If the engineering team is the team’s biggest strength then they need to carry the team a bit more.venkyhere wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 00:36why is there so much concern about 'turned off development for 2025 too early' ?
The team has already won the WCC, that pays the bills and bonuses. Correct decision to focus on 2026.
If one of their drivers don't win the WDC, so be it - the blame is squarely on the drivers and race operations and pitwall and strategy etc... engineering have already delivered the car.
The MCL team is an excellent engineering team, and they deserve the WCC. I conjecture that the 2026 car with the merc engine will be head and shoulders ahead of any other team.
It’s Piastri throwing the good work in the trash. He sh*t the bed in the sprint and quali. Lando is P2 and still in the running for the win. If the roles were reversed you’d be hammering Lando but now that it’s your darling Piastri it’s the team that is “imploding”.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 00:34It's not just Piastri.

Lando is unable to be champion. I don't believe he has what it takes to beat Max. After last year I just lost faith in him and I have been fanatically supporting him from the start.Badger wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 00:46It’s Piastri throwing the good work in the trash.

Relax, take a breath, cause we have to admit that since Zandvoord, when we wake up with a veeery comfortable lead, mr Piastri is on the back foot.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 00:50Lando is unable to be champion.

You're one interesting roller coaster —even unbearable at times.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 00:50Lando is unable to be champion. I don't believe he has what it takes to beat Max.

I hope at least one Mclaren driver gets the WDC. If Norris proves to me he can do it and make me eat my words trust me I pray for it everyday. Until that happens from what I saw these last two years let me have my doubts.Balalu wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 01:31[

At this point in time, Lando seems more promising.
If it's a Lando WDC, good, as a pay back to how he carried us when it matterd at the second half of last year. But, at the end of the day, I just want a McLaren driver to win it.
