Piastri is nearly 30 seconds behind the leader after 16 laps. :?

Hadjar is gifting the podiums to the top three. They all have a free pitstop now. Thought these cars were meant to be easier to overtake. Have recent changes to the engine rules taken that away?

The Mercedes PU seems to really be terrible with regards to reliability. Hopefully we get simpler PU regulations for the next cycle so McLaren can make them themselves.

If LAndo takes one for the team, Oscar can get 4th. Russell has a 5 second penalty for pitlane speeding.

Does Piastri also have a problem? He has zero pace. Russell is only 10 seconds back despite Lando literally driving with the handbrake on.

It's impossible to compete if the car is not reliable. Hopefully they will iron out the issues after the summer.

Something's wrong with Piastri. He's going to lose the places to Russell, Hadjar, and Gasly

Hey, you can't say this isn't classic McLaren though. Sure, they're missing the speed at the moment, but the last 2 years were a bit of an outlier in their history. McLaren were always fast but breaking down every other race :lol:
