2025 McLaren F1 Team

Mclaren should be able to easily win Austria. The team was good at that track when they had a bad car. It should be a walk in the park now.

It doesn't quite work like that, but our traditional good performance at Austria and Silverstone do warrant some optimism. However, we've had major updates at some of those races, so this may well turn out to be a hard fight.

Any news regarding stewards summoning Piastri for the collision with Norris and Russell's supposed brake check?

[mwillems]

I haven't seen, But this stuff doesn't normally get penalised, expect it will amount to nothing.

[Darth-Piekus]

I hope you are right but knowing the FIA they might try to fix something to make the title fight more interesting.

Normally it’s a 3 place grid drop for causing a collision.

With a team mate a penalty is very rare though if it was someone else it would I think be pretty clear.

Even if they do not a chance Oscar gets a penalty out of it (and I see almost zero Lando does here either) a penalty may help Oscar takes Lando more out of threat for the next race. Would takes right now Oscars main thereat out.

5 second penalty for Lando

There hasn't been a track so far where they shouldn't have easily won.

5 second penalty for Lando

A little surprised if it was an opponent I think it was a clear penalty though normally they let these things go.

Throwing away 10 valuable points from Lando to spice up the race and inter team racing was kind of stupid as I see. I don't any rosy point here to create something out of nothing, is it not normal that your car can't be the best on all tracks at all times.

The original posts were about Oscars SC infringement, for which they took no meaningful action.

In Landos case they gave him a meaningless penalty which will have no effect.

As stated, it will amount to nothing.

It's the third weekend where we are legitimately not the best. There will likely be more.

Ill say it to the end of time. Mclaren needs special conditions to be the best car just like last years car. Oscar Piastri is making the difference this year.
