The sceptics amongst us would say they've manufactured that for Norris.

Haha "once you get to Lando" - koff McLaren with your favouritism.

Poor that from McLaren. Piastri has to close the gap before Norris will swap

Surprisingly it’s not that often you have all 8 drivers from the top 4 teams in 1st-8th

Doesn’t every team favor the better driver?

 

[longers]

Max probably still get third after all the moaning.

I think they're as close to 50/50 as it gets personally, although Oscar is clearly the preferred and more senior driver. Really rate Piastri me.

Well maybe in time, but they have a list of standings and Lando is pretty far ahead at the minute. Lando has been 2 tenths better all weekend when they’ve been going full tilt.

McLaren are being consistent in their messages to Lando about letting Oscar through. You'd imagine he would want to leave a few laps to try and get the place back fairly though. I personally think he'll try to hold out another 10 laps then claim that he can't help it if Oscar isn't fast enough to get behind him.

Norris villain arc incoming

Ffs Verstappen

 

[longers]

I think he will give it up, he’s just making a point

No driver wants to give up a race win.
None.
Lando aint moving over unless directly told to.

 

[AndyP94]

Hopefully Hamilton’s nursed his tyres and Verstappen has worn his out quicker than he would have wanted

 

[tommye]

Great to see McLaren back at the top of the podium though.
Been way to long
