2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Looked a good lap from lando on his second run. Others can't seem to get a second lap out of the tires.
He also lifted slightly somewhere on the run to the finish line.

Looks like you said, Lando lifted in the last part of the lap, allowing George to have a better time on that last part.

Wind has picked up. Let's hope for a normal sprint qualifying and if it rains let's hope Mclaren do the right thing this time compared to last year.

Yes also cloud cover and much cooler.

If things go our way things could get very interesting.

[Marc.W]

That's a statement

[Mcl_G10]

Wow lando. Save it for when it matters most!

[Darth-Piekus]

Now that statement both drivers have to repeat it two more times and if possible from the first lap in Q2 and Q3 to avoid weather changes like last year. First of all we need Piastri on P2 behind P1 Norris so he can't be more than 5 tenths away. I have a feeling Lando has found a way to step up his game while Oscar became stagnant. I hope he makes me eat my words.

That is acceptable for Oscar. Now on to repeat the 1-2 at the first lap in Q3 to avoid any weather shenanigans.

Piastri in not S&&t shock.

Really good pace from Lando and Oscar there, wasn't expecting McLaren to be that rapid.

[Darth-Piekus]

Bravo Oscar. That is the Piastri I would like to see and I am glad he made me eat my words. Congratulations again. 1-2. The car is on a league of it's own and tomorrow let's gather as many points as possible.

Tomorrow let's not overdo it on the start. Focus on the WCC and if the WDC comes even better. Whoever turns first on turn 1 then let him win.

[Marc.W]

That's what we needed, I don't mind Piastri in front, even if he finishes ahead tomorrow it wont be bad, hopefully Leclerc can provide some form of defense on Verstappen

[McL-H]

Great to have Oscar back up there. It is of vital importance to both our championship chances. We need a 1-2 tomorrow with Norris on 1.

[Venturiation]

They need to talk about the start for tomorrow so Lando can get ahead and piastri slows down verstappen

[Darth-Piekus]

My opinion is focus on the WCC. No need to play the No.1 and No.2. If Lando can pass Oscar he has to work it himself. After all I don't think 1 point difference might count.

[SilviuAgo]

Really happy not only with the result, but with the form McLaren is showing. I think tomorrow is about the team, with P1-P2 (doesn't matter the order) helping WCC.
On Sunday will be a diffrent picture and think there Oscar should help Lando, if the case.

[venkyhere]

car is 0.25s faster than the best qualifier on the grid in a ferrari, over a 69 second lap.
There is atleast 0.6s-0.7s advantage in race pace in this car. Minimum.

If Norris doesn't grab 8+26 points over this weekend, it will be a tragedy.
