2026 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team

We gave place to Hadjar. Nice

Another super conservative call by the team, going a couple of laps longer to lose a spot against Hadjar and not gain anything strategy wise.

There you go

Can't believe how bad the race pace is. How have things gone so wrong?

I don't think pace is awful. It is just a little bit slower.

Yes I can see oscar is enjoying the hard tyres more.

Not sure if lando is struggling with brakes still?

[michl420]

Pace is coming up now, maybe conserve brakes.

Landos pace on the hards looks ok actually. He made up 6-7 seconds on Oscar and Hadjar that stint.

[Avocado]

Pace is good! Come on, Oscar!

[Mcl_G10]

Lando should of stopped

Edit, he did stop im a few minutes behind.

[jacme22]

Lando's extra laps on the medium killed his race. On Hards pace looks fine.

[Xero]

Oscar having a good race, also good pace on hards. Lando might catch Hadjar/Leclerc.

[Mcl_G10]

Reel them in lando

[CjC]

Impressive from Piastri. Didn’t think Mclaren would have beaten a Ferrari today

[jacme22]

Close, small mistake kill his chances of overtaking hadjar. Good pace on hards. Close to leaders

[Emag]

One of the weakest races from Lando in a while. Complete NPC the whole time and he made 3 mistakes into T3 that might have cost 4-5 seconds in total on critical moments. In any case, McLaren have drifted behind RedBull now and they only finished ahead of Ferrari with Piastri because for some reason Ferrari had abbysmal degradation here.

They have a lot of work to do. McLaren aren't really winning anything meaningful this season, but they have to set themselves up to be contenders again next season.
