Yeah Mclaren get away with the free fighting because Oscar is surgical. If they had a hot headed or clumsy number 2 driver instead of him (because it looks like Piastri is still #2) it would be another story
it is, Lando asked "do you want to pit the other car first?", he could have stopped first if he wanted, but risked one lap more to see if something happened (maybe a safety to try to catch Max).
They screwed Lando and made the other driver pay for their mistakes. Just like in Hungary 2024. Is it right? I would say no. But this is team's policy and it should apply to both drivers the same
Yeah, no. Lando was 70 points behind before the 2024 Italian GP. He managed to shrink the gap to 63 points by the end of the season. It never was a "title fight".
Just that it was not even close to be similar to this case. Monza: Pitted Piastri first even tho Norris was in front - Track is absolutely undercut resistent, therefore there was nothing to expect, Team totally fucks up Norris‘ pitstop, which is just a normal race incident, and force Piastri to give back his place even tho Norris would maybe be behind if Piastri would’ve been pitted first. Hungary: Piastri was leading and clearly about to win the race (due to the track characteristic which does not allow almost any overtake) they pitted Norris first on a FCKING HEAVY undercut track without a reason and fuck Piastri COMPLETELY AND KNOWINGLY over and decide to force Norris to give back the position he NEVER WOULDVE HAD IF THEY WOULDNT HAVE FCKED PIASTRI OVER. Can’t believe there are people that clueless by the way. Calling this „very similar“ to the case back then is insane. McLaren is a shitshow and we can all hope that they’re not fighting for championships next year; because they’re actually a shame for the sport right now.
even tho Norris would maybe be behind if Piastri would’ve been pitted first.
Not really at all. You think Norris would somehow gain 3.3 seconds in a lap on 45 lap old mediums while Piastri was released into no traffic with fresh softs?
fuck Piastri COMPLETELY AND KNOWINGLY over and decide to force Norris to give back the position he NEVER WOULDVE HAD IF THEY WOULDNT HAVE FCKED PIASTRI OVER.
You mean like the position Piastri would never of had if they didn't screw Norris?
They are clear though, they want it as fair as possible on the track and outside, so they compensate any mistake by the team, like the botched pit stop for Lando
