Good result. Really tight at the top and we have every chance to fight tomorrow.

Even better, Ferrari are behind.

That is the most important today. We have Ferrari behind. All we need is to have both drivers in front of the Ferraris. From what I saw though Max Verstappen might be receiving a grid penalty as he is investigated by stalling Russell. The question is if Russell was on a timed lap. Strange that we couldn't replicate our Sprint Qualifying speed. At least the fairy tail of the dominating Mclaren will finally stop.

Lets finish ahead of both Ferraris, if this happens WCC is almost done. Tough qualy, I felt the place was better in Q1 and Q2 than Q3.

Let's go get WCC!

It was so suboptimal… what were we doing? Seriously?

If supposedly tomorrow we finish 3-4 with Ferrari on 5-6 then we gain 27 points and they get 18 with the difference going to 39 and considering how close teams are the championship is pretty much done. As long as the two Mclaren drivers finish in front of the Ferraris. The 2nd part of the year we can all agree that there is no dominating car and currently we have 4 teams that can fight for a win depending on conditions and track characteristics.

Max was indeed great and Russell seems to have found a mojo also. At this last part of the championship it looks like that 4 teams are able to win. The difference is miniscule.

Ideally, I want a 2023 Red Bull season for Mclaren in 2025. If not, a good tight season from the start would be really good to see.

Margins between the teams and then the development margins being so tight that it's unlikely to be anything less than a brawl next year.

I really hope it is. I hope Mclaren having 2 dogs will help. I'm unsure on Lewis at Ferrari, no matter who RB have in, will not be as good, and Merc have soneone old enough to be my son, so will take a while.

More like the car was good enough to take pole and needed tweak in the set up along with a very good driver that knows how to take most of it. That is what I like from that second part of the season. No car is dominant and wins can change from circuit to circuit and from condition to condition.

I’m not going to lie, I’m still concerned that they aren’t full throttle in the high speed corners of the final sector but still have a lower top speed than the Merc and Red Bull

Do you think that Mclaren might have been left behind by the other three competitors?

1 place penalty for Max. Will be interesting to see how he races Lando tomorrow
