YEEEESSSSSSS!

What a drive and what a beautiful slippery papaya beast.

3rd in the championship at the end of the season with this 1-2 at Monza (so far) will be quite nice thank you very much.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

We can definitely be happy with how our cars launch. They were very good with it in Renault days but seems they still have that edge. Today both Lando and Daniel launched very fast, I think Lando could have passed Verstappen as well but Verstappen blocked him.

I wonder what is the reason for that, could it be gearing better suited for launch?

Was a good omen to have my 40th birthday celebrations this weekend even though it's not my birthday until early in the week. My family got me this...

The money isn't as important as the McLaren cake! They all wanted me to cut it and eat it but I said no I'm buying some sort of see through preservation paste and keeping it forever!

McLaren has always had good traction, was even a strength over others during the Honda and Renault years. The slow speed weakness is purely lateral/cornering.

Still absolutely buzzing over that! Even if we end up 4th in the constructors, I'll take a 1-2 finish and the extra development time all day long.

Yes at the very end..... what a performance... we were 11 points behind Ferrari and now we are 15 ahead, with SOCHI coming that should also suit our car better (on paper).

You were probably jumping around, it was literally the last lap so the notification came after the chequered flag.

Congrats guys on the 1-2! Nice race by both Daniel and Lando. Love seeing this Ferrari/McLaren season so far. Hoping this keeps up in the years to come (but us fighting for 1st... not 3rd)!
