I suppose it would depend on which driver you ask. 

I'm sure Lando is happy as the trailing in points driver to be able to fight his teammate for wins...but still kind of pissed that he, as the more experienced driver, wasn't the clear #1 from when Oscar was a rookie.

I'm sure Oscar thinks his much improved Saturday results and race consistency should have earned him priority...but is also glad, as a 2nd year driver, that team orders weren't put in place from Race 1. 

Not saying McLaren is handling it will, but there's also not a clear answer either.

 

 

Yeah, I can see that angle. If I’m McLaren they have 2 good drivers in the fastest car so no more papaya and let the best man win.

Lando pulled away in clean air when Oscar was forced to fight Charles the first 4 laps after Charles got around him at the start, compromising his tires as Max just left Norris in the dust.  Norris had the tire advantage between the two and was still significantly slower at the end of the stint

Pirelli completely fucked over this race by going a compound too hard. Rinse. Repeat. 

Yep. The hard could have done a full race distance pretty eassily imho. Stupid.

since we have another weekend of no racing......

 

 

Not sure which was crazier about Clark's career.

His win percentage or the amount of races he competed in over multiple classes.   He wasn't flying on a private jet or taking a modern train.

I saw that a couple weeks ago.  I like how Max, at the end, mentioned that he doesn't normally like to do press, but he enjoyed that one.

I'm a Mustang guy and now have two in the family, that GTD is pretty, pretty cool.

Red Bull was so impressed with Lindblad ending three other drivers races in the Monza F2 race and sitting 7th in the F2 championship that they just had to rush him up to F1 right now. And also disrupting an amazing season for Hadjar in the process and forcing him to acclimate to an extremely difficult car mid-season. Helmut Marko must have a fetish for ruining promising racing careers. It's the only explanation.

This is for next year though? I haven’t seen anything indicating that there is any swapping to be done this year.

You're right. I saw some YT short that said it was this year. I should know better than to trust some of shitty sources/AI crap.  

 

Still not sure my point changes much. Lindblad does not look ready for F1, and moving Hadjar seems like he'll join the long list of quality, promising drivers RB ruins/sets back about 5 years.

That I do agree with.
