🗣 Zak Brown was just asked if the driver swap was planned and answered:

"Not surprised by it"

@_Hollaback_Girl @iqfd16 @oscpenthusiast It’s irrelevant if it changes your point or not, it’s official information/statement vs. rumors. And yes, actual information is crucial, more so in this day and age when people blindly believe what they read in a random social media post.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@_Hollaback_Girl @iqfd16 @oscpenthusiast Zak Brown didn’t bring him, F1/Liberty media and the FIA brought him and requested McLaren to host him since it was the nearest garage for security reasons.

@sean_johnson57 @stillcounting_4 Hard to say, not being stuck for so long behind Leclerc that had DRS from Tsunoda and instead being directly behind Yuki could’ve given him a much better chance to overtake at the beginning of the 1st stint with fresher mediums.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@sean_johnson57 @stillcounting_4 The SC restart was very bad. With a better start he could’ve avoided the DRS trains and maybe it would’ve given him a chance to overtake.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@sean_johnson57 @stillcounting_4 Imo this weekend both McLaren and Lando did a few costly mistakes, neither of them maximized their chances, Lando with his execution and the team with strategy and pit stops.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@sean_johnson57 @stillcounting_4 Best case scenario he would’ve been fractionally ahead, but he could’ve also come out beside or just behind him. Most probably he would’ve still had to fight with Leclerc, especially with the cooler tyres. He also had to close the gap to Lawson so Tsunoda drops behind.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@F1_Mitchell Yes, they had a few upgrades in Monza.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@clovrleafmotors He didn’t suggest Oscar to pit first, it was a team decision.

[Motorsport @Motorsport]

Do you like team orders: no or no?

Here’s the radio from McLaren when Oscar Piastri was asked to let Lando Norris pass.

Via F1

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@maxsbulls @Louisxsun28 No, they wanted to pit Piastri first to cover Leclerc, they said it on the radio. Lando agreed under the condition of not giving Oscar an undercut.

[james @ScenarioSeven]

will joseph: “we’ll box onto the soft this lap”

lando: “do you wanna box the other car first?”

will: “yeah, we’ll do that, we’ll swap it around, stay out”

lando: “only if he doesn’t have the gap, otherwise i’ll box first”

will: “there will be no undercut”

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@F1GuyDan They also fucked him by not pitting him first same as they always do with their car that is ahead on track, this not only brought Piastri in his DRS, but also gave him the undercut with the slow pit stop.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@Lesefan78 @SportmphMark It’s not only this article, but the same narratives that are shared on the podcast, in the article where they give their verdict on title chances and so on. It’s a recurrent theme.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@wearetherace Journalism these days…if you insist on mentioning both Q3 runs when the gaps were more than marginal, at least get the facts right. Norris was quicker on the 2nd run.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@SportmphMark Another double standard when it comes to their ability to improve is that Oscar is always given his deserved flowers for building up through a weekend while Lando’s intense work to adapt his driving style to the new car is almost never mentioned.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@SportmphMark Add to this the 2 lunges from Austria and Hungary, that because of Lando’s aid didn’t end in 1 or both cars being damaged.

[Cati A @CatiAaaR]

@Fred__18 Norris said that on their data he was ahead coming out of the last corner.

[dani🔸 @fourln1]

“For tomorrow do you think all down to the first corner or there’s opportunity during the race?”
Lando: “just the first corner, there’s not a lot of opportunities after that specially with the rules that we have as a team there’s not much I can do”
