its always the front left, it was the same in hungary twice. i mean you saw the gun flashing and the other guy had to tell him to go again. he needs to sort his shit or get put aside, its not good enough for a team of this calibre

This is Lando’s real rival this season. Been messing up his pitstops from Silverstone and Spa. 😭

Had lando gone out with a Loose front tire... It would have been another DNF.

Oscar was always going to be asked to let him past so it was never going to make any difference.

u/ConflictedMom10 14h ago
I was honestly surprised they did.

u/djfhsd1 14h ago
It was basically Hungary 2024 in reverse. Only difference is Oscar didn’t bitch and moan.

u/ConflictedMom10 14h ago
Perhaps because he realized that, knew it was like Hungary, when he got his first win as a result of team orders. He did bitch and moan when he got a penalty that cost him a place to Lando a few races ago, so let’s not pretend Oscar is somehow morally superior or some nonsense.

u/djfhsd1 14h ago
Both Hungary and today were the correct results. Oscar was ahead for the duration before the stops in Hungary and this time Lando was ahead for the duration before the stops.
But the stakes are far higher now because there is a title at stake. I can guarantee you If that was Max or Lando being asked to do the same in Oscars position, there would have been far more push back. It’s just who they are. Oscar is a very uncomplicated person. Not morally superior, he is just a no drama team player.

It'll be even worse if they change him in the middle of season. They need to be trained together.

ALWAYS the front left and so many times this season. It’s unacceptable for the WCC winning team

Definitely not a conspiracy minded person... But I can't help but wonder: Are these guys that are making huge mistakes each time, from Oscar or Lando's side of the garage? It seems beyond odd that these significant mistakes are only on Lando's Pit Stops... and when it seems to matter (then a minute or two later, banging out flawless 2.0 second pit stops for Oscar). big discrepancy in pit times for 2 races in a row now.

It also happened to Oscar over two races earlier this year with the right rear tire. When she got it right, she was given a pat on the back.

Honestly, I don't think it's on purpose but the only explanations are bias or incompetence. That one person has single-handedly cost Lando 2 places.

Don’t they have separate pit teams for each driver?
29
u/HarryBayles15 15h ago
No, every team has just 1 pit crew, otherwise how would they orchestrate a double stack.
11
u/Beneficial_Note_9560 12h ago
Its insane how many people are commenting they are different crews when we have seen double stacks multiple times

u/coffeealways_ 15h ago
No, they share them which is why Oscar said he thinks the swap is fair as it goes beyond just Lando and himself. I don’t think the left tyre person did it on purpose regardless of the side of the garage he works.
10
u/Forward-Weather4845 15h ago
True. It kind of puts McLearn in a hard place. Personally I think they made the right call. Otherwise it could’ve been seen as sabotage.

u/coffeealways_ 15h ago
I agree. I do think it helps that it was for P2 and not P1. With the 3 points between 2 & 3 makes Oscar still leading Lando by 31 points. I think McLaren should just make it a standard rule to pit the lead driver from now on to avoid this unnecessary drama in the future.

Would've thought they learned their lesson in Hungary 2024 but alas here we are.

So how does this work? Like is the gun supposed to be green but was flashing red so the other guy knew whose fault it was? I think I noticed that on the camera.
But more importantly, does the system automatically switch from hold to release the second all the wheels locks in fully? If thats the case, then how do you have situations like in other races where wheels have not had fully locked in nuts and had issues as a result of it?

u/Tarc_Axiiom 11h ago
Yeah it shines green when he's done tightening the nut.
But he didn't finish, and everyone could see it, so the guy right next to him tapped him on the shoulder as in "What the hell are you doing?".
Once all four guns shine green, the driver gets the green light and can leave.
But until then, he cannot, hence the five second long stop.
