This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
Mclaren have been best bar none when it comes to engine management, have been for years - no idea what people are on about.
Superb pole from Lando. He can lose race to max, come second, i think its still then game over
It was a 'who has warmed up the tyres well' (it differs for each car and the skill of the driver-engineer combo is figuring out how best to do it on their car) quali session on wet->dry track. Lando did a brilliant job of it, that's why he was 1 second up on the field in Q3. Delivered when it mattered. Driving like a true champion. The car isn't 1s faster, it's the way the driver and team used the tyres. Considering this, Piastri being so far back can mean only one thing - he doesn't deserve the WDC (painful though it is to say it, it's the truth) , because unless the car operates in an ideal environment, he isn't able to 'adapt' to suboptimal conditions. I still think Piastri is the better wheel to wheel racer, but in terms of operating at the limits of adhesion, Lando is superior.

Oscar probably gets p3 without the yellow flag, so gap likely closer. But as it seems Oscar doesn't like the low grip tracks, Vegas in the wet won't be his liking.
But, he know has it all to do, while Lando can manage.
Totally worth it to wake up for 5AM session, would recommend (same tomorrow).
Great pole by Lando again. Survive turn 1 tomorrow and he should be ok, no need to be P1.
