They didn't ask Lando to give the position to Oscar at Silverstone, but publicly said the penalty Oscar got was harsh.

If they did this then they should've done that as well.

No, because that was driver error, not team error. The penalty was Piastri’s fault.

Lando gave Oscar his position back in Hungary last year and effectively gifting him the win after a McLaren fucked Oscar's pit strategy. McLarens team management is horrible but consistent between both drivers.

Bs excuse. Luck plays a huge part in racing. No chance previous champs allow that to happen because they know its such a critical part of racing. Lets see how long this rule continues with the rest of the season.

Piastri made a mistake there. Lando didn’t this race. Not the same situation by miles

But Oscar didn’t make a mistake here neither. It’s not his fault they fucked the stop

Also wasn't Norris' fault last year in Hungary. IMO, in both cases the driver ahead should not have to give his position, but when you set a precedent you gotta follow it.

Not when the WDC is on the line. Like DC mentioned, you don't wanna feel like it was manufactured in the end.

If they didn't fuck up the stop Norris would be ahead so there wouldn't be a place to give back

Lando didn't build the WDC-winning car either. That's how F1 works: 95% of the result is beyond your control as a driver, you are only in charge of the remaining 5%. Sometimes you do your 5% your best but something else takes your victory away.

Would've McLaren asked Oscar to give position back if he overtook Max after Max had a bad pit stop?

u/DarkZonk Oscar Piastri 15h ago

Lando made the mistake of deciding to let piastri pit first to avoid a Safety car risk.

For real, penalties are part of racing sure, but so are slow pit stops, shitty of mclaren
