2026 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team

McLaren has upper hand both strategy wise and tire wise but who knows what happens in the race. Hamilton starting further back is also a positive as he looked to be faster of the two Ferraris.

Fire Piastri and sign Verstappen. If this team have any common sense and serious about business, they should do that.

No, we don’t need him, let him stay in the team that he and his dad destroyed.

Piastri was impeded by Hamilton on his last flying lap. For all we know Oscar may have been on pole.

Yeah, I think Piastri could easily get 2-3 tenths on his last run and line up in P3 (before HAM penalty). Didn't think it was a bad weekend by him especially as he missed out on FP1 and his car was used to compare old parts to the new parts.

Hopefully he can stay glued to the ANT/LEC tomorrow and give strategic options to McLaren.

Amazing job by Lando, as I expected Super happy for him and for his performance. Or maybe for his and his crew performance. Cause maybe is only me, but more and more there is a guy at McLaren that I increasingly don't like.
And a little context, Fred Vasseur and Lewis were making sure the first thing they do is congratulate Lando for his pole while stella just goes “it’s a bit of a surprise”. This kills me so bad. But he didn't forget to underline how difficult was for Oscar missing FP1.

Lando was top3 in FP2, P1 in FP3 and P1 in quali Q1, Q2 and Q3 and stella is like Alonso is on pole.



So imo if Max is coming to McLaren, considering also the two months ago rumors, Stella will also leave, and GP will be TP.

And this post brought me a smile. Nice club for Lando.

He should leave to become Oscars manager…
