellow in the last sector this week, that has affected Lando (first time was in FP3).
Assuming Ocon's telemetry is available, is there any recourse that Mclaren has against Ocon?
Also, what was Ocon's reason for slowing down so much?

[Emag]

I don't care for the yellow flag, I care for the mistake. He has done this way too often this year. If there wasn't a yellow, he would have still been out in Q1 running wide on the kerb like that. You don't just drop laptime there, but you carry losses all the way through the straight. It's a huge mistake to make.

He was going then had a yellow flag and had to lift. He's annoyed but this was just very unfortunate timing.

He had to lift and as someone said had a slow Ocon in front of him.

But, that's ignoring that the reason he went was in trying to lift as he had a yellow flag and Ocon. Just very unlucky.

That was after he lifted, the lap was already gone.

[mwillems]

Personally I'm confident the team will do the talking when it matters and deliver another 1-2.

It's time for Qualifying. Let's go and do the first part of our job by getting the 1-2. Let's go Mclaren.

Oh dear!

The yellow was for Ocon right in front of Lando it seems.
