I know Max has mixed reception here. I think it will be interesting to see if Ford can give him what Honda did. (I would back Honda over Ford any day)
-
Well that was fairly unexpected. Shitluck for Lando. Blows my mind how Sainz got the same penalty as Antonelli, whose move was far more egregious. Great run by Hadjar

I like Max a LOT more after watching that. Thank you....
(But, I still think his dad is an arsehole of monumental proportions)

I agree @Giles
His passion for driving certainly comes through. And being away from an F1 weekend, he was very relaxed.
I would have been shitting myself in the passenger seat when he unleashed the Mustang!

Chris was, and he's a racing driver

that was a fantastic video and it really showed a part of max that you don't get to see at the F1

Santa Pod. European drag race finals weekend

Well that was unexpected, pretty good show though. I think McLaren is going to have to work some things out lol. The rest of this season could be more exciting than anticipated.

Spent a weekend in Zell am see at a cycling event I sponsored for work and kicked it with Ferdi Porsche on the Großglockner. Drove me up the mountain in the GT3 RS and down in the 911 Dakar. Awesome weekend of fast bikes and fast cars.

Let them race... Er not so much. Really weird fucking call. I don't know why a slow pit stop for Lando is Oscar's problem. Shit call.
-
@Bridger they should def just let them race. I don’t think that call was to make it Oscar’s problem. Looked to me like it was their weird way of taking the heat for screwing Lando up. Oscar didn’t lose anything his team didn’t give him unintentionally. They weren’t at much risk of being caught. If anything they stoked the rivalry a little by putting them in a potential battle that could have ended badly. All in all, an inconsequential fuck up that didn’t do much more than raise eyebrows.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I think it just came down to Monza being a fast track, McLaren lost their aero and tyre preservation advantage. I think we'll see a return to regular McLaren 1-2 going forward.
As an Aussie, I'm pumped for Oscar leading the championship, but I still want to see them race.
Azerbaijan next, my favourite circuit, if I could go to a race in person, this would be my pick - I don't know why, but I just click with it.
-
@ManiacLachy good points you have for sure. I thought it was their suspension where they had a big advantage tho? Also didn’t seem like they had any problems making those medium tires last till they could run softs. Max switched to hard and still finishing with a 19 second gap - reminds me of the big RB advantage a year or so ago. Who knows tho, I think you’re right and McLaren ain’t gonna drop off. Congrats on your Aussie points leader, I’m sure he’ll be the #1.
-
Giving the place back was absolutely the right call. Lando was faster than Piastri as he demonstrated when he put distance between them even when Piastri had DRS after giving the spot back. This would have marked two races in a row where Lando was screwed by non racing issues.
-
@mclaincausey yeah they had good reason to swap positions...and Lando DID mention the undercut possibility to his engineer before either pulled in and he was given reassurance that he wouldn't lose the position to his teammate. If there's anyone to blame, its left front gun man.
-
@WhiskeySandwich lol at Max being Max on the radio with GP, “They switched because of bad pit, HA!”
