Yep and given that twice this season he has made risky lunges from behind that risked taking both cars out, I think his whining was pretty hypocritical.

There is high probability for a double DNF, since the gloves are going to come off next race onwards. Piastri is pissed, he is questioning how come Norris is able to 'get away' by choosing to collide sideways, rather than brake and give up his attempt. When Piastri passed him in Imola, he didn't touch. IMHO he isn't "whining" , just questioning McLaren's 'iron-clad' papaya rules where "drivers shouldn't collide with each other" diktat is golden. Papaya rules no longer exist, in his opinion.
Not complaining, not mocking, not tarnishing. McLaren's 'driver policy' (it's given them WCC 6 races before end of season, which is also important, not just an excellent car) , is going to face a severe test - just an "evaluation" of mine.
Everyone thinks "clearly" when the helmet is off. Lando almost took out both Mclarens in T3 today. That's what happens when the visor goes down, and a championship is on the line. Lando is getting desperate. Suddenly that 6 point fabrication in Monza could be decisive, and Oscar will rue many of the decisions he has made this year.
Yep, gloves are off now, unquestionably. But it was always going to be like this way. It's every man for himself from here on in and the Papaya rules are almost certainly dead in the water.venkyhere wrote: ↑05 Oct 2025, 17:17congrats on WCC, the engineering teams deserves nothing less.

Why do they need to make up for it?? Getting close is one thing, getting past is another entirely.AR3-GP wrote: ↑05 Oct 2025, 17:30Everyone thinks "clearly" when the helmet is off.

How will Mclaren make up for Oscar's bad pitstop today? He was only 2 seconds behind Lando at the line. He lost much more than that with the pit stop. This is why Mclaren shouldn't have done what they did in Monza.
As shown in the race coverage, it looked worse from Oscar's onboard than it did from other angles.mwillems wrote: ↑05 Oct 2025, 17:59Yep, gloves are off now, unquestionably.

Lando took too much speed in and Max and Oscar acted as the brakes, nothing wrong, ultimately, but he'll be right to be p*ssed and Mark Webber will be in his ear telling him to give no quarter from now on.
