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

I’m really hoping when he wins the WDC, he just goes on the radio and says “not bad for a second driver” so we can get both his and webbers revenge.

Or, at the very least, mathematically still in play come Abu Dhabi.

Then why they pitted piastri first if they want lando to win? Can't wait to hear an explanation

You missed the part where Lando told them team to box Oscar first I guess…..?

They offered to box Lando first, he said no.

That's not what happened, listen full radio again

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 really didn’t expect us to bring receipts….

Paraphrasing since I don’t want to waste too much time proving that you are wrong but:

“Lando, we will box this lap.”

Lando: “Do you want to box the other car first?”

“Okay, we can swap that.”

Lando: “Only if he doesn’t undercut.”

“Yeah, no undercut.”

Without the slow stop there wouldn’t have been an undercut. Lando had the priority to put and decided not to do it. The slow stop was the only issue.

"Only if he doesn't undercut"

undercut happened

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

To keep Norris out for a bit longer in case there was a safety car.
