Oh well. That was a mess up.

Not sure we were challenging the Mercs. But, others did it, so its not a complete outlier.

Sh%t happens.

We could have been P3/P4 and waited for opportunities.

This so bad.
They are such a good team but strategy is so, so weak
Just a fan's point of view*

*statement was relevant when the forum had a high level of intelligence. Now we are just equals.

Oh yeah, they fricked this one up big time.

Seeing Lando keeping up.with the Mercedes as race goes on (evem one lap down), the frustration increase. So bad strategy. So bad.

This is 3 strategy fails in a row.
Japan, Oscar lost a win
Miami, Lando lost a win
Canada, the team lost the plot!

Somethings got to be up with Lando’s car. With his fresh rubber he should be way faster than the rest of the field, but he can’t even catch sainz

So true. They should have take Hannah from.RBR, not GP.
If I see again that guy Randeep after this race I will throw away the TV out of the window. I can not remember a top strategy from McLaren in years.

This is 100% on the team. I’m sorry but mistakes in the strategy have been happening for the last several years. This team has won despite the strategies, thanks too a rocket ship and a good lineup

Aren’t they waiting for a new head of strategy to join, after gardening leave?
