2022 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

[Stig14]

Shout-out to the team for suggesting Daniel's strategy and then to Daniel for pulling it off. Impatience got the better of him with Yuki but he soon did what was required to make the passes and pull the gap he needed. Missing out on Q3 gave him the extra set of softs to make this work.

I think Lando maximised his strategy today. Overtook Bottas (which looked unlikely after the first stint) and didn't make any mistakes. The hards were just not that quick Vs the mediums/softs (which lasted just fine).

Great stops and reliability for both cars too. Great performance for the team in a fairly dull race.

Sidenote: the team should tell Daniel he has a penalty every race. It seems to bring out the best in him (à la Sochi 2019).

Nice race by Daniel, let's hope this continues in the next race

What a moron, one good race and he gets desperate enough to do stupid things like this

That penalty was BS, 5 seconds ok, but 10 was pure BS! Yuki should have left more room!

Anyway, epic drive by Daniel, the softs were the perfect tire for the final stint and 7th was well deserved! Not to mention a very nice F'U to the overzealous stewards!

Fantastic job by Daniel indeed. Damn shame he was not like this whole season.

It's a shame McLaren couldn't give him a "car he could dance with" more often, then Alpine would be a long way behind on points!

Ifs, but's, and cuts...If Alpine didn't build their car out of play-doh.....we'd have yet another alternate version of reality.

For a Team that suffer so much with Pit Stops on previous seasons… This is a fantastic reward to a lot of hard work

I think it shows the way that Seidl is methodically building the team up. He seems very good at identifying weaknesses and building the weaknesses into strengths slowly but steadily.

In my eyes that's the person we need to carry McLaren into the future and turn it into a race and championship winning team.

It’s Mclaren’s job to build the best car for their drivers, not Alpine.

It's also their job to find a fitting driver, which they just did.

In a pure time perspective, getting past Yuki would have freed him several seconds that he would have been stuck behind, so just giving him 5 seconds wasn't giving him a penalty at all. But Daniel did what he needed to do and I really pleased for him. What I'd like is that he gets a confidence boost and carries some form forward to help us overtake Alpine.

That Renault engine has some power, but is that because they have to run it too hard? It feels like it may not be just within reach of the other engines but they have to push its limits a bit more to get a possibility of a top 4 position.

Almost certainly now Alonso will need to take a penalty or an older engine. Interestingly, despite all the talk of the Merc engine struggling with life, it has the best life of all, with many Merc drivers having just used 3 engines.

Could you stop playing the same record over and over again?

Ah yes, facts can be inconvenient can’t they!

It's an opinion that the problem is with the car and not Daniel. Everyone knows yours and you know other peoples opinion.

Banging on about it won't change anyone's mind, will it? So what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Stunning drive from Daniel. He was the fastest guy on track the moment he started that last stint. I was afraid he blew it, considering his pace dropped the lap after the contact with Yuki, but he came back and fought for it like a lion. Driver of the day and definitely his drive of the entire year. I wished he showed this more often during his time with the team.

I think he got lapped on that lap after the colision with Yuki. So blue flags caused his drop in lap time.
