[Famine]

That whole "Oscar's such a cool customer" thing is fading quick, huh? He's currently losing 3pt from his entire-race's-worth lead due to an equivocal incident and raging about it being unfair.

On the flip side, "we gave Lando a bad pit stop so please let him past" is, was, and always will be stupid and was bound to cause something like this at some point down the line.

 

[Veinz]

its a bluff

 

[Fezzik]

Oscar needs to cut the gap ahead down to about 3 secs, just so he's right in the pitstop f-up window when Lando comes in

Maybe we will get "Lando locked up, and lost time, Oscar, please lock up to make it fair" next time.

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

How did Bortoleto’s front wing get damaged, so much so that an emergency stop was necessary (during which one of his tyres nearly rolled into the fastlane right as Tsunoda drove past)?

 

[Fezzik]

Leclerc pitted. If McLaren are being fair they need to let Piastri pit first to protect himself from the undercut, never mind that Norris is ahead.
That''s how they've done it before.

The word fair seems to only apply to Norris this season.

Doing that now would be quite different from Monza; we’re currently much earlier in the race, and there is more up for grabs.

No different at all. They just asked Lando about the exact Monza scenario.
Lando wasn't willing to give up priority, pits now.

 

[MagpieRacer]

No different at all. They just asked Lando about the exact Monza scenario.

And he has said no he's not happy for Piastri to cover Leclerc.

Team game out the window from now on. Which I was hoping/expecting once the constructors is sorted which it looks like it will be.

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

Except the Monza scenario was much later in the race.

EDIT: You’re right; it’s IDENTICAL to the Monza scenario 😭

 

[Fezzik]

Except the Monza scenario was much later in the race.

1 stop race, so irrelevant.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Except the Monza scenario was much later in the race.

Irrelevant.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh McLaren... 😤

 

[Blitz24]

Piastri with a slow stop as the tire doesn't come off.

 

[Famine]

I can predict the next radio message from Piastri...


Bunch of slow stops today though.

 

[Fezzik]

Only fair to f-up a Piastri stop

 

[Grayfox]

Will Lando slow down to make it fair?
Nah

 

[MagpieRacer]

McLaren maybe need to start reviewing their equipment, seems whoever gets the 2nd stop gets absolutely shafted with slow changes.

 

[KAlex122]

I completely oversaw that Verstappen's pace was better than Norris' and VER is still ahead.

 

[Grayfox]

McLaren maybe need to start reviewing their equipment, seems whoever gets the 2nd stop gets absolutely shafted with slow changes.

It is same equipment.
It could be the team doing to fast.

or
British Team, British Driver, British Bias

 

[MagpieRacer]

Wow Ollie Bearman, that was brilliant, rude, but brilliant.

 

[MagpieRacer]

It is same equipment.

I know it's the same stuff, but it's quite regular now for McLaren that the guy coming in 2nd gets a slow stop, had happened a few times to Norris and now Piastri, is their stuff overheating? Not effective on quickfire stops?

 

[Blitz24]

"If you speak to me every lap, I will disconnect the radio."

A new Kimi is appearing?

 

[Fezzik]

At least the constructors championship will be wrapped up today, so no reason for any more papaya rules.
Just let them fight to the end.

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

And he has said no he's not happy for Piastri to cover Leclerc.

Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s really fair from McLaren (under their doctrine of ‘Papaya rules’) to give the driver ahead control over whether or not the McLaren behind gets to cover a rival team driver’s undercut.

Perhaps it is, I don’t know

 

[Veinz]

Verstappen is getting closer

 

[MagpieRacer]

Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s really fair from McLaren (under their doctrine of ‘Papaya rules’) to give the driver ahead control over whether or not the McLaren behind gets to cover a rival team driver’s undercut.

It's just rubbish really, and as Famine said above, entirely bought on by McLaren themselves. Doesn't surprise me that Piastris patience is wearing thin.

 

[Fezzik]

I love Fernando

 

[Veinz]

I hope Albon gives him a real hard time just to hear the radio message

Russel is going to catch a pack of backmarkers soon
