I suppose it would depend on which driver you ask. 

I'm sure Lando is happy as the trailing in points driver to be able to fight his teammate for wins...but still kind of pissed that he, as the more experienced driver, wasn't the clear #1 from when Oscar was a rookie.

I'm sure Oscar thinks his much improved Saturday results and race consistency should have earned him priority...but is also glad, as a 2nd year driver, that team orders weren't put in place from Race 1. 

Not saying McLaren is handling it will, but there's also not a clear answer either.

 

 

Yeah, I can see that angle. If I’m McLaren they have 2 good drivers in the fastest car so no more papaya and let the best man win.

Cant find a full list of lap times by driver for the past race, but Oscar was absolutely hunting down Norris before the pit decision. 

That was tire wear I think.  When they both had new sets, Lando pulled away again.

Lando pulled away in clean air when Oscar was forced to fight Charles the first 4 laps after Charles got around him at the start, compromising his tires as Max just left Norris in the dust.  Norris had the tire advantage between the two and was still significantly slower at the end of the stint

Pirelli completely fucked over this race by going a compound too hard. Rinse. Repeat. 

Yep. The hard could have done a full race distance pretty eassily imho. Stupid.

Not sure which was crazier about Clark's career.

His win percentage or the amount of races he competed in over multiple classes.   He wasn't flying on a private jet or taking a modern train.

this is pretty good. a relaxed side of Max that we never see.

@PittsburghTiger Thanks for posting this!  Great watch.  I have come around a bit on Max.  He let it be seen that he is still mortal after his last win on the podium.  

I saw that a couple weeks ago.  I like how Max, at the end, mentioned that he doesn't normally like to do press, but he enjoyed that one.

I'm a Mustang guy and now have two in the family, that GTD is pretty, pretty cool.

That was a really good video.  I laughed at him talking about naming cars.  "I only named my 2023 car, I think he deserved it."

Red Bull was so impressed with Lindblad ending three other drivers races in the Monza F2 race and sitting 7th in the F2 championship that they just had to rush him up to F1 right now. And also disrupting an amazing season for Hadjar in the process and forcing him to acclimate to an extremely difficult car mid-season. Helmut Marko must have a fetish for ruining promising racing careers. It's the only explanation.

This is for next year though? I haven’t seen anything indicating that there is any swapping to be done this year.

You're right. I saw some YT short that said it was this year. I should know better than to trust some of shitty sources/AI crap.  

 

Still not sure my point changes much. Lindblad does not look ready for F1, and moving Hadjar seems like he'll join the long list of quality, promising drivers RB ruins/sets back about 5 years.

That I do agree with.

How are there not more stray cats hanging out at paddocks on race weekend?  I've seen more of that dang cat today!  Pretty sure every single team has posted him at least once, as has F1 and at least 3 other F1 focused accounts.  They act like it's the 1st cat they've ever encountered.

 Not at an F1 race but I saw these three hanging around the Erwin Center back in the day...

Was Ferrari teasing me today?   Leclerc can drive the fuck out of Baku.  I can’t spell Azerbaijan.  Well, apparently my iPad can.  Lol

This qualifying is ridiculous. Multiple red flags. Will probably take 1:45 to complete.

Yes

Lando had a great chance to start on the front row and potentially make up most of the points to Piastri in one race. Then qualifies 7th.

Challenging conditions, to be sure, but Liam Lawson figured them out.

woof.  The chick in the stands w/ the sign: Ferrari is my Red Flag = absolute perfect representation of the tifosi.

The obvious answer is that after Oscar put his car in the wall, Lando was told it would only be fair if he fucked up his Q3 runs. 

Piastri is a disaster today. At least he didn't take anybody with him.

...that's the best he could do?! Oscar crashes out on lap 1, and you can't pass Yuki or Lawson? In that McLaren?! 😂😂😂

Bout to find out just how strong a 31pt lead is... 😂😂

Pretty strong when you only make up 6 points of it after the points leader crashes out on lap 1. Awful weekend for McLaren.

Williams with a podium and 101 points is awesome. Good for them and great for Carlos. 

I am in NYC this weekend and got a chance to see some yesterday and watched to about Lap 36 today.   Was kind of glad to see Max dominate. Not a great outcome for Lando.

On the walk back from Mass at St Patrick’s I saw six Mexican guys attempt to set a homeless guy and his housebox on fire. Kind of a shitty start to the day.

There was some Mexican festival or protest or something. A large police presence.

About that thought that Oscar not finishing a race had a very small chance of happening?

This is why we love sport and why I hate all the fucking predictive analytics.  

Truly amazing Lando couldn't do more with the opportunity. 

Hard to believe they find a way to cock up what should be a compelling fight for the drivers' championship.

It's so good

 

 

Edited by NoName

If there were 5-6 more races instead of 3, it might have ended up a 3 driver fight for the championship.

hate to say it but it has been a boring year and I'm shocked it is almost over.

 

Bring on the new regs

 

and once again, all three compound tires could finish the race with little deg.  Do better

There are 7 left. If Max wins out he can take it. I almost want him to with the shit show McLaren has become.

Damn,  Horner almost with a Jimbo level buyout though Red Bull is doing better without Christian than the Ags without Jimbo.

NGL. I have a man crush on number 55. His hair is amazing.

The math is a little too tight, unfortunately. 

If Max wins all 7 races and 3 sprints remaining, he'll finish with 454 points.

If Lando finishes 2nd in all of those, he'll finish with 446 points. 

If Oscar finishes 3rd in all of those, he'll finish with 447.

There's obviously a much, much better chance that Oscar does better than averaging 3rd in the remaining races (his average finish is 2.4 this season) than Max running the table. 

The only realistic chance Max has is at least one more DNF from Lando and at least two from Oscar.

Holy complicated sentence.  I think what you mean is that Red Bull is better off without Horner than aggy is without Jimbo?

I think your translation is correct.  Clearly you speak jive.

I don't think Max will win Singapore.  The car has never liked that track, even when it was dominant.  If he does, shit might just get interesting especially if Piastri doesn't get it together.  I think Lando would wilt if it did come down to himself and Max.

Edited by kevwun

Yeah, we have been at a few tracks in a row that have probably flattered the Red Bull a bit and nullified the McLaren’s strengths.


Even if that weren’t the case, it would still take a lot more bottling by McLaren for them to mess it up that badly.

They have done it before, though.
