That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:
“I bet I just put my compass down and kicked every 4 degrees”

I don’t know if you mean it stops the speculation and he’s gonna stay in the seat or of it’ll stop the speculation and he’ll be out of the seat.
I guess I’m not convinced of much by this quote?
Totally agree. It’s a bad idea for the team (could lose his talent) and for Oscar to play this game. If it was 10 points between max and Lando? Sure, play wingman. For this? Nah
8 actually, that was when Max had the fastest lap partway through the race. Lando got it on the last lap
Yup, squandered chance is the name of the game
Agree, it’s like the “Checo will challenge Max for WDC” in 2023 media spin.
The drivers are good, the car is great. The team is not acting like they wanna win the WDC and barely like they wanna win the WCC. They’re like surprised to find themselves up in the field
Yeah, McLaren is not acting like a front running team at all. I mean they could’ve easily hung 1 or both cars out there and responded to Ferrari pitting.
As for team orders … The balance between a far reaching WDC and keeping both drivers happy enough and just getting the WCC, touch call. I don’t envy Stella/Brown for having to make it.
I don’t see a world where Max doesn’t win the WDC, even with these pace differences
I’d love to see her get a shot in F2. It’s a bummer Formula W is so far distant in terms of power from the “main” Formula feeders
They did say that, and they corrected themselves after or at the end of FP1. Old floor and they were looking for deltas between lewis and kimi
On F1TV they reported it was the new PU fitted but it could be wrong. I was very surprised to hear it, usually the wait till Saturday
Rough for George, having his new engine bonk the wall already. No surprise on a monza engine swap with 8 to go after.
What a silly article.
He went faster than anyone else in FP1 and overheated the tires and then crashed. Doing speed delta comparisons isn’t useful except to say that he’s comfy pushing to the limit of the car.
A fine sign, and he might be excellent in the car. But this is a silly article.
I don’t disagree with him, but James has been spicy recently
Poor George. Must be hard to stand there and watch your car and new upgrade go into the wall
That’s fair, I guess the seats are really narrowing down. I guess it’s more than Williams wants to be a legit team, not a stepping stone. Someone has to keep the seat warm and not crash it till Carlos gets in it
Fair point, always a risk If someone isn’t in your car. But if Merc drags their heels someone could always pick Kimi up first
Huh. Those are certainly trophies
I’m honestly surprised it’s not Mick or Kimi (freshly 18 years old)
Oh that is a weird table. It looks good on the Wikipedia app.
Either way, very excited for the season to go so long into December this year. A shorter off season might be worse for everyone in F1, but it’s nice for me :)
A team? Hell, Ferrari is a good weekend away from being in the mix too. 3 way WCC fight with 7 people fighting for race wins? Incredible.
