Exactly. It is a wing that was used in 3 races this year (Spa, Monza and Baku). In only one it resulted in a win and even that was due to sheer brilliance of Piastri and underestimation by Leclerc. If he defended Piastri probably wouldn't win.

But it is very enjoyable to see all fans of other teams throwing a tantrum.

Oscar should have won all of those races #-o

Just to briefly touch on the flexi rear wing/ rival fan axis, if you glance at the fans who are whinging the most are relatively young people, who have no doubt witnessed Hamilton/ Mercedes and Verstappen/ Red Bull win in dominant cars (barring ‘21) now that these same younger fans have only ever known Mclaren to be a midfield team at best now seem to think that McLaren can only challenge and win races by cheating, yet said fans have never witnessed McLaren dominate the sport in the past and lack the mental capacity to research when they did so and also lack the capacity to understand what McLaren have done over the last 5 seasons or so behind the senses to propel them into this winning position.
Just a fan's point of view

For lando it's do or die this weekend if he has any hope of WDC. He needs to win at all costs and hope for a p5 at best for max

He will have the car and although ferrari and merc may be strong here, mclarens all round performance should be enough if it's potential is realised on track.

I like the Papaya and White livery, it's a nice blend of Mclaren today and the Marlboro Mclaren.

Not my favourite Singapore Livery though, which was...

I've just noticed how the front wing endplate is made for the amazon logo..

I think OKX already made a Marlboro inspider McLaren livery. I guess the guy in charge really likes it.

I think the new papaya white looks really good. I wouldn't mind team moving toward that way next year but kind of unfortunate that on the real car the cooling louvers stay black

Removing the Google colours from the rims would make a big difference on this car. Would look really menacing. Wish they could go back to orange and black as they tested with for the 06 season…

It's a lot like their Spain livery last year. A bit of recycling going on :lol:

Some FIA "random" checks on F1 cars. This time was Oscar's MCL38 checked after Baku GP:

And of course, they had already protested it. As if teams were waiting for fans to tell them when to contests a competitor's cheeky part.
