@chrisclermont456 Well said

[@raid8769]

Brit here. I find it ironic that people are now calling for team orders when their favourite driver is clearly too slow. Peter Windsor said that Oscar should "want to win fair and square" and beat Lando on track without team orders at Hungary and Cameron signed off on it. Now all of a sudden you want team orders Cameron (and presumably Peter when they do their podcast)???? So that the driver you want to see lift the WDC wins? Team orders exists only to mask the inadequacies of the driver, to make the number 1 driver's life easier. Who cares about easy? I thought people wanted to see hard but fair racing on track? All I hear is how everyone is so "soft" and F1 is "flotsam and jetsam" but now that Lando didn't have the pace to win, you want Mclaren to artificially alter the standings to favour the slower driver? Favouring the slower driver that cannot start an F1 Grand Prix to save his life through team orders is the "softest" thing you can do. I like you Cameron but this is nonsense good sir. Blame Lando for not getting it done of the start. Blame Lando for not having the pace to catch and overtake his teammate in equal machinery. Blame Lando for not making the correct call to gamble on the 1 stop strategy. Too much of the blame is going to the team here. If he is truly WDC material, he will get the job done and all Lando has done is prove time and time again that he is simply not that guy (yet).

nicely said, but lando misses 10 points now, points that he might very well need to beat max at the end of the road. If they fail to beat max with 5 points difference, what will they say then? Well, at least we played it fair for both our drivers?

[@raid8769]

@@jengar6258 I do see that point but to be honest, if Lando loses by 10 points then it's mainly on Lando, not the team. The team is at fault for the mess at Hungary sure. But Lando has had many chances to win races that he hasn't due to mistakes, failed starts and bad strategy calls. He started on the front row in Belgium and Max down in 14th or something and he still loses ground to Max despite being in the better car. That is simply not acceptable. Today, Norris was not held up by Piastri or anything like that, he messed up the start and allowed Oscar to pull of an incredible move around the outside on him and didn't have the pace in the dirty air afterwards. That's on him, not Mclaren. He didn't deserve 2nd today.

[@IDontTalkToCops]

@@Cameron-Cc Stay with me here Cam. Without getting too techy, these are just the simple facts… Over the previous 6 races, (and we’ll go with 6 races as that’s how long it’s been since Max has won), Lando has scored 91 points. Max has scored 84 points. A points differential of a measly 7 points in 6 races. Lando after Monza, with only 9 races remaining, is still 62 points behind Max! Over the same period of 6 races, Oscar has scored 110 points, more than any other driver on the grid. Now compare Oscar’s 110 points to Lando’s 91 points. A differential of 19 points favouring Oscar over Lando. And 26 points more than Max. (Opposed to Lando’s 7) Keeping these facts in mind, do you honestly think that Oscar should now quit racing Lando for the remainder of the year? Do you think that would be good for McLaren, or for f1 in general? Do you think it would be great for the fans and make for better racing? A better spectacle for those watching around the world?

@@RehanX44 That's exactly what it means in F1 you moron. When you can win the championship and your teammate can't, then you help your teammate. Oscar cost Mclaren a win today and Mclaren is costing Lando a driver's championship when Max's car is terrible.

[@snivels]

I don't quite agree with you on the McLaren thing. They are letting their racers race, and I think that is a good thing, regardless of the championship. We have gotten used to this team orders bullshit over the years, and I'm quite tired of it actually. Letting competition by without a fight? This is supposed to be the most competitive racing series on the planet. Your teammate is your biggest RIVAL, not your friend. Yes it's a team sport, but it's an anomaly in that it's also an individual sport. At the end of the day it's not a "race" if people are just letting their teammates by, instead of putting up a fight in equal machinery. We always complain about not seeing drivers compete in equal machinery and are now complaining when we do get a chance to see it? Come on

McLaren lied to Lando at Hungary. This is not on Lando. Why should Lando go into Monza turn 1 worrying about his teammate. If it isn't obvious, Oscar is the golden boy. Like when Kimi didn't realize Vettel was the #1 at Ferrari.

[@Jalopezlag]

Are you delusional 😂

[@raid8769]

"Why should Lando go into Monza turn 1 worrying about his teammate" Are you having a laugh? Now Lando fans think that Lando has earned the right to become so entitled that his faster teammate shouldn't fight him and protect him like a little baby for the whole 50 laps? What a joke. The faster driver finished ahead which is how F1 should be.

[@geomission]

@@raid8769 Yes, at race 1, 2 or 3. But you don;t do this in a title fight when you're trying to catch Max. There were days when Schumacher, Vettel, Hamilton weren't the fastest but their team mate inverted to preserve the title fight.

[@raid8769]

@@geomission If Lando wants to catch Max, he should hold/gain positions of the start, not lose positions every. single. time. The last person to have consistent woeful starts was Lewis in 2016 and guess what....he lost that championship. He should also make WDC level strategy calls like Hamilton or Verstappen did at Britain. He is not championship material right now. And yes I know previous greats have benefited from team orders which I personally don't like, too artificial. The quickest driver on the day should win, simple as that. That is what F1 should be.

Judging how Lando is being cocky lately, I bet in their meetings he said the faster driver should always gets the win, this is what most people doesn’t know, he is getting what he asked for. That’s why the team won’t make team orders, and Lando knows it

[@yolandalindsay8368]

As pole sitter the first strategic move Lando made was to create a block in the path of his teammate Oscar. This would open the door for Russell to box him in completely. However, Oscar made sufficient room for himself by nudging Russell to his left, which eventually opened the way to some clean air. In the process of doing all this escaping to the open air, we got to see him seize the opportunity to challenge his teammate one on one. Decisive, timely & assertive action made it possible for him to go from second to first place rather than from second to the foreseeable third place behind Russell. The objective of every champion DriVer is to oVertaKe All Opponent.

[@Azmania3000]

Oscar still needs to learn a little more about his tyres. Then he can tell the basketcase strategists at McLaren to flog off when they make useless pit calls

I’ll say this; We all just need to chill. None of us know what happened behind closed doors after that position swap for Oscar’s win.
