We get it. No more racing until Norris wins.

No, just sensible team tactics to try and win the constructors and drivers championship.

 

[Trusty]

Would rather see Piastri or Charles win.

That's great. I think Mclaren would prefer to win both championships if possible

Same here. Tbh, I’d rather see Max win than Norris today. ;D

Race control - Ticciardo time 1:26.111 deleted - tracki limits turn 2 lap 10

Perez overtakes someone! He is SO back.

 

[Mr Jack]

That move just then by Piastri isn't. It's just lucky Norris saw him and didn't turn into him, could easily have happened

If it happened then it would be 100% Norris' fault. Piastri isn't there to support Norris, they're equal drivers in the team. Piastri is entitled to take a fair passing opportunity.

Russell to pit.

 

[Flibster]

McLaren still relying on the drivers for strategy calls?

That makes no sense, what was Hungary about then?

 

[Flibster]

Of course Ferrari are already on Plan B....

I'm sure most teams would, but that adds no value to my life - watching the cars race does.

Did you actually watch Hungary? Big chip on the shoulder there, and I don’t get it. (But I’m not a Norris fan, and I don’t care who wins the WDC)

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

i'm surprised Ferrari are only at Plan B by this point

Race control - Sainz time 1:25.423 deleted - track limits turn 2 lap 13

Yep, all he's done is made McLaren lose the 1-2 strategy advantage, if he was faster could have waited a couple of laps.

I don’t think a single driver out there would ignore an overtaking opportunity, to do it later because they’re faster overall

McLaren still relying on the drivers for strategy calls?

You talking about Piastri? They specifically asked his opinion which is totally fair enough.

Lando going for the undercut…

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Perez gaining on Max… I’d like to see that move happen today.

Edit: Mclaren pitting Norris first. Let’s see what happens.

What do you mean big chip? i think you're reading too much into these posts. It makes no sense for Norris to give Piastri the win and give up 7 points on the championship for then a couple races later have Piastri take a dangerous move on the inside where both drivers could have lost the 1/2. I'm looking at it purely from a team perspective.

 

[.:MBK:.]

squeeky bum on whether that'll be speeding

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

Lando going for the undercut…

more like lando going for the flag at the pit entrance

 

[Scam]

Nice one McLaren. Good call on the undercut.
