2025 McLaren F1 Team

This will be the 1 and 2. Do feel a bit for Lando, as this one is no real fault of his own.

1-2 with one of the drivers having been punted down to P6 at the start, and the amount of fighting they've done is pretty good. And if there's no further incidents the race will end with the closest other car being 30 seconds back.

In guess they manage their paces

They were making the gap faster once they got by Max.

I know I know. But 0.5s a lap is still a massive advantage.

Ignore emag. I didn't say the words he used.

Come on man, you literally said the gap wasn't growing at a great pace. Just spinning it now :

Watching the gap to Russell and it isn't growing at any great pace. We seemed faster earlier.

It's clearly a comparison to earlier within the context of the car not being as pacey on hards.

Norris closing the gap, I know there is traffic and all but we might get a fight for victory.

Not sure I am happy about that as a team fan first, but Norris deserves to try.

Lando race pace showing since he got p2.

Now 30secs ahead

[Darth-Piekus]

I would prefer if they finished like this. We don't need an accident. 9 more laps.

[mwillems]

I'd like a little battle, but I doubt it will happen.

The pace today is crazy!!! So good! What happened?

It's finally a hot race without rain.

Hot asphalt!

Good times ahead of us, lads.

[mwillems]

Amazing race. Absolutely dominant.

I feel for Lando with the start.

[Ground Effect]

This is why I paid for F1TV!!!! Top drive, Lando a bit unlucky, strong drive from Oscar as well!

[Emag]

In the end, Lando cost himself the win here, because he continues to treat Max like every other driver.

A rather boring race discounting the action in the first couple of laps, but this performance today is really ominous for the rest of the grid in the upcoming european hot stretch.
