I really can't believe it. McLaren is doing all they can to lose that 40 point advantage

What is gonna be the point difference now?Really annoying though. So far it's McLaren VS themselves. By sheer luck we haven't gotten that 4th place yet

Well they're gonna lose around half. Although it's likely that one of them will blow. Wouldn't be surprised with McLaren's luck/incompetence that Leclerc and Hamilton will crash.

Despite today's setback I still believe that McLaren is the best 4th car. The luck of Renault will run out and I'm sure they are gonna also have Dnfs in the next races. If they are not able to pass us now that we had 2 Dnfs in two races I don't think they will be able to pass us.

A shame for Carlos, he was having a great race and even when not in the pace of the Renault’s, P6 was there for the team.

This isn’t something usual for the team, which have been usually very good and consistent with the pit stops, so I wouldn’t start screaming and cursing about it.

Lando is in the points, but definitely lacking some pace... Hope that he can keep P10 from Gasly.

I also believe is the 4th car, just out of consistency... But, I don’t expect any DNF’s for Renault and actually hope that isn’t the case... We need Renault to be as reliable as possible, since any problems they can encounter are problems that can trickle to Mclaren.

Albon will get close to Hulkenberg.

We also shouldn't forget that this race is quite special, because the gaps are relatively close and Albon, Verstappen and Vettel aren't in their usual positions.

What I meant by Dnf is that some people think that 22 points is not enough because they expect more Dnfs from McLaren. However people don't count the fact that Renault could also have Dnf. 40 points give us that advantage to have some Dnfs and still be 4th. Also now McLaren is bringing the final huge update and there is no other Monza like truck where it was our weak point. Our superior downforce and the upgrade should secure that 4th place

Exactly... Renault chose the right time to perform with the cars that should have been clearly ahead of them out of their race.

Good for them though... They will be able to claim that they finish ahead of both RBR’s... Even if Albon makes the move on Hulk, there is no way he is catching RIC

I see what you mean... The reality is that this is the worst case scenario for the team... Not only DNF’ing from a good scoring position (Sainz), but both Renaults taking advantage of the Top 3 losing places (VER and VET).

At least, it will make the rest of the season very intriguing and nail biting!
