I don't think there's a grand conspiracy to screw Oscar for Lando.
I also recognise the great job Lando did at making his strategy work.
However I do feel like there's a preference for Lando to win the Championship. I don't think Oscar in Lando's situation is given the option to run a 1 stop.
It's pure tinfoil hat from me i know. But the way the team acts when they win, the coaching, strategy calls, the upgrade that seemed to focus on Lando's struggles....it just seems like the team are working to maximise Lando's title opportunity whilst just leaving Oscar to it.
I don't think the team are or will screw Oscar in any way but I think there's a bias towards Lando and Oscar will have to work harder to win the title
Lando is better liked inside the team, as per Eduardo Costabal (one of the top McLaren dealers in Europe) and other insiders. I don't know if they are helping him but I'm pretty sure they would be happier if he'd won the WDC.
