My husband commented during the race… “McLaren doing Ferrari things!”

[@IvanIvanov-tn2iw]

To be the fastest on the track is one thing, to get the strategy right is whole another thing. They allowed undercut 2 times while leading the race and the 2nd pit stop instead of covering Max with hard tyres the went to cover Hamilton while they already lost track position. Like they are fighting Hamilton for the championship for God's sake.

Smart guy! Keep him 😅😅 But seriously McLaren had tge race come back to them multiple times after squandering opportunities; Qualifying errors lost poke position, then rain came so they led the race, they got undercut with Norris and hung Oscar to dry (which was not possible in that rain 😅). The final two error was not pitting Norris one lap earlier and putting him on soft tyres.

That's absolutely a bad excuse. He was sick behind another Haas once again on his first stint.

[@Trendyflute]

Well said, not only was he the more confident Ferrari driver throughout, he once again proved he'll stand up to the team if he thinks they're wrong or aren't giving him the info he needs while LeClerc just rolls over and accepts bad calls...either because Charles doesn't have the strategic mind to make the good call in the first place, or he just lacks the will to stand up for himself in the moment. It's been a thing throughout his career. Being the golden boy who can extract extra tenths on a lap is meaningless if you're on a strategy bleeding many seconds.

[@NexuJin]

@@Trendyflute That's the difference in upbringing between Carlos and Charles. Carlos still has his dad, a racing driver himself, around to give him advice with his career. Charles doesn't have that any more.

[@kwizzledizzle4513]

Yup,the way he confirmed it like it was the only logical choice also shows he understands the race better than some...

[@DanielGuarino-kr4co]

I still can't believe that McLaren started off by ruining Piastri's qualifying by sending him out in traffic and having to race to the line with two other cars. And then they kept Piastri out for another lap where he lost probably 20 or more seconds which would've turned into at least a McLaren 1-3 or 1-2. He could've come out ahead of Hamilton and then Norris would've won and Piastri on the mediums was flying and he would've flown away from Hamilton or passed him within a couple laps. As an Aussie I am extremely disappointed especially because I stayed up so late at night for this.

As a McLaren fan, this race hurt to watch, especially as an Australian. Watching Oscar get completely screwed over by the strategy, despite not putting a single foot wrong all day was painful, and then fumbling the bag with Lando by being so indecisive about tyres, when it was blindingly obvious the fresh mediums would be better than used softs (Lando's engineer was so poor at communicating the situation compared to Oscar's). They threw away what should have been a 1-2, or at the VERY LEAST 1-3. They're not good enough yet

[@NexuJin]

It was crazy to see how McL completely threw the race away with what seem utter lack of any strategy to their pitstop. Even the commentators were baffled with what McL were doing. They literally calling out McL errors out live on air.

[@MrAdravix]

I think that Piastris patience and humble attitude will eventually run out with McLaren and that's when he'll turn into the championship winning monster that he's bound to become. He's getting better and better every single race and while his tyre management is still not quite up there he's made leaps since he joined F1.

As an Australian, it's becoming incredibly difficult to support McLaren. It's becoming a joke with how many times Oscar's strategy ends up costing him wins/podiums.

Mercedes: "Lewis we're thinking about boxing this lap for inters" Lewis: "No it's still dry" Red Bull to Max: "Good call on the box for inters, we timed that perfectly" Mercedes + Lewis and Red Bull + Max had excellent calls that came from both sides of the radio. I'm not sure what's happening at McLaren, sure they're a new race-win contender, but they're not a new F1 team.

[@timothyheimbach3260]

The big mistake for Lando was good fault asking for softs, but from the radio message we heard he got pretty bad info comparing the options to Lewis or Max because of you had said do what Lewis does or Max does at the end with no other context than, obviously you should cover Lewis, but they should have been thinking about the tyre way more than who was on which one.

He had better pace before the pitstop too. Caught Lando in the rain without DRS and was about to overtake him. Caught Sainz back up from a 20 second gap on inters. 2 seconds faster than Norris after the final pitstop.

[@brandonhunkin3783]

@@RockSolitudeWrong. Oscar was only 5 second behind Carlos when he came out of the pits not 20 seconds. And he struggled to overtake him even with a 2 lap tire advantage. It is unlikely that he would have been able to get passed max on the inters either which is where he would have been had they double stacked the pit stop. And even with the better tyre compound on to end the race he was only able to gain about 5.5 seconds on Lewis with Oscar have virtually clear track in front of him for the whole last stint. If he had to fight max early on had he been closer it is highly likely neither would have caught Lewis.

The thing with Mclaren for me is, that Lando just seems to not be championship material. First he f**** it up at the start. Later he was asked when he wanted to box and how the track feels and he made the wrong decision. And then in the end Mclaren even told Lando that they have the advantage of the mediums compared to Mercedes and he made the wrong decision again. The last races perfectly showcase the difference between drivers in the Verstappen / Hamilton tier and drivers like Charles, George and Lando.

@@kityhawk2000 The Mclarens obviously had a lot of pace in the mixed conditions, as soon as the rain started their performance was a lot better than Mercedes (more grip maybe? better tyre temperature?). In the Mercedes recap they said that George had those problems from the beginning on and had to manage accordingly, but he really noticed it ten laps prior as a warning light started blinking. But I'm actually sure that he made a mistake into turn 15 because Hamilton gained a lot suddenly after passing that corner. I think someone also said on the radio that George had gone off, but I don't know for sure. Being the first car is a bit tricky in such conditions as you cannot follow the line of the car ahead. He did start gaining on Hamilton afterwards and had to build a gap again because of the planned double-stack, but who knows for sure, they didn't show it on the broadcast.

Max extending his lead in these last 2 races is actually insane to me and it also shows where his priorities are.

The fact Max somehow finished P2 despite being P5 and nowhere at some point is still a reminder why Red Bull got all but one win last year. They can have the 3rd fastest car, but Max and the race strategy just made the difference to somehow make things work despite the difficulties. But if anything that says more about why it's really important Checo needs to be at the front. Checo is now 6th in the standings and one strong points finish next race for Lewis and George while he doesn't score could throw him down to 8th in the next 2 races.

Lando quickly realising that it takes more than having the fastest car to win races and championships as showcased by Max/Lewis today - both Merc and Redbull maximised their opportunities with good tyre/strat calls and great driving by their respective champions Lando on the other hand bottled the tyre choice on that final stint. His dijected demeanor post race and during his interviews you could see the self reflection on the continual poor decisions he and the team are making that are costing them victories. You'd think that Sochi would have been the wake up call to learn from his mistakes but here we are another race where he should have won under changable conditions and he finished third. It was also a massive bottle job from McLaren with both stops I don't klnow what they were thinking not double stacking Oscar which ended up costing him a potential win. Zak and Andrea need to stop taking to the media moaning about Max and Redbull and look at their own short comings if they're seriously thinking about mounting a title challenge. To me McLaren is no different to Ferrari, they have all the ingredients there to mount a title challenge but when the pressure builds they quickly crumble.

Verstappen and Red Bull have shown today why they are the benchmark, especially Red Bull. Despite Verstappen being slower than the two Mclarens and Mercedes, through spot on strategy and pitstops they managed to get second in the race while pushing for the victory. Similar to first half of 2022 when the Ferrari was faster but they constantly beat them operationally and through Verstappen's flawless driving. Norris's mistakes and Mclaren's poor strategy cost them a 1-2 today.

[@user-wi2bf5fp9f]

Lando does this a fair bit, he makes a call without looking long term or big picture or what ever vague cliché term you prefer... The only thing separating him from the likes of Max or Lewis is the big brain stuff. The complete awareness they have that allows them to dominate. Mclaren cost Oscar today, but Lando cost Lando... I'm sure he will get better, someone just needs to sit down with him and show him all the times he made a costly call and try and find a way he can learn from them.

[@paperplane-db8qf]

Or Max and Lewis have a significantly better strategy team and that’s the actual reality. Lando is leading a race and driving in wet conditions. He’s driving flat out because he already lost the lead due to staying out. That is completely not the time to burden a driver with choosing the correct tyres. McLaren have all the information how the other soft Tyre runners did early in the race, Lando does not.

[@Trendyflute]

I half disagree and half agree; McLaren did a really hamfisted job of peppering the drivers with too much information in too little time and expected the drivers to make sense of it. The team-driver combos that got it right (e.g. Max-RBR, Lewis-Merc, Sainz-Ferrari) had a much more focused amount of information going to the driver and trusted their feedback after the team had already done the work to simplify things. But Lando has also demonstrated a Russell-like tendency to just try to do something different even if it's worse, which he should work on.

[@timothyheimbach3260]

The way it was presented to him was absurd too. "Cover Lewis or Max" he's always going to pick Lewis ahead when Max has been on the back foot all weekend. Lewis took the only tyre they had, Max asked for hards and they were suggested to him. Oscar said obviously mediums. Lando had bad info from the radio message we heard and he made the wrong call

[@ExodiaNecross2]

What mclaren need to do is stop asking the drivers what tyres would they like too have like it's asking at a restaurant what would you like to eat & just tell them instead right we are going on mediums for your next pit stops no ifs & buts about it.

[@RockSolitude]

@@paperplane-db8qf They do have better strategy teams but that's not the actual reality. The actual reality is the fact that Max and Lewis make far better strategy calls THEMSELVES and have greater awareness and significantly better race IQ. Both Lewis and Max made their own calls today when to pit and when to switch to inters and slicks. They made those calls themselves and they picked it exactly right both times. Mercedes even said to Lewis on the radio: "we're ready, hit the pit button when you're ready and we'll be there". They literally left the last pit and strategy up to him. They haven't won multiple WDCs between them for nothing.

[@mateuszzawada4723]

When I was looking at Oscar today I saw Verstappen-Brazil-2016. Extrodinary drive, fearless commitment getting grip where noone else could. It was so hard seeing Norris pit & Oscar stay out, because even before Lando went in completly Oscar was already losing advantage to the point where I believe we've seen Russel being 4th car in the row pull into pits and Oscar still hadnt gone through that corner. Even after all that when he knew he lost potencial win he stayed cool, he said on team radio that Medium is the ONLY good choice where Lando messed it at the end again. Its hard to watch and think what could have been for Oscar because for most of the race he looked like the quicker & better McLaren

[@lordeddardstark1621]

I’m getting more sure that matt actually doesn’t watch the races at all and creates them in his head. Charles LOST around 7-8 seconds behind Carlos, that’s why he decided to pit… Actually getting frustrating watching this guy bash Ferrari everytime leclerc fucks up.

I've had 8 to 9 near death experiences, (a lot of very deadly, very uncommon allergies, plus one or two car related incidents) and the "oh I guess this is it" and the surprising peace that comes with it, was what I felt, in the first time not in a near death experience. I'm a grown man and I cried when he crossed the line, almost by surprise in fact, I too question the Ferrari move, but Sainz is doing okay, and Sainz is a more consistent driver (in good times and bad) than Leclerc is (sorry Matt). I wouldn't at all be surprised if part of Lewis break from Mercedes and Sainz's delay is that there's a performance clause.

His time will come, but not yet. I also absolutely hate his demeanor after losing a race. We've observed that for several races now. I get being self-critical and wanting to do better, but do it with confidence and class, not the absolute self-pity on display after every race. That's just pathetic.
