2025 McLaren F1 Team

I have said previously that lando can't afford a car to come between him and Oscar at the start. Unfortunately that happened.
Now he must try pass max and in turn lose alot of time to oscar.

Nice

It's Oscar v lando now.

Max will be under pressure from max later on.

yess...Let's goo!!

Any reason why not put them both inside? Norris is gonna lose a position now.

[Mcl_G10]

Make use of better tyre wear, same as ferrari.

[SilviuAgo]

Ya; maybe 20-23 laps on softs and rest on Mediums,

[Darth-Piekus]

Hopefully they know what they are doing cause at this point Max will be in front of them once they finish their pit stops.

[SilviuAgo]

Team asking Oscar if lap 25 is possible. The replay was Yes, but difficult.

And also used the best of his current tyre.

1 stop sounds optimistic but it looks like that's where mclaren are heading?

[mwillems]

Slow stop.

Oscar gained 8 tenths in that stop.

I can't say I like what I saw so far. We need to change once more and we put our drivers in doing so much work.

[SilviuAgo]

Hmmm...I observed this: McLaren pitstops started from some races (not to say that for all 2025 races) to be almost crap. They are going more and more to 3 seconds/stop than to 2 seconds/stop. Compared with the year when they were doing 1.8, now seems like a rookie team. 3 for Lando, 2.2 for Oscar. Nice job to put another almost 1 second between them.

[Darth-Piekus]

Hmmm. Max might got for 3 stops and us for 2 stops. Still I don't know why the team put our drivers on that position to work hard.

I don't understand what ur saying?

If we boxed earlier to cover max than we too would be on a 3 stop which is not best.

[Darth-Piekus]

Seems that you are right. Max will go for 3 pit stops so we only need one now. He however is much faster now with the new tyres and I'm still not confident. Max doesn't seem to be slowing down and he might actually go to the end.
