They’ve tried to say there’s some balance now in the car but those changes were developed during Horner’s time. IMO.



It would likely have been developed under Horner. I don't think him being gone is an overall good thing for the team when it comes to competing.


Mclaren might have fell into the trap of not improving their car as well thinking they had enough of a lead.

Bearman going to get last place if they penalize him


I won’t be watching once they move to apple next year but this is horseshite. Max almost gets taken out on same corner and no penalty for that driver. Bearman got fricked by this lame arse sport. They have ruined it by overpolicing stuff and now anytime there is racing all I think of is who gets a penalty. Thats not racing.

Max is making Orange sweat late this season. I want chaos tomorrow with Max winning. But my mindset is on letting go of this sport so not as invested going forward.

I will always have Max not caving to the leftist agenda when he did not take a knee during the BLM scam. At that moment he gained me as a fan for life. I will catch up on social media next year just to see whats going on but won’t be watching.

If George had passed, and not given the spot back, he would have been penalized as well.

He just needed to dive bomb harder and be ahead at the apex for it to be legal.

I’m here for a three horse race down the stretch. Max is starting to feel inevitable


He has to out-point both Lando and Piastri by 10 points every single race for the rest of the season. It's not mathematically impossible, but it ain't happening.

He basically needs to win every single race and pray that Merc and Ferrari clogs the podium every time. It's a huge ask.

Or he just needs one more time for them both to come together and knock each other out of the race. If he keeps getting pole positions, the McLarens will be pretty close to each other during the races and the pressure will ramp up for them…

It’s not as improbable as you may think, proven today at the sprint race. Max is so good at Mexico, Brazil and Vegas. Gonna be a spicy ending to this championship that everyone thought was over at the summer break.

It could happen. Max has the mental edge over Lando and Oscar has been showing some cracks lately. If Oscar were to crash out today starting from 6th on the grid and Max takes the win things are gonna get real uncomfortable in the McLaren garage.

if max hadn't have run off it would have been a stroll/ocon crash. Same dive bomb move but ocon stayed on track.

Ant pushed out the edge of the track. Bearman can't just disappear

Hope they don’t poke an eye out with these trophies. Cool design tho, the skull is the layout of the track mirrored against itself.

Agree with all of this. It is the change in rules brought in over the last few years that pushing someone off the track isn't a problem if you don't hit them. It's the "you go off or we crash" mentality.

Maybe I'm seeing things, but the trophy kind of reminds me of:

Yuki +4 already. No one else is more than +1.

Oh wait, Stroll is +2.

Edit: Yuki was complaining about Lawson holding him up "on purpose" in qualy. (On reddit some people seemed to agree and pointed out Lawson's clashes with Perez.) So maybe he just underqualified and now is where he should have been.

Sainz and Antonelli crash.

Sainz probably was too aggressive trying to pass Kimi.

I saw it live because I was in Yuki's cockpit.

Yeah that was Sainz's fault.

Pretty ambitious move by Sainz.

Bearman and Hulk are in the points!

Long way to go though...
