[@muhammedmustafa3403]

As another Piastri fan, the recency bias around F1 really bothers me. During the summer break, everybody was saying he was way better than Lando, and now suddenly those same people are downing on Piastri for getting 4th. We should be able to recognize that all of the 20 drivers are humans, and nobody has exclusively great races, neither Lando, nor Oscar, or anybody else.

[@ianoYG]

Indeed, it's been so depressing as a Lando fan hearing all the hate he was getting because it seems to either Piastri is the best and Lando sucks or Lando is the best and Piastri sucks. I am really happy after yesterday, but let's just have some perspective!

I don’t get F1 fandom sometimes. I was jumping in my seat watching Lando chew the distance to Max and getting the overtake. Then I was amazed by how Hamilton destroyed the field from P14. And in the last laps, I was clenching my butt watching Oscar try and fail to overtake Charles for the podium. F1 fans don’t appreciate how we are getting one of the craziest seasons of this decade and it is just sad. Here’s one for a crazy race. 🍻

[@kemdom]

@@LawVS the only “exciting” thing a Lando dominated 2nd half would/could bring is a WDC title fight. But it’s not worth another “don’t mind Max/Lando, the rest of the field’s fight will be interesting” season.

People are saying Oscar got a bad strategy. I love Oscar but I think they did what they could... it's the old "if my mum had balls" Charles pulled the trigger early and reaped the benefit

[@foodispriority]

max drove that car to the limit, watching his onboards through the race it just looked horrific. The rest of the season might be a nightmare for him

[@macrossMX]

And considering the stories of people saying that the Red Bull is now understeering and oversteering, Some of us are getting F14T flashbacks all over again. And if RBR fail to address this problem by the time they end the European leg at Baku, both Max and Checo will drown hard. Yes, Max will pull off his signature heroic drives to keep himself inside the top 3 at best or top 5 at worse, but you do have to wonder how far can he push before he finally hit his limit and start making mistakes.

[@JulmustensV8]

The car really went from being the RB19 successor to being closer to a F14T. The onboards were horrible to see, turn 10 looked scary every single lap. I do have faith that Redbull can get ontop of this just enough to seal this season for Max by about 20-30 points to Lando. But i dont think Redbull can solve these issues without going for a brand new concept for 2025 which may likely put them behind Mclaren, especially with Newey gone the recovery will take longer

[@aravindhdeivag111]

I genuinely think Max fought his car a lot, but why didn't people say the same for Lando in Imola. He was ringing the neck of the Mclaren every single corner and people still said he bottled with the fastest car, when it was far from the fastest in the race.

He's a legitimately good driver.

[@RA1KU]

Agreed, I mean he is P2 for a reason in the championship. After Spa it did kind of feel like people just threw Lando into the dumpster. Oscar did have a few mega races and some of them were his stronger tracks, at least according to the F1 pundits.

[@stoshu9584]

@@RA1KU yeah, Oscar totally does deserve to be recognized for some of his recent performances as well! There was just a bit of an undertone that read as "Lando is so washed, Oscar is already better" that was getting a little silly for a sec.

[@JulmustensV8]

@@RA1KU I will say, Hungary is known to be a very had track for Oscar after he had such poor tyre management there last year. So it was alot down to the fact of Oscar performing incredibly on tracks where Lando last year beat him pretty convincingly on now turned into places where Oscar outperformed Lando on. And Lando did and does get alot of stick for his race starts which are understandable. I just dont see the reason to throw hate intead of an opinion

[@ehrlichgesagt863]

I mean its pretty normal for what he did. He has arguble the better car for the last 10 races and won just 1 really convincing. When a Rookie Teammate with worst strategy most of the time and probably a car build less around him is somehow still just 40 points behind him. I like him as a person but it's pretty obvious that people either rate him completely on his personality (see DOTD) or nationality and make anything good the best of the world.

[@motelghost477]

People have very short memories. After Norris won yesterday, the pundits on Sky were all saying that McLaren would be the fastest car on every track. At the last race 4 weeks ago, the Mercedes finished 1 2 and Max got pole and probably would have won easily but for the 10 place penalty.

[@LawVS]

I would say that McLaren needed an upgrade to keep ahead as Mercedes were catching up which makes sense how F1 teams update and develop. However, it's too early to categorically say we've got a title battle. Lando did a good job, now do it again.

[@MrMattRanger]

I think Lando dominating the last races of the season would still make it exciting because of the fact that he would be chasing Max for the Drivers Championship. I would otherwise agree that dominance is not an enjoyable viewing experience.

[@Gopher31]

Max wins the championship not by beating Norris but by getting consistent podiums and winning where possible. He doesn’t need to take risks.

[@parsamns6677]

I think if Lando wins Monza, and Oscar finishes above Max, we can say that we Certainly have a championship on our hands! CMON THE PAPAYAS

[@benhayes5396]

Definitely for the Constructors. But Max is very far ahead in the Drivers. Even if Lando wins every race. As long as Max finishes Second in the majority of races then he still wins And if Lando doesn’t win but finishes second every race Max can finish within the top 5 and still win. (For context Max has only finished outside the top 5 twice, once in Monaco and the DNF in Australia)

[@KyleAckerProductions]

I don't know if it's the car or just an Oscar problem, but the hard to follow in dirty air issue has been his biggest issue with missing out on points. He's just not confident in those moments or doesn't know how to maximize the car in that point of his race. Hopefully he can grow in that area as they fight at and near the front.

[@LawVS]

He's better at modulating when to push and when to back off, which is an improvement from Monaco, but you're right. Oscar needs that little bit more to send it. Charles used his nouse to great effect.

I’m not sure where the media got that quote because lando said after the race that he’s not going for the championship but driving race by race. But I’m happy Lando proved all this recency bias from the last few weeks and show everyone on track why he’s still the real deal. Now the same recency bias is hitting Oscar. Everyone was predicting him to now be the #1 at McLaren and leave lando in the dust. They put impossible expectations on him like they did with lando before, and when he’s not meeting THEIR expectations, they’re dumping on him. That’s what I’ve been warning for so long: don’t put them under artificial pressure, they’re already putting enough pressure on themselves. They’re not disappointing, people just had unrealistic expectations.

[@thwbos101ishere6]

I wish an average f1 fan didn’t always take things at surface value. Yes this was a great win for Lando and a great drive but it’s not a title decider until we see a max level of consistency from Lando. Which even in this stage won’t guarantee a title. I think what this did show was that Red Bull’s complacency with just inching by the last few races won’t continue, it can’t. I think a 20 second gap is a one of for this year but the heads at Red Bull will definitely be spinning to turn this around.

[@gunjantripathi9271]

It sounds like Res Bull slapped an old floor on Max's car that made the car slower than Checo's technically looking for more driveability. They did this in FP3 and didn't have enough time to perfect the setup. The gap between max and checo closed because Max got a slower car, not because Checo found any pace.

[@valerierodger]

@@avishaibary-soroker3257 then you shouldn’t say “straight line speed” 😄 And if the McLaren had insane acceleration, it would show off the line. The speed traces show that Max is not faster on most corners - Lando has been faster on most of them, able to break later and carry more speed through them. This is likely not only because the McLaren does better with understeer and has more traction through the corner, while Max struggles with understeer and is having a problem with the understeer that the Red Bull now has

[@autarken]

even if Norris somehow became dominant, I think the idea that him winning every race wouldn't be exciting simply denies the spectacle of watching him slowly claw away the championship from Max... making every point count up until the last race would pretty much define competition excitement

[@stormforce7599]

Mercedes should be ashamed as they are the engine supplier of McLaren. Lewis held the fastest lap until the last lap which Mercedes could have protected by asking Lewis to push in order to stop Lando from taking it. I think Mercedes focused too much on helping Russell to beat Lewis in order to convince their sponsors to stay once Lewis leaves.

[@DanielGuarino-kr4co]

To be fair to Oscar, Zandvoort is an extremely difficult circuit to overtake on and he had just had to catch Russell and overtake him and catch Leclerc, so his tires were probably already not good. I know McLaren had the quickest car and it was a bit disappointing from Piastri after the highs of Hungary and Spa but I hope he can continue from his form from the end of the first part of the season.

[@harryberman4320]

McL and Norris need to be very careful, there are 70 points difference and it only takes 1 FU/DNF and it is gone. It takes experience to always maximise your package, it took Lewis and Max several years driving at the front before they were able to maximise most of the time. Norris, for all his experience and McL are not used to being at the front all the time. So mistakes will be made. Factor in that Lewis and Max, and maybe Ferrari may have a stronger package on 1 or 2 tracks of the 9 coming... I see this more as confirmation that 2025 is the year for Norris/McL... yes, it can be done.. but it is such a stretch.

[@LawVS]

Yep. One DNF in either direction throws everything up in the air. Lando retires and Max wins, it's over. Max retires? THEN we can start to think championship challenges.

[@siteshnarayangautam2780]

above that, they need flawlessness to its Zeanth, No DNFs, cannot come 2nd have to win, must win sprint, must get fastest laps, and if Max wins just one race, the championship is over, max can actually relax in his seat and come 2nd or maybe even 3rd in some races, and it will happen for him.

Nothing at McLaren hasn’t changed at all since the start of the summer break. The car is still insanely quick in clean air, as evident by Oscar’s brief fastest lap and Lando pulling 20 seconds. Just like what happened to max in Hungary McLaren let themselves get undercut and tried to reverse it into an overcut with piastri, leading him to have to pull a comeback drive. Piastri should’ve overtook Leclerc but he took too long and it amounted to nothing. Yes Lando won by a huge margin but it wasn’t sunshine and roses. He yet again let himself get overtook off the line, and after he caught up max just let him go and focused on his own race. The media (including the official f1 social media) are all saying that it was a massive statement, but it was a statement that should’ve happened a while ago. McLaren have generally had the fastest car since the Miami upgrades and yet time and time again they let wins slip from them. Lando hasn’t had to fight for wins and neither has Piastri. I still doubt Lando will be able to mount a championship challenge, but McLaren still look certain to take the constructors. And it does sound like Oscar bias but next year if McLaren still has the fastest car then the feathers will get rustled between them leading to a meltdown

[@chipsawdust5816]

[@O530CarrisPT_C2]

If there's a guy that has learnt to be like Max Verstappen is exactly Lando Norris.

[@szavamaczika1952]

I would pay literal money to hear Law do his videos in the brittish accent at 1:14 :D

[@emiliskog]

To be very clear to start this statement it's not to say Lando is bad or anything like that, he's very good but I have to word some things about Andrea Stellas f1 tv post race show comments this race proves nothing for him as it proved nothing for Max when he won races this way, a runaway win proves nothing on driver skill just that the car is definitely the best, driver skill is proven through even racing at least when all of them are this relatively even

[@LawVS]

Fair point. It's too early to say whether or not this is a true championship challenge. What it DOES say is that Lando has a great car that he can work with going forward.

[@emiliskog]

@@LawVS oh absolutely

[@mikrok2]

Ακριβώς όπως τα λες....110 % ακριβώς...and now in English,I totally agree...don't jinx it...we have dreams ,but reallistickly we have a lot way to have even hopes...go mclaren until the sun shuts off...

[@Suicidalsheep]

Ocon was already trying out how it’s gonna be at Haas

[@Shimeih]

the Redbull didn't ''get bad'' or ''become slow'' McLaren got faster and now max has to drive at his car's limit. Cars don't behave normally at the limit.

[@Aloyzero]

It would be interesting if by the end Max win the championship by 6 points, they will regret the hungrary team order

[@Sabali88-369]

More likely regret over many other average results that could’ve been wins

[@graemewilliams6697]

Max eased off to bring the car home with as little wear as possible.

[@rfldss89]

He said himself that he was struggling with understeer and simply couldn't drive his best because of it.

[@Ticklestein]

⁠Both the original comment and what @@rfldss89said are true, in my opinion. Max already took a penalty in Belgium. Next race is the temple of speed and that engine will see 110% use versus the 95% it gave in the Netherlands, as far as I can see.

[@valerierodger]

@@Ticklestein yeah, that didn’t work well

[@dylanburston7453]

Yes, Charles race engineer is much improved. But Charles has always been one of, if not the best driver in the post summer break races. In his rookie season, from spa i he scored points at all but two races (where he got taken out by others) and many of them were 7th places, which was really good considering he had the 8th fastest car In 2019 he got about 17 million poles in the 2nd half of the season, and didnt finish outside the top 5 except the two races he had incedents in, only one of which he was at fault for 2020 didnt visit many of the tracks, and the shcedule was all weird And in 2023 he scored more points than both Merc drivers combined after the summer break, despite a DNS and a DSQ, and nearly got Ferrari 2nd in the constructors if Perez hadnt been given a penalty in AD

[@PeterKKraus]

Ayy Guvnah!! 1:14

[@macrossMX]

And I guess honorable losers to Kevin and Ocon. Kevin was almost invisible, had it not been the 4-car DRS chase happening behind him on the final corner before the start/finish line, and one that Albon said on radio on how dangerous his driving was as they approach the banking on the final corner. Finishing one lap behind Lando, and one lap behind the Saubers is no consolation. Of course, him finishing P2 in FP3 is a small affirmation that he is still here in the fight, however shallow it was. Ocon was just nowhere this race, almost as bad as Sauber in terms of how invisible they were. Considering his performance on the 1st half scoring points, this is a poor way to start his 2nd half.

[@dashesstv3859]

Good thing mclaren let piastri win, you can really see that Lando is in the Title fight with Max xD

[@Juliya_1624]

Its not landooo....its their engineer

[@simondepass4647]

Regardless of who won and I am happy for Lando those conditions were horrendous for everyone! It would have been getting flicked around like a pinball!

[@chrisccc22]

I'm still scratching my head as to why they let Oscar pass Lando in Hungary.

[@TheMissiIe]

This was a reality check for us Piastri fans. I feel sick

[@LawVS]

It's OK, he's simply got to roll with the punches.

[@Raylarious]

Charles had an amazing race yesterday, also Lando good win….do it again lol

[@bernardtiengo3307]

About Sauber as well, their pace was THAT BAD they were the only cars to be lapped twice!

[@jacobit49]

Lando would have to win every remaining race if Verstappen gets 2nd for every race but 1, and then Lando would win the championship. It's like the smallest margin and longest shot if it would become a reality. But who knows. This year seems interesting.

[@kwanlinus6999]

Another loser of this race is KMAG, literally got passed by Albon, Gasly, Fernando and STROLL, in that order out of Tarzan Corner and onto the straights

[@RedHaloManiac95]

People say redbull lost performance but ignore that literally everyone else lost performance but redbull is cheating! McLaren gains a 20s advantage over the whole field and it’s still “wow look how much time redbull lost” completely ignoring the other 18 cars behind max.
