That’s why I want Lando to win now while he has a chance. The window is closing quickly where he is faster than Oscar.

Interesting thoughts @Giles - I can see Webber thinking that far ahead.

I also thought it was noteworthy in the latest Drive to Survive that Horner said he would take Oscar over Norris if he had to choose a McLaren driver. I get that. Both Max and Oscar are robots - cold calculating machines. While not a romantic pairing, they could be dominating.

@Giles from what I can tell Piastri‘s extension has him with McLaren until the end of 2028 and Lando‘s contract will be up a year earlier. Maybe that’s part of Mark Webber's demands

[Giles]

Possibly. My view is let Lando win now, Piastri will have his time.....

Sounds good in theory. However, I suspect Oscar, like Max (and most drivers) don't have the patience to wait around watching someone else win.

Seeing all the retirements from last season is a good reminder that you have to make hay while the sun shines. When you lose the balls to send it (aka Danny Ric), you lose your seat.

Yeah OP isn’t going to want to wait but Lando has a pace advantage right now more often than not and he should win and be prioritized sensibly. He has earned that right with his tenure at McLaren and Piastri has a terrific seat even as a #2 in the fastest car on the grid. He was rescued from Alpine so he has every reason to at least try to be patient.

[Bridger]

Fair call @mclaincausey

There are not that many tasty seats on the grid, so worth the waiting game.

Hamiltonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........

Fark @Giles

While I am very happy with what I now know, I need to remind myself not to look at this thread to avoid spoilers!!

[Giles]

Haha, but it was the way you said it!

Old friends will reunite for the first corner of the Sprint tomorrow (hopefully not literally).

[louisbosco]

@Giles is this where I'll finally see you wearing red

[Bridger]

Ferrari X IH collab?

[mclaincausey]

Expect spoilers ITT. Easier to avoid than my F1 app pop ups

[mclaincausey]

Btw… Puma needs to get it together. I’ve been looking for Hamilton gear and they still don’t have any. They still do have Sainz gear.

[louisbosco]

@mclaincausey we have his ski collection at Dior

[mclaincausey]

@louisbosco is it red?

LET’S GO LEWIS!

[louisbosco]

@mclaincausey just need to win the race tomorrow

Sadly no. I was so disappointed because you couldn’t tell it was a LH collab

[yannis]

Lewis in Red is a sight!!!!! Go Lewis!!!!
