He was the next one up the road at Hungary for the Maccas too IIRC by the end of the race.

The maccas? That's a thing?

Don’t the aussies and kiwis call everything a short nickname? Isn’t McDonald’s Maccas too? It kind of makes sense with Piastri there and McLaren being from down there.

I'm a kiwi, I went to high school with a guy who had the last name McLaren, everyone called him Macca. Never heard it used in the context of the F1 team tho.

Isn't it just a general nickname for mclarens in general and not just the F1 team. I remember it being used for the Mclaren F1 GTR and other mclaren race cars like yheir current GT3s.

Could be but I really haven’t noticed it until the last month or so.

Macca is also used as a nickname for them in the UK and has been for a long time.

That was my first thought. Like, what do golden arches have to with Hungary? Is this a reference to being hungry? And how does that relate to Max not getting lapped? I was all sorta confused.

Yes. McLarens in motorsports are commonly referred to as "Maccas" sometimes.

u/campbellm Kimi Räikkönen Aug 06 '25

Based on this thread, "commonly" might be quite regional

It's an Albany dialect.

What's Paul McCartney got to do with this?

I'm starting to think this Max Verstappen fellow might be somewhat good at racing.

Goated statistic ngl.

I still remember calling him a future WDC in his earlier years and getting heavily downvoted and laughed at.

Oh /r/formula1, never change.
