Any idea why Lando can’t go flat out through T12 is it?
Looks like McLaren are running the most wing or are they not? They have the slowest in top speed don't they?

So quick question. Remember 2021, 2022 and 2023 and how many times Lando Norris managed to gain place or places on race starts even beating Max Verstappen many times. What happened this year and not able to keep his first place in starts? Mclaren used to be a beast of a car in starts especially in 2021. Is it him or is it possibly a car set up? I notice his reaction is good and sometimes better than the opposition but he seems to be losing the charge a few gears later. What do you think?

Great question to ask half an hour before the sprint though, it will surely be a good discussion of this new topic noone talked about as of yet.

No idea who are you referring to or who that is. But you are not obliged to answer if you don't want to. Your comment was definitely unnecessary and out of topic.

Sprint time.

Great work by Oscar. This will give Lando the space he needs to convert.

Is Lando helping Oscar? Feels like he is just a touch.

Oscar is magnificent in turn 1/turn 2

Edit: either Lando is dropping to help Oscar, or he's not got the pace, hope it's the former

He said that he wants to give DRS to Oscar every lap so it's a team game. Brilliant team game for the moment.

Oscar doing a passable impression of Max Verstappen in his defence.

Oscars tyres are knackered now. He needs Carlos to hassle George

Oscar will be a liability in the race with that sort of pace. Lando needs to drive clear if they find themselves in that situation on the actual race.

Props on him for giving away a sprint win to repay Oscar though

Good job. An 1-2 with a perfect start, brilliant teamwork, and Lando being a gentleman giving back a place to repay Brazil.

That was an emotional finish. It gave me goosebumps.

I was expecting the swap since yesterday - altough Russell made that look impossible - and it happened.

I had the same hunch! And I still believe it’s him.

Anyways nicely done from McLaren, great teamwork. Sad as Ferrari fan to see the WCC slip away.

That was classy, really enjoyed that thank you from Lando. Team told him not to do it too lol

Top guy.

In Landos hands the car continues to show it can dominate like it did in Brazil until the rain.

It is him :lol: but I don’t know why he changed accounts and also denies it now.

Technically it didn't slip away yet. Mclaren needs 15 more points more than Ferrari in tomorrows race to get the championship mathematically. But first the team has to get the 1-2 on pole qualifications later.
