Braindead move by Piastri to not demand to pit on lap 25. He had a 4 second lead and would’ve been safe from the undercut. Norris would’ve had to pit on 24 and would’ve had one less lap to build the gap to Alonso.

McLaren could very well lose a race where they had the 2 fastest cars, started 1-2 on the grid and neither car had a wreck or mechanical problem.

I’m honestly team anyone but Max, but holy shit has Norris completely fucked his Championship?

McLaren screwed up by not pitting behind the safety car.

I would blame the team here.  They made a bad choice in the beginning that brought about the worst possible result for them in the drivers championship.

Blaming Oscar for team strategy mistake is a take.

lol wut.
 

He was in the lead. He gets to decide when he pits.  He should have told the team he was pitting on lap 25.

So I know nothing about F1, I’m fully a Netflix fan. But it seems to me that it kinda sucks that many races are mostly about pitting strategy vs actual racing / passing. Also, there’s something about the F1 cars not looking like “real” cars that makes it kind of overly clinical. 

It's an engineering contest.

F1 is a competition of which team builds the fastest cars, which determines the order. Driver variability adds +/- 2 places. Strategy adds +/- 2. Then luck does the rest. 

So in a typical race where everything falls near the middle of the +/- distribution and there's no random shit you would see results like:

Team A, A, B, C, C, B, D, D, E, F

LOL ... well done McLaren. You don't wanna lock this shit up today? OK. Cool. Max is here for it.

how are they so bad at picking tracks for sprints? outside of ALO dropping down, how many passes happened after lap 1? 

"let's just make every sprint race a shitty version of Monaco without the glitz where literally all that matters is quali and the first 30 seconds of the race"

I don't think they pick the tracks based on any sprint-friendly characteristics. It's more about which circuits want a sprint. COTA has had one every year since they were expanded iirc. That's because they were desperate to make a better showing on Fridays to help justify the state subsidy money, and at the same time, it seems he uses it as an excuse to further weaken the support series slate for the weekend.

By comparison, I’d watch this every week if it was always like this:

Carry on. 

100% V8SC does not disappoint. I go back and forth between them and MotoGP being the best racing on the planet (outside of karting). Great stuff.

Hamilton doesn’t get out of Q1 in Sprint Qualifying. Wow.

It's sad. Lost to his teammate 3 of the lasst 4 years now iirc. Lewis sounds completely broken in the pen interviews.

I don't think anyone is going to try the fairness method again when it comes to handling teammates competing for a title after seeing how it played out for McLaren.  Then again most teams probably already knew it was a bad idea.  It still probably would have worked out fine if Red Bull didn't fire Horner mid-season.

Agree. And I still believe that's exactly what he had planned to do after 2021.

Should have retired after 21. One million percent believe the BOT retirement thing was set up for him

Wait, the team that made drivers switch positions because of "fariness" once again fucked up a decision?

Who could have possibly since this coming?

McLaren deserves ever bit of shit and scorn thrown their way and oh, fuck Zach Brown just because you are an arrogant, unlikeable fuck.

Agreed and loved his interview before the race.

Oh, just incase I wasn't clear above, FUCK ZACH BROWN.
