Come on Lando!

[Swed3121]

Welp, I guess it’s time to enjoy a OM train until the end of the race that we threw away…

[Mcl_G10]

The antonelli gift is complete.

[Avocado]

So unlucky.

[genarro]

I don't know, he is significantly faster than them.

I dont think it changes the likely result of 3rd. But it probably would have been better to stay out.

I’m sorry to break it to you and whatever apologist view you have but without that joke of a pistop, Lando would have won the race

No he would have not. The vsc decided todays race.

[Ben1980]

You think he was building and keeping a 25 second gap on older mediums compared to new hards?

Calm down, man. We get it, you're angry. Jesus. I agree though, Norris wins this easily with a less suspect VSC timing or if the team doesn't give up track position on a track that might as well be Monaco.

In hindisght, I actually think Lando would have pulled away even on used mediums. The deg wasnt nearly as bad as we expected and Lando is a master in tire management.
The VSC timing wasn't in their hands, but the decision to pit when the track went green arguably lost them the race. It's good it doesn't change much this year as the WDC is largely a formality at this point, but they have to fix this pit wall issue for the future.

I honestly don't understand how Randy Singh has maintained his job for so long considering how horrible McLaren's pit wall is.

Nice job one more time in the pitwall. Thanks guys!

Completely agree on all points. Also, what a useless track, lmao.

I agree, we have the worst pit wall of any contender and need to fix this asap, it almost cost Lando the WDC last year and just isn’t up to snuff compared to the competition, it’s fine to make questionable decision s when your fighting alpine for P9&10 but not when fighting RB or Merc for wins. This isn’t Ferrari, so let’s actually do something about our biggest deficit.

And as an aside, if we never race at the madring again, it will be too soon.

By the way, Lando nearly lapped Oscar and he absolutely would have if it wasn't for the unlucky VSC.
There will still be some that will diminish this performance and call McLaren a rocketship just because it's Lando doing it ...

[Slahinki]

What a race, won by a guy that at no point in the race was the fastest man on track. Farcical.

[CjC]

Robbed. Awesome pace from Lando though. He was easily quick enough to win, we probably would have seen a 30 second winning margin by Lando as AR3-GP predicted prior to the weekend

If the car is that much faster in the race, then it is a rocketship. Its not like zero race pace and Lando put it on pole out of nowhere. The car has the pace.
