Poll: Official 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Thread - Hungaroring, Budapest - Race 13/24

Despite the complaining Max is looking good for the podium

The strategy probably working for them with far newer tyres

Mclaren Multi 21 incoming...

 

[Tigget]

Haha lando’s engineer “we know you’ll do the right thing” when he’s chasing the driver championship point tally.

Everyone about to see that all drivers are the same deep down.

 

[Kenai]

Russell is taking chunks out of Perez

 

[SpartaP]

Imagine telling a racing driver to give up first position, especially when they're in a decent championship position.

If I was Lando I'd let him by if he was much closer and then go for an overtake. But not 3 seconds behind

The team put Lando and Piastri in this position, their own fault, not Lando's.

 

[chrismscotland]

If McLaren actually want to fight for the drivers title they should be leaving Norris in the lead

 

[el_dazza]

Piastri is still favourite to win, there's no way he hands that back without a fight.

 

[Mr Jack]

Has he got the painters in?

If Max had balls he'd be his brother?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Far more likeable than Russell for me.

Not even close. I’d far rather see Russell doing well than Norris.
Mclaren have really messed everything up here. They should know that Norris wouldn’t ever give that position back. 2 races in a row, wrecking Piastri. It’s a bad look.
I’m not Hamilton fan, but I’d love to see both orange cars wreck their tyres and Hamilton to just creep by on the old hards.

Mclaren knows the fight is not in the drivers championship.

 

[Mesai]

Norris definitely become more unlikable with each race - dude is so damp.

Why must he switch with Piastri though? I missed the pit stops - did Piastri let Norris put first to help his race?

 

[Journey]

McLaren need to take this on the chin, not the driver, they made a stupid choice for no reason.

 

[Scam]

Piastri isn’t close enough at all, McLaren should give up and take the blame.

 

[uscool]

Lando has suddenly gone deaf lol

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I wonder what RBs tolerance is for Max' outbursts. At some point (if they had a second top driver) they might just say, off you go mate.

I’m not sure there is any. They’ve literally enabled his behaviour fully throughout his career there..

 

[poosemon]

If Norris doesn't swap back, suspect he'll be pointing at the two sizeable errors that piastri made during the race which cost a fair amount of time.

Think this would be a different argument if we're talking 1.5-2 seconds gap it would be a bit different?

 

[chrismscotland]

Piastri is still favourite to win, there's no way he hands that back without a fight.

If he can get anywhere near Norris; not showing it so far

Mclaren knows the fight is not in the drivers championship.

I don't think even Nostradamus can predict how the rest of this championship is going to go

Piastri isn’t close enough at all, McLaren should give up and take the blame.

Yeah, he just can't get closer to him

because he got a 3 second undercut! Its not as if Piastri just suddenly slowed down to a crawl.

 

[SpartaP]

Norris not giving af, and tbh don't blame him. Pit wall F'd up.

McLaren engineer: “Please sir, follow your orders”.
