We’ve got to give a shout out to Max’s reaction to the “would lando have won if not for the safety car.” Max- “ if my mum had balls she would be my dad.” Hahahaha love max and landos friendship. Beyond happy for landos win.

[@luckyspurs]

Was lovely seeing Verstappen and Hamilton both absolutely beaming like proud uncles at the end.

[@Gaelic-Rex]

@@luckyspurs yeah was really nice to see. LH treats him like a little brother, it’s very cute.

[@fisheatsyourhead]

Yeah max knows how it is. He gets told constantly how he wouldn't win if not for his car but he knows how much work he's put in to make the most of having a good car, so he knows the same is true of other racers if they have one thing go their way doesn't mean that it was guaranteed or not earned. I'd bet if it were at least half the grid (and probably more) in landos position they would not have won.

[@ehjhey7]

This is my favorite thing he's ever said. I properly burst out laughing as soon as he said it in the conference. Probably going to be the new go to phrase for the "If this then that" statements after races, lol

[@ComfyCatz]

This maiden win was so needed- both for Lando and McLaren as a team. I was so happy for him that I walked up and down my living room until he had finally crossed the finish line. I am afraid, that I might have woken up the sweet granny living upstairs in the middle of the night with my cries of joy, but it was totally worth it. So far, this was my favorite weekend of the season (probably slightly biased but still).

[@jacquesahlers2253]

Max biggest flop is total nonsense! So you can have 2 minutes penalty seconds and 5 points on your license and still not being biggest flop 🙂

[@LethalShadow]

IMO Biggest Flop should rightfully belong to Ricciardo after giving us hope with that Sprint performance. Going from 4th to 15th strikes me as a bigger flop than going from 1st to 2nd (purely due to a safety car).

[@ohgodno1989]

Those last fifteen laps were the longest I've ever sat through. Then Alonso started battling Ocon, Piastri started battling Ricciardo, Albon had that lockup, there was so much going on that I was on the verge of cardiac arrest

[@mustafaabbas1]

The only thing more popular than a Lando Norris win is a Kimi Raikkonen win

[@DaveCompton5150]

People who say Lando won in a straight fight are just plain wrong. Max took a standard 23s loss on his pit stop. Lando lost 9s on his pit under the safety are. If Lando had pitted under green, he would have been 11s behind Max. Granted that Lando was a bit quicker, it would have been a difficult pass to make for the win.

[@razorgxp]

In the 2 passing zones that turd burger of a track offers up.

[@RoysIdea]

And if safety car would have picked up Lando, then Lando would emerge as fifth behind Carlos and never would have won the race. So massive interference by safety car.

[@simon9548]

I think people are sleeping on the fact that before the safety car, Piastry was actually outperforming Norris in a less upgraded 2 tenths slower McLaren

[@XxMidnightRavenxX]

IMO the side by side racing from Gasly and Ocon is proof that they should get rid of the rule that states that whoever is in the lead in a corner owns the whole corner. If drivers are not allowed to run out their opponent on corner exit, the result is what we saw from the Alpine duo in this race. As we saw if the drivers care about giving space to their opponent on the corner then you get more side by side racing, which is more exciting than the DRS passes we have all become accustomed to watching.

[@matthewstreit1650]

That rule is probably more to prevent crashes than anything else. If a driver thinks they can just stick their nose anywhere and not expect to get pinched, then there will be a lot of instances where drivers will dive bomb or just not be seen, and cause a crash.

[@8tonystark8]

*If Matt had glasses he would be Tommy*

[@Adum888]

Max said after the race that he indeed was aware of perez T1 dive. He mentiond that there even is a scratch on his diffusor😅

[@DailyShit.]

We know he was aware because he saw it on camera in the cooldown room.

[@oliverhannah9355]

On the Bottas driver of the day point, I think it was a glitch. A coupple of laps earlier a graphic showed Tsunoda in second place between the two McLarens with a similar percentage of votes; Tsunoda in second makes far more sense.

[@frankhuurman3955]

there were even more glitches this weekend, like the name of one of the Ferrari family members showing up while showing Hamilton driving.

[@josephgedgaudas2892]

Wasn't Hamilton there instead of Oscar the first time they showed it?

[@adrielquiroga7901]

I do think Max sustained damage from the cone hit. His complains about the car not turning are coherent with a lack of front wing downforce. Still, it was his own fault and it doesn't take away from Lando's win. Edit: I don't think he would have won, maybe there were chances, but I agree with all of you that both McLarens had better pace, even before Max hitting the cone. I just think media and youtubers fail to mention that. It wasn't damage comparable to what Piastri had though.

[@razorgxp]

Floor damage lead to the thing having a puncture hole and flexing to spill out downforce

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

Max did have damage. but I do believe it made less of a difference people think. He wasn't able to stretch a lead against Piastri and McLaren seemed like the faster car overall. Not to mention, Max was struggling with the car since lap 1

[@user-pc3jv7se3h]

@@066kshitizvsingh4 AND Piastri had only half the upgrades, his car was said to be two-tenths slower than Lando's.

[@burritoomg]

There are pretty good signs that Lando still would've beaten Verstappen without the cone happening. 1. Once Lando was given the green light to chase down Sainz, his pace shot past Verstappen's for the rest of the race. 2. Lando was already faster than Max in laps 19 and 20 (Verstappen hit the cone in lap 21). 3. Piastri was also flashing OUTRAGEOUS speed. The three fastest laps in the GP were all set by Piastri. I hope so, at least! I'd love it if McLaren started coming to life and challenging RBR for the rest of the season.

[@BryTee]

Look closer at Piastri - from the back (P19) he battled through to P13 in 16 laps! He was 20s behind Gasly at lap 41 and made it to be behind Gasly by just 4s the end (lap 57). Kept getting the fastest lap. He was a rocket ship, if there were a few more laps, he'd have been in the points!

[@walover165]

Oscar is one of the unluckiest drivers on the grid. If Magnussen loses his mind literally two laps earlier then we're sitting around talking about Oscar's first Grand Prix win.

[@hipotenuza5663]

Oscar was on fresh medium and low fuel after the front wing change. Of course he was fast.Edit: his engineer reminded him Lando was leading the race not to cause safety car ( I also yelled at him when he battled with Daniel).

[@NCpaddockF1]

I understand people are ecstatic about lando winning and fair enough. I do agree it’s good for formula 1. But I do think everyone does need to rein in the thought of them challenging Red Bull. Yes, the McLaren was ballistic but they still need to replicate that every weekend. And imola is a normal weekend where max and co will have more time to dial the set up in.

[@vikashchandra9917]

Well, everyone will have more time to dial in. McLaren brought the updates and they also got only one session to understand and try to get it into a good window. So this argument is invalid, or at least works both ways.

[@j4s0n39]

Second, especially when it's because of safety car timing, is not a flop. If he had missed the podium based on merit, that would have been a flop.

[@user-ie5ke3uj6d]

It turned out that Max had severe damage on the floor, much more than Max anticipated.

[@halflanding1900]

About KMag penalty points, I repeat that in Jeddah he did the exact same thing as he did to Lewis in the sprint this week for which he got 3 pen pts. Only in Jeddah it was against Yuki so the FIA took no action. Had they, KMag would already have 13 pen pts. Also, Tommy, about Yuki’s SQ failure, it was due to his decision to do only one flying lap near the end of the session - only to find the track didn’t improve but deteriorated.

[@weaslepopper]

Did they say that the upgrade oackage wasn't added to Piastri's car? And he had fastest lap and great pace? My dude is definitely seems not far away from his first win.

Red Bull botched the setup on Max's car. He was going at top speed like 5 km/h slower than Checo. So while this was a refreshing race, I wouldn't get my hopes up that this means Red Bull aren't the dominant team.

[@woppiiee]

[@capricornus993]

Max himself didn’t feel the damage and felt the car wasn’t optimum throughout the race. So i don’t know how much the damage really played into their performance.

[@pedro.gandra]

People act like this RB is unbeatable, but in dozens of races since 2022 RB were actually the second fastest car or at least equal to another team. Max still won most of those races because of his riduculous consistency, but it is perfectly normal to get outpaced in specific tracks on specific conditions. Norris got lucky and used it incredibly to show that the Mclaren had a lot of pace this weekend. You just have to wonder how many times a team had pace to beat RB but comitted mistakes or had a bad qualy and couldnt prove it. That is what makes Max + RB combination so deadly. They are always maximizing what the car can do, other teams and drivers cant do that.

[@Coltwins]

I think that Zhou running the softs for 30 laps was very impressive..

[@jhromeror]

There was no one-on-one fight, McLaren had a superior car and RedBull had the second best car. McLaren had great race pace, but it is clear that it was so tight between McLaren-RedBull-Ferrari that they were not able to pass each other without external incidents.

[@klabs2434]

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

I would love to see McLaren as a championship contender versus red bull. I think Miami is a bit of an outlier considering its such a low grip track with a lot of slower corners. But I think with some proper strategy, Lando/Oscar could be in the mix very regularly. Sad about Oscars race.

[@jimmyking1205]

12:26 look at Bellinghams face 😂 "Hello darkness my old friend" gutted the RBs wings are slowly but surely being clipped. Simply lovely

there's a few things to be highlighted for this SC situation. 1. Lando did miss the pit entrance when the SC is on because he's 11+ secs faster, at that moment, I thought that's unlucky for him! 2. But on the other hand, this 11+ secs in front of MAX also let the SC deployed behind Lando and picked up MAX! basically slowing ALL cars for Lando to have a FREE pitstop, that's HUGE and Decisive! congrats Lando!

[@swatitrivedi6039]

Can we also just mention Lewis and his drive. Clearly outdrove that car. Was chasing Perez for so long. 👀

[@bill4665]

My favourite part is that it HAD to be that Lando's first win was the win that put into question Red Bull's dominance. Lando had finished 2nd to Max so much in the last 12 months that it just HAD to be his first win with the resurgence of McLaren, that would pull up all these questions of "Well Newey's leaving the Red Bull F1 Team now and already that grip looks like its slipping? Are McLaren finally gonna come through and be the ones to knock Red Bull off their throne? McLaren already have another big package in the works according to Zak Brown, could that one see them genuinely have the fastest car?" There is so much buzz. Bcs while Carlos has won twice. It's always been on weekends where Red Bull have been highly off-beat or when Max has retired. For Lando and McLaren to do it, and do it so thoroughly (7+ seconds by the end, and lapping upto 5 tenths a lap quickest of the grid with fastest lap after fastest lap and also faster than Max on 27 lap-old mediums while Max was on fresh hards) has made this not only a great statement from Lando to prove the critics wrong, but a big day for F1 as a whole. Probably the biggest win he's ever fought found himself fighting for, and it was the first one he saw through. Can't wait to see how this evolves and how this post-win-confident and hopefully less self-deturring Lando goes about his business, and how McLaren utilise upgrade packages now seeing that they've made two massive packages in 2 years, and both have payed off MASSIVELY.

[@dougcole518]

[@cattywampuswiddershins]

@@Redlingstein most definitely.

[@vincentras1991]

WDC not back on... Expect Max to win with a 30 second lead at Imola.

[@Ins0mnia365]

Sometimes your unlucky, sometimes your lucky. Now it finally felt in the good side of Lando. He deserved this win so much.

[@cy9nvs]

Sure, the safety car was a big factor, most likely the deciding factor, but in the end, there was a restart, Max was right behind him, and Lando just had the better pace with the McLaren. I'm happy he got his first win this way, a Max DNF would've probably tainted his victory a bit.

[@Shawn-ik6dr]

Annnd, as it turned out, Max DID have a seriously damaged floor from hitting the bollard. Not taking anything away from Lando but he, for a change, was the recipient of good fortune with both the timing of the safety car and a compromised Redbull.

[@roxannelyson7715]

He said in the press conference he didn't feel it and he was struggling with handling issues well before he hit it.

[@Shawn-ik6dr]

@roxannelyson7715 that might well be the case, but it would still slow the car down. I HIGHLY doubt any driver would feel 10/1000ths of a second, but they DO add up

[@illbeV.]

​@@Shawn-ik6dr You're simping too hard there, mate

[@seeyouaunty]

@@roxannelyson7715 Max pitted onto hards right after hitting the bollard and immediately started complaining about no grip. He may have associated the poor cornering performance with the change to hard compound.

[@vikashchandra9917]

After 2021, max fans have no right to complain about getting “unlucky” with safety car

[@MegaDarkness5000]

I guess Tommy is in Matt delusion, Alex Albon is the biggest flop not Max. Max getting second is not a flop.

May the 4th be with you lando 😂🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@deanmartin5578]

David coulthards comments on the alpine was my comment of the race weekend 😂

[@yureiunbound8441]

Its not that I was not happy that Lando won. I was genuinely happy and seeing his excitement brought me back to when Max wasnt always winning. No disrespect to Max, but since he has been winning nonstop him and his team dont have that hype over it anymore. Its just another day for them. Lando jumping and diving onto his team is what I have been missing. Excitement from the driver for winning. However...I also was upset for Oscar. He dropped back so far and I understand why his team didnt want to risk a safety car. But he didnt belong where he finished.

[@ccramit]

Glad he won, but I wish his first win would have come from pace, like he had at Sochi. Still happy for him though. Also, I'm kind of torn when it comes to the 2 tire compound rule happening under SC/VSC. It's such an unfair advantage. I get that it's for safety reasons in case someone gets damage during the incident, but it just seems so unfair. And on the lack of Red bull pace, I think the 1 practice session could have played a big role in that. I don't want to jump the shark and say Mclaren is on the same level as the Red Bull just yet. It could have been as simple as red bull getting their setup wrong, which has happened before. Just look at Singapore from last year.

[@Anna-gm6zy]

It turns out Max also had a chunk of damage that they didn’t know about until seeing the floor

[@britboy70]

Thankyou, excellent Podcast as always. So happy for Landos win and the bonus was that you only had to listen to 1 national anthem on the Podium. When was the last time that happened?

[@Ramrunner73]

Love P1 and these guys - but yeah when we give someone "biggest flop" when Max topped Practice 1, Sprint Qualifying, The Sprint Race, Qualifying and then is on the podium with a second and it is defined as a flop which is defined as "INFORMAL (of a performer or show) be completely unsuccessful; fail totally." then I have to personally disagree wholeheartedly. Just as feedback love the podcast.

[@AMG_Fam]

Netflix bouta a make a hell of an episode 😂

[@emilypedersen356]

First time I finally tuned into your watch-along and Lando was leading and ended up winning!! Incredible, I´m definately tuning into more watchalongs and so happy for Lando!!!! LET´S GO LANDOOO!!!

[@Jonah-Hosein]

Lets not forget max had floor damage... as stated in a report after the race by redbull themselves.

[@ElSascho]

For me as a Verstappen fan Landos win was in my Top 5 emotional momenty in recent F1 history. 2021 is the top and then the Grosjean accident 2020. After that Landos so deserved win just before Gasly winning in Monza after being demoted by RB. Ending with the departure of Vettel who i adored most after Schumacher. I loved how everybody was congratulating him.

[@stuartmckenna7979]

Let's go LANDO!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@anaf9001]

it's not only carlos who said he could have won if he had stop 1 lap later. Also the engineers, Vasseur and the telemetry said it

[@manavkumar6590]

Well clearly they’re all wrong 😂😂😂
