2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

[Mclaren-Honda-1988]

Ouch. Oscar lost some time there with that exit and is out of DRS. Let's see if he can recover.

Piastri back in DRS now.

If Norris manages to pass Max or if Oscar passes Rusell then we might be able to clinch the title today. With a 2-3 and Rusell in 4th we can gain 15 more points than Ferrari. That slow stop gives us the opportunity to do some more laps and get the hard tyre on a delta advantage.

Don't rule out a Mclaren win. We tend to find pace in the second half of the race. But if we can hold a 2-3 then that's a great result.

Whats better? Pitting earlier or later than your opponent?

[Mclaren-Honda-1988]

Oscar has to pick up the pace. He must gain time to the Ferraris behind if he wants an easy pit stop. Regarding to your question if you put the tyre later than your opponent you have a younger tyre to attack. On the other hand though you might need to cover some distance.

Stopping later will win this for us. It's close buy I think we will be faster than redbull by the end.

[Slahinki]

With how Russell is struggling to get by Alonso, I don't think he's a threat anymore.

Whats better? Pitting earlier or later than your opponent?

They shortened the DRS so it looks like track position is better. Undercut looks more powerful than tire delta, which wouldn't be a useful delta anyway. Deg isn't high enough and the stops won't be that far apart.

[Slahinki]

Gotta get the mirror parts off the track now...

[Mclaren-Honda-1988]

It's time for hards as we are left behind.

[Mcl_G10]

Dare we dream?

[chrisgr]

Norris should wait in case of a virtual safety car

[mwillems]

Why did they pit Oscar, it was so obvious to be an SC

[Szabi1112]

Why did Piastri go to the PIT before the sc?
