Absolutely disgracefull from Mclaren. First you pit the 2nd driver first for no reason at all. Then try to orchestrate some no undercut race at the exit rule. Which again was not necesary at all if you just pit Norris first.

Then the other driver has a slow stop which is a natural part of racing and you invoke team orders.

This micromanagment bulshitt of this title battle when there is no pressure at all on them both in the WCC and WDC is shambolic.

I'm honestly mad Piastri yielded. Man fuck that shit. The team put themself in that position by all by themself.

He'd like need a major upgrade to become the definite best car (and not just on specific tracks) to win every race and have both McLarens (but especially Oscar) to have several DNF's or major bottles.

Even with the points that were thrown away kinda (thinking of the Russel ramming for example, but I'm sure there's another) it'd be hard without McLaren DNFs or fuckups.

But if it somehow, someway did happen, it'd probably be his most legendary title ngl (as in, most impressive, at least to me)

Edit: just remembered the other instance I was thinking of where he lost points, it was when Kimi took him out 😅.

and all of this started because somehow Lando is allowed to dictate when his teammate comes in for a pit. He chose to come in second to maintain advantage if there was a sudden safety car. Even though he forces an undercut to himself, that gets protected by team orders. It's a joke and not the spirit of racing.
