Is McLaren the best team out there right now? - Mika Häkkinen Formula 1 2024 Mid-Season Analysis #2

[@KatyFernandez-ee8cz]

I've been supporting Lando since his junior categories and is super proud of him. He's only going to get better.

[@adityabagchi3334]

Thank you Mika for your words of confidence.

[@kubilayvergili]

Thank you Mika!

[@rajvirmanku1216]

Thank you for this Mika. It’s good to see that you alongside many greats still believe in him regardless of all the slander he’s been getting online

[@McLMP4-22]

Remember last year when McLaren were still struggling, and Mika said by mid-season they’d be fighting Red Bull, and everyone called him insane? Now look where McLaren is at.

[@Sam7my1ed]

So basically for him Oscar Piastri, the best driver in McLaren, is invisible.

[@sashaweedon4254]

Want to back your statement up with evidence of him being the best right now? He’s good, there’s no doubt about that but he still has a lot to learn. So does Lando but at the moment Lando is the only one in contention for the WDC.

[@riteshrohan4871]

​@@sashaweedon4254Lando 151 points in the last 10 races while Oscar has 149 (Also there were a couple of races where he was in 1st or 2nd but was allowed to be undercut by everyone). There was 1 circuit where he was second and everyone double stacked while he was left out for 3-4 laps, by the time he pitted everyone had passed him and he came out in 6th or so

@Sam7my1ed If you listened to his comments, he clearly answered questions. We as audience just aren't privy to what those questions were but clearly first one was about Lando and second one about McLaren being back on top. It's not his fault he wasn't asked about Oscar. And that's clearly true non-regardles of what anyone thinks about Oscar.

The McLaren is back to being The McLaren we knew. The McLaren at the peak of performance.

[@McLMP4-22]

The only thing missing is a grey/silver livery plus a certain OCD team principal in charge.

[@villiamvankekem3693]

Lando is soft in the head. Max will beat him if his car isn't at least .3 faster.

[@Foxvalleyproduction]

McLaren don't even know how to win as a team. Piss on points. Management sucks at McLaren

[@cwmorph1959]

Mika mentions the "team" a lot but totally forgot to mention that there are two cars and two drivers in that garage. Where was the BALANCE when Piastri was totally silenced from the narrative. Lando, Lando, Lando for the first 50%. Was there even ONE image of Piastri's 81 car? Surely, constructors of videos like this know that there is an international audience, not just UK centric. Very very poor amateur video with Mika raving on nostalgically like ex politicians and burnt out athletes who still want attention. Very poor.

[@sashaweedon4254]

Piastri is good. I like him. So do many others. The fact remains that he isn’t in the hunt for the WDC right now and that has to be taken into account
