[@aoife1122]

They have deballed him in public yesterday... shame on McLaren. And made it obvious that they have no faith in Lando winning the title.

[@braveheart4603]

The unforgivable bit was when he didn't give the position back straight away therefore robbing himself of the chance to retake his team mate legitimately. He chose to make a silly statement to show he was faster rather than actually giving himself the chance to win and prove it that way. If he was gonna ignore them and win the race then fair enough but he wasn't prepared to do that so he should have yielded then re overtook his slower team mate in the many laps still left.

[@tetra3000]

The whole reason Lando was leading is because the team brought him in first on a track where the undercut is massive to cover Lewis (even though it didn't look like he was in range). If they brought Oscar in first like they should have done Lando would've still been P2 but at least would've had the whole final stint to try and get past. All they had to do is box Oscar then box Lando the lap after and they race until the end. That was their mistake.

[@oldmarcussales]

@@tetra3000 Hamilton was 10s behind Norris when he stopped, he came back 30s behind, in five laps he cut the difference from 30s to 25s.

[@mattalford389]

Absolutely agree with Peter. Lando is not going to win a World Championship with his current attitude. He needs to get tough. And soon

[@braveheart4603]

I totally disagree with Peter here. Sure many great drivers would never have relinquished that position such as he did but many also would have seen the wider picture. Drivers like Lewis would have made a very calculated decision based on many wider factors rather than fight for every single win and every single position out of principle. Lewis is a great example of a driver who understands the politics and manoeuvres those type of things to his advantage to affect more than just a race win. Schumey was selfish but understood the wider politics well also. Those guys sacrificed wins to team mates in order to garner more support from a more bolstered team and it worked out very well for them. I also think there's a decent chance that your career goes the way fernando's did when you become solely self interested. Hopefully not for his sake but i feel Max is at risk of putting himself into the same bracket as Alonso and being viewed as toxic to team environments.

I can't be the only one who completely disagrees with Peter's take? I normally agree with most, but Oscar had full control of the race in the first stint. He is allowed to fight into turn 1 for position. Lando had a poor start. McLaren were to blame for this, not Oscar. Lando should've given the position back straight away and no doubt he would've overtaken on track.

Go see the start. Oscar did NOTHING wrong. I can't believe Peter is making such a big deal of it. Watch how Lando almost had Oscar in the barriers on the run down to Turn 1. Also, McLaren gifted Lando the lead by boxing him first. I can't believe Peter's take on this.

[@CharistoSmuts]

Bud, you don't "win" a race on the first corner, multiple drivers have won races starting from P20, a lot can happen in a race, to say Oscar deserved the win because he took the first corner is ridiculous. He went off track a few times as soon as the pressure was one, and cooked his tyres, went off into the gravel as well. As for overtaking on the track, they were told they were not allowed to race each other after lap 40, so your argument is moot.

[@raid8769]

5 mins in and im already gobsmacked. Did peter even watch the race? Im not convinced because he missed out the context before the pitstops. Oscar overtook lando at T1 and had a 3 second gap before the pitstops but mclaren, in mclaren fashion, prioritised the slower driver and gave him the undercut stategy. Im a brit, but this british bias is sickening. Oscar is just as good as lando already, he has been scammed out of a win and a few podiums just to favour norris and they still have identical career win totals. What lando should have done is give the place back immediately and then overtake oscar on track, if he really is as good as everyone seems to think he is.

And then peter went as far to say that oscar should give up the win for the norris because he should want to "win fair and square"??? We have seen senna, Schumacher and max "win" championships they shouldn't have by being dirty, unfair and "ruthless". He literally said that lando should be a more of a "racing driver" and not be so "fair and square"....now all of a sudden peter thinks oscar should be fair and square to lando???? For what?

What Windsor means to say when he exclaims “racers want to win” is that it should be at any cost. Sacrificing everything. Your integrity, reputation, sportsmanship, relationships, self respect even. Were Briatore and the team real racers crashing Piquet? Where’s the line? Should an 800m runner clip the heels of his rival in front? At what point do we stop lionising cheating effectively, or celebrating unsportsmanlike behaviour? The lore of those dramatic incidents as when Senna took out Prost on purpose, or Schumacher on Hill, belie the sour taste we all had in the moment, as the victory wasn’t earned through real racing. The history books may just show the numbers, but for those of us that remember, we all know in our heart of hearts there’s a good way, and a bad way to win.

Good lort I do enjoy listening to you two gents discuss it all!! Could you perhaps ask Peter about how he got the gig doing the post race interview room moderating?? Peter used to ask the hardest hitting racing questions mere minutes after the drivers were out of their cars. And it was awesome and even the drivers loved it.

[@TheTeejay73]

To quote one of Senna's most used and often controversial quotes "Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people and if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver - because we are competing, we are competing to win, and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for the victory.” Senna, in his words wasn't designed to finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th and whilst I don't want to glorify Senna's quote above, as it's context was taken in consideration with his infamous crash with Prost at Suzaka, what I will say as Peter is alluding to, is that Lando needs to have more desire & bloody single mindedness - and get some arrogance too.

And Lando took it all the wrong way, and was saying oh well you've had your fast cars in the past, now it's our turn. Wtf was that all about? To me it's all about Lando thinking everything has to be fair, fair, fair. Nothing in Formula 1 is fair. The best, take the best for themselves. He's far too nice to win a World Championship

[@ricardoalmeida4719]

Peter doesn’t know what McLaren means by having a team behind Norris? It simply means that one day he might need Oscar, his teammate to get a decisive win and he shouldn’t burn that bridge. Oscar has helped him many following team orders in the past, Oscar has also driven impeccably in Hungary and shouldn’t lose the win because McLaren made a shitty decision in the pits. Also he’s taking the credit of Oscar in the first corner, really? Oscar did a move on Norris. Fair move. Risky? Sure, that’s why it was great. Norris lost his position because his launch was worse. Simple. Biased much?

[@marcosvivoni1944]

It’s incredibly shortsighted to believe letting Lando win that race would have been the best long term strategy after undercutting Oscar twice in that race! You have to be seriously delusional to neglect the possibility of Oscar being needed to assist lando in the future.

As a relative F1 casual, I still don't understand why McLaren did that. If Piastri was already #2 and he wasn't fast enough to catch Norris of his own merit, why would McLaren request that?

[@TrumpAndKamila]

Oscar was infont. Oscar had all the clean air and was doing well. The only reason Lando was pitted first was to protect Lando from Hammo and Max. Even though it was a small chance it was none the less a chance. I dont get where Peter is coming from. It was Oscars win

[@jamie4943]

I think the argument is because Oscar was the faster driver up until the pit stop he should have been given the best strategy. Because lando was slower and Mclaren were woried about Hamilton they decided to pit him first giving Norris the better strategy, and allowing him to undercutt Piastri. The argument is that it is not fair on Oscar that he got undercut because Mclaren only pitted Norris first because he was slower than Piastri and Mclaren were worried about Hamilton undercutting them. Imo Mclaren should have inverted the cars immediately and then let them fight to the end.

Red bull sell energy drinks, Mercedes, Ferrari and Maclaren sell cars. Lewis became as big as the team through achievement but always remained modest respecting the team effort.

I also looked at the punditry over at Ziggo Sport Channel, instead of blaming Lewis they deplored Max's subpar performing this weekend. Public tv is even more keeping to non-emotional journalistic reporting.

The team screwed Oscar, yet again, and that should be on them. They absolved themselves of that mistake and put that burden on Lando, the radio messages were insufferable. Big L for McLaren. If Lando loses the championship by 7 points, Stella needs to be fired or Norris should leave.

I think if Lando was told the full plan and agreed to take the undercut, he should've said "agreed, as long as I'm able to race him after giving him the lead and letting him regain the preexisting 2-3 second advantage". That would have meant nobody questioning Oscar's first win, Lando could've had a chance to get full points properly, and the team wouldn't have had to be begging over the radio which was unbecoming. Lando was clearly faster in the last stint and I agree that they would've been at least within fighting distance. At that time though, if there's only a few laps left the team could come in and say look this isn't worth it.

you don't take into account that if happened Oscar would be aware and would say goodbye to look after the tyres then we would have seen a big fight when contact would have been possible and the points potentially would have gone for both driver and the Constructors champ would have suffered then MV would have left Hungary in a better position...this scenario would have been possible..think about it

It would have been a tough loss for Piastri and no doubt caused plenty of rage on Australian social media. But the simple fact is, Lando has McLaren's first vague shot at a drivers' championship in over a decade, if he's in a position to win then they have to capitalise. All yesterday did was make matters worse long-term, now Norris will expect Piastri to jump out of his way at all times for the remainder of the season and when it doesn't happen, he'll immediately bring up Hungary.

[@jamie4943]

I think the incident highlights the difference in mentality between Max and Lando. Remember Brazil 22 Max wouldn't even give up P6 (from memomy) to Perez when he was already champion. I think Lando did the right thing, but I think Mclaren really need to review their strategy; they keep putting their drivers in these awkward situations with poor strategy. Mclaren should have inverted their cars immediately after Oscar was undercut. There was like 10 or so laps left, they robbed us of an entertaining battle for the race lead. Furthermore, Mclaren have now somewhat tainted Oscar's first win.
