Who’s the number 1 driver at McLaren? 🤔 | FFS with David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan and Mark Webber

[@mikolaygrudzien8764]

I love these conversations. Technical, interesting, fun and engaging. McLaren have a glorious driver line up. Now they are the top team the spotlight is on them. Lando is extremely fast and recent focus has been on his starts. Personally, I think he needs to be more aggressive in wheel to wheel fights. Get his arms out so to speak. Oscar is learning fast and that stunning, sublime move on Lando at Monza clearly shows this young man has intent. Will the close of the 24 season and 25 be these two drivers going head to head for the drivers title. Quite possibly. On current form perhaps Lando has the edge but Oscar is getting stronger every race. It can only add to the thrill for us the audience, added to the Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes closeness of performance. 😊

[@davidcummings2020]

Agreed The cars today are too big for the tracks and need to be reduced so so much in size and weight to create better racing and more attitude from the cars to make watching more interesting .

[@cf5914]

At this stage, its obvious that Oscar has greater potential than Lando. Lando has had six years and still makes too many mistakes to be a consistent contender while Oscar just needs to get his qualifying sessions a bit more consistent in order to consistently challenge at the front. He is CLEARLY progressing each weekend and quietly getting on with his job.

[@JamesFlemingIreland]

If you have a front row lock out then whoever wins the race to the first corner should be protected by the other driver and get preference on pit stops.

It’s a TEAM!

Eddie is 100% correct about Shumacher he had #1 status in his contract unless he falls huge amount of points behind due to reliability or crashing out and half way point would then be placed as #2 and there as a support role

[@frankavrom869]

The McLaren was superior from the first race of the season, but the drivers were not able to show it. Oscar because of his experience and Lando because of his constant errors. We had to wait few months to see the domination since the gap between the McLaren and the rest of the pack had increased significantly. Lando doesn't learn from his mistakes, blame others, while Oscar learn at every race and is improving constantly. If he is slightly slower than Lando, he is way more reliable and can compensate the gap. It is clear he will pass him very soon. Lando uses and abuses his status of favorites at McLaren for years against the other driver, but this time, I have the feeling he will lose the internal rivalry war.

The thing that was a joke about the Webber/Seb incident, was it was the first race if the season. There shouldn't have been any team orders at all

[@tomnewham1269]

It was the 2nd race of the season. As it was early in the season, RB wanted to protect the engines as there is a limited amount of engines they are allowed to use. Finally which is usual for most teams, the driver that is ahead of their team mate gets the first choice in pit stops and that is the team orders that Mark is alluding to. But as Mark said, Vettel was being challenged by Lewis and so Seb got preferential treatment with the timing of the pit stops. If Webber had the preference with the pit stops, Mark would have easily won the race.

[@grandmasterj5]

@@tomnewham1269 oh my mistake, so yes by the second race in they should firmly have team orders in place 🤣 That had nothing to do with engines. Red bull had deals where if a particular driver had 1st place at a particular point that driver would win. Sometimes it was who finished the first lap in first, who gets to turn 1 and holds it first, and on other occasions who gets pole. It had nothing to with engine saving, it was to get them not to race and take each other off on a podium position because RB didn't trust them not to

I like both drivers, but Norris has had the measure of Piastri in pretty much every department. Norris needs to sort his starts and be a bit more aggressive… It will be interesting to see who comes out on top next year, as Piastri is definitely getting closer

[@JamesFlemingIreland]

Norris is marginally ahead in qualifying pace, and he's had 6 years with the team. Piastri has been usually just hundredths off and is much more consistent in races. I think he's the stronger driver. Norris is fast, no question, but he reminds me of a Jarno Trulli type driver - fast, but just not "it".

[@blackjacktrial]

I think Lando is currently 0.005% quicker in optimal conditions, but Oscar's falloff when things don't go to plan strategically is less than Lando's. An ideal race goes Lando's way. A messy race is likely to go Oscar's. And Oscar is willing to provoke (but not cause) wrinkles elsewhere in the field. He's not going to mess with Lando intentionally (they are teammates), but if making a bold overtake on say Sainz helps Oscar's race, but might mess with Lando's strategy, he probably won't back out of it to protect Lando's WDC bid.

I don’t think that move around the outside of the second chicane was ‘magic’, it was reckless If he’d have tried that against any other driver he would have been taken out of the race! That was on Lando being too kind but I don’t think he’ll let it go the for a second time

Lando is better driver than Oscar ! Lando will be champion 2024. !!

Eddie, blink twice if MBS is holding your family hostage

I can't understand how Mohammad bin Salman is related to this? McLaren is owned by Qatar royal family and Saudi owns Aston Martin

People discussing team orders but for me the point is Lando is not really drive good, hard and smart enough for be a contender alongside Max to win this championship... He needs do way better starts, betteer wheel to wheel battles and receive better strategy from the team too...

And you know what it's like to drive a F1 car right? And what an achievement it is to even score over 200 pts in F1

And know after Azerbaijan where does McLaren stand?
