Good review
Thank you!
I'm unsure how to feel about what McLaren did. On one hand I'm pleased Oscar got his first win, and the start of the race he was driving better, but what happened at the end really takes the shine off his first win. I would rather see him win purely on merit, if he had cruised up behind Lando at the end I could understand changing positions, but he was falling back. Then again, they should have had Oscar pit first since he was in the lead, and the team allowed Lando to do the undercut, which was also a bit unfair. I can understand what the team were trying to do, protect against RB and Mercs, but most drivers would not have given the place back. I feel like the team really screwed things up for both of them, but I'm sure they weren't intending to make things so awkward, but they did. One thing though, I feel like it's another example of Lando being too much of a nice guy to be a champion, and none of the McLaren drivers of the past would have moved over like that, but that was long before Zac and back then ignoring team orders was normal. Multi championship winning drivers were not nice guys in the car.
I'll repeat my main comment on your IG, McLaren were busy defending fresh air, RB and Merc had no chance of beating them. I guess if they keep winning they'll get better at managing the drivers.
Perez - sorry but I kind of disagree with you there, I don't think it was a good drive from him, and to be fair even from GR, to me they both made places up based on strategy rather than on track overtakes. I still feel like Perez is struggling, but I'm not convinced RB will make a change. There is no way they'll put Yuki in that seat. I doubt they'll put Liam straight into the top team, and even though I'm sure he'd accept if it was offered, I'm not even sure it would be good for him being under that kind of pressure straight away. That leaves DR, who is doing ok but not spectacular either, maybe they'll take a risk and see if he can do better than Perez. If not DR, then they could get someone else to join, but that then leaves them with the same headache of more drivers than seats.
Max caused it, but I'm ok with him not getting a penalty. Sim racing, I don't think that had any impact at all, he's done it many times before, and still won. Each driver prepares in their own way.
Driver of the day, for me Lando, he drove the better overall race.
Ferrari did ok, but I'm sure they want more than that. I think the main reason why they've invested in Lewis and tried to get AN is they really want their F1 team to be performing at the same level as their WEC team. I'm sure they'd love to win all 4 championships in the same year, especially if that included wins at Monaco, Monza, and Le Mans. I mean winning in sprint and endurance is as good as it gets in motor racing. No doubt RB want the same thing too.
Thank you, we always love your input! 😀
