@KHoopFantasy@McLarenF1 Have you actually looked at the lap times? Lando was not That far off piastri. He just lost so much time bc mclaren left him out way too long TWICE
Ive been saying. Lando wasnt that far off piastri. He just looked worse bc mclaren extended twice for no fucking reason he lost sooo much time bc of their strategy
Lando was 1.5 seconds behind Oscar keeping a good distance to not overheat the tyres.
Dropped to 2.2 behind after he was told to extend the stint when Oscar pitted for the first time.
After the pitstops Lando was 6 seconds behind Oscar
Lando was 6.2 seconds behind Oscar when Oscar pitted for the second time.
When Lando pitted he came out 13.5 seconds behind Oscar.
Then finished 10 seconds behind in the end.
ALL of the time lost was caused through the pitstops and strategy.
lando’s race today:
will: we’re gonna pit to cover hadjar
lando: *pushes 100%*
will: actually we’re gonna extend
lando: *starts managing*
will: box box
lando: *comes out 7s behind hadjar*
will: the plan is to extend as long as possible
lando: *starts managing*
will: box box
Mclaren couldve done a 1 stop and Tried to win some positions. Even if everyone up to p8 overtakes him (bc lawson in p9 is far enough behind) it was worth a shot now they’ve boxed him and just guaranteed a p8
They boxed lewis off the hards too early, put him in traffic with softs that last maybe 15 laps then had to box him again, into traffic Again, and now he has to overtake all these people Again like what are they doing
Lando’s pace obviously hasnt been the best but its crazy that they let hadjar undercut him and we just have to live with dozens and dozens of these strategy mistakes from mclaren and they never fucking change anything
total chaos…mclaren tell lando to use 100% pace and prepare to pit to cover hadjar…they pit oscar instead, tell lando to back off, but he’s already used up the tyre life…
