2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

[Ben1980]

The hope is, Lando clings on at the start, though I gathers that's hard in Austin. And the Ferrari and Max squabble and damage tyres. All being on New mediums will likely level up most of the deg for longer than yesterday.

But, basically not a fricking clue. Anything could happen.

Im afraid Max will walk past. The latest at lap 3 when DRS opens. Ferraris also look like they will get past... Hopefully Perez stays in no mans land and Lando and Piastri take P4 and P5. Damage limitation at best. Would be good if Ferrari duo take Max and demote him to third.

Don't be afraid, proteus !

It is definately a tight fight. As I said earlier, Ferrari are my slight favourites. But I certainly think we have the means to put up a fight, in fact I have some optimism. Anywhere from 1st to 4th is a reasonable I think with a strong emphasis on what the driver can deliver.

It’s not just Mclaren who have had to change their rear wing design

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mclar ... /10664990/

‘It is not confirmed which other teams had to make changes as a response to the FIA guidance, but sources suggest that all of 2024's race-winning outfits have been under the spotlight for potentially pushing the limit of the rules with regard to rear wing flexing.’

You mean most the claims that have never been proven? Don’t throw stones in glass houses after your wings have had to be changed

You mean the totally legal wings by both the FIA and the team?

FIA technical director Tombazis confirms that if McLaren had not made the rear wing changes they would have been reported for a rules breach

"Yes, we would have, because we specifically gave a warning to them."

That just confirms it, they were legal until they weren't. And at no point did they run them when illegal or outlawed.

Can we please stop with that BS crap. The rear wing passed all tests therefore it was legal. The assymetrical break and the bib ride height were illegal from the get go. Its getting tiring at this point. The last team who should be talking about illegalities is Red Bull. Their whole existence is a controversy.

In half an hour there's gonna be a race where Lando will have to defend his pole position and personally I've put those matters behind. Do we know if the team managed to find something more on the race settings?

Whatever happens good luck to both drivers and may Mclaren gives their 100 percent and even more. Let's go get them team.

Let's get this!

Poorly executed T1 by Lando. Should have never allowed that lunge by Max.

[Ben1980]

Not a surprise. Not sure he bottled it, some will say.

[Darth-Piekus]

--- hell. I think its pretty much over this GP.

[McLarenMor]

I love Lando, but he is not the sharpest pencil from what it seems, didn't he see just yesterday what hugging the inside provides? He had such a great start, why leave an inch of chance on the inside?
He always seems to think everyone will be super logical and cautious like him into turn one. Unbelievable.

[Szabi1112]

Tipical Verstappen. Creepy idi*t

[Mcl_G10]

Lando stood little chance unless he went very very tight to the inside. Max just didn't allow lando to turn in

[blastdoman]

Yesterday the stewards penalized to Óscar for same thing

Max went super tight and pushed Norris out of the track.

Later on he went full throttle off the track to keep ahead of Sainz. Are stewards in the race?
