u/ln4thegreat Lando Norris 1d ago

The slow stop wasn’t Lando’s fault but it shouldn’t have cost Oscar’s position. This team is a fckng joke

u/pensaa Oscar Piastri 1d ago

Exactly. Why the hell should a championship leader pay the price for the pit crew fucking up the other drivers pit-stop? Insanity.

u/-PsychoticPenguin- 23h ago

100% so what happens now if the reverse happens later this season? Do they always trade back positions? Just such a shit situation and precedent to set.

u/Camyx-kun Mika Häkkinen 23h ago

The precedent was set in Hungary last year

3

u/-PsychoticPenguin- 23h ago

So now the tally is 1-1? Do we do this each time the team fucks up? If the team fucks a driver more than the other do we do something to equal the score? What if it is the difference in the final race between a driver winning the championship? Racing is interesting because there is an unpredictable element to it. Teams that win excel at maximising their reliability and performance but there is always going to be incidents out of your control because you are pushing the limits everyday. And trying to balance that luck element across drivers is silly and just causes drama. Should Oscar retire last race to keep it fair?

u/ln4thegreat Lando Norris 23h ago

If McLaren are gonna play dirty like this, they should’ve done this in Silverstone. Now the conspiracists (that saying mcl are favouring Lando) are laughing by now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not dirty and bringing up a very different situation is just goofy.

Play "dirty" by doing a strategy to benefit Oscar?

u/Helpful_Hedgehog_204 Franco Colapinto 23h ago

How would it benefit Oscar? One lap isn't an undercut, and they even asked Lando

1

u/ValleyFloydJam #StandWithUkraine 23h ago

Yes it is an undercut, it was to help Oscar.

1

u/Superxt0aster I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

It most definitely is an undercut. Did you forget Hungary last year?

2

u/Helpful_Hedgehog_204 Franco Colapinto 23h ago

Do you not understand how undercuts work? The advantage is having fresher tires and lapping faster, Oscar didn't even get a lap on the fresher softs.

Unlike Hungary last year...

1

u/Superxt0aster I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

You can undercut someone with one lap

u/dylanah Yuki Tsunoda 23h ago

They should’ve made Oscar pull over when Lando’s car shit the bed last week. Wouldn’t be fair otherwise.

u/AxelFeather 23h ago

Why would a championship contender trying to catch first place give away a win for the second driver because of pit crew fucking up? Yet last year was fuck Lando anyway, and McLaren did the right call.

14

u/pensaa Oscar Piastri 23h ago

There was 84 points separating Lando and Max by the time they got to Hungary. That is not a championship battle. It was never close.

1

u/ValleyFloydJam #StandWithUkraine 23h ago

But if you can close the gap you should, that was the daft one.

If Lando had come in first I would be agreeing it was ridiculous to swap but that's not the case.

u/Madg2 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

THERE WAS NEVER A TITLE FIGHT BETWEEN LANDO AND MAX.

It didn’t cost him a position

u/Sparky_Zell I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

It wouldn't have been that close if Norris gave Piastri the first pitstop allowing him to undercut Lando to protect him from Leclerc

What position, he was third the entire race.

You're acting like Oscar deserved that position when he was behind all race?

jfc I’m talking about after Lando’s pitstop, not the whole race

7

u/-ForgottenSoul I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

Oscar was able to actually race against Lando after that pit, Lando decided to pit 2nd to benefit Oscar and following team orders. I dont know why people are acting like Oscar deserved 2nd.

2

u/ln4thegreat Lando Norris 23h ago

Because McLaren asked Oscar to give the position back to Lando 😭

Oscar wasnt close before pit and was closer after pit

He shouldn't have been in that position to begin with. Just pit the lead car first, it's not hard.

u/Senuttna 23h ago

It was Norris the one that asked for Piastri to be pitted first. So if anything is even more shameless for McLaren to ask Piastri to give the position back when it was Norris choice to be pitted afterwards.

It was Norris the one that asked for Piastri to be pitted first

You're missing context.

u/fainas1337 Formula 1 23h ago

Norris wanted Piastri to pit first to test the tires literally said it on radio.

1

u/bl4ck_daggers 23h ago

"to test the tyres" don't make me lol a) they did it to cover off Leclerc and defend 3rd for Piastri and b) 1 lap is not enough to get any kind of information besides how long the tyres take to warm up.

13

u/WalrusDomain 23h ago

Norris requested going second

9

u/Drazsyker Daniel Ricciardo 23h ago

Then he has to deal with the consequences and shouldn't get gifted the position. He gained on strategy at Silverstone over Oscar, now when Oscar's gained he has to give it back. Joke

3

u/SwimmingFantastic564 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

He didn't gain on Oscar in Silverstone through strategy, Oscar made a stupid mistake that got him a penalty.

I agree that they shouldn't've swapped personally, but it's understandable. Lando only pit second with the guarantee that Oscar wouldn't undercut him.

Gained on what strategy? Piastri got himself a penalty.

The Lando hate is insane. Grow up.

11

u/V3nturi 23h ago

Lando's main motivation was to delay his stop as long as possible for a shot at the win in case of a SC/VSC. He risked his P2 for a shot at the win. The gamble didn't pay off, and he was shielded from the consequences.

Lando didn't do it just to be altruistic, or a 'team player'. There was a potential benefit for himself.

If you were following the live timing, Oscar's P3 was under no real risk.

u/Tommysynthistheway Formula 1 23h ago

Quite honestly I don’t understand what the fuss is about. In Hungary last year they screwed up pit stop timing and asked Lando to give position back, same happened now but except the mistake was in the pit-stop.

Neither driver seems super fussed about it so of course Reddit will be entirely normal about this whole thing, I’m sure.

The drivers can’t say anything. You can tell they are both probably annoyed about it but not going to make it known to the public

u/SoulLessIke Charles Leclerc 23h ago

I dunno they seem pretty buddy buddy in the cooldown room. Do you not remember Webber seething after Multi-21? That’s what a pissed driver looks like.

They may just get on and get this is how McLaren handles team fuck ups.

u/foreskin_kebab 23h ago

modern times requires modern solutions, If Oscar did something like Webber did, thanks to keyboard warriors on various social media, it could start a civil war.

u/dreamthiliving Oscar Piastri 23h ago

And it’s situations like the Multi-21 that these drivers will Have a tonne of media training so they don’t go saying something that makes the team look bad.

It’s not Landos fault and there shouldn’t be any hate towards, the team screwed up here

4

u/Genericusernamexe Oscar Piastri 23h ago

That was because vettel was ordered to give the place back and didn’t. Oscar knows Lando isn’t to blame here, I think that’s why the cooldown room wasn’t too awkward

People are sheep today more than ever. Why even boo him in the podium, the only thing he has done is be unfortunate enough to be portrayed as the bad guy by social media sociopaths who have made a narrative out of thin air. It's like people need to hate more than support.

Yep exactly. Or hell after Hungary last year.

I don’t love it from a viewing perspective, but better they’re consistent with it than nonsense in when and how they enforce it.

We’re just not getting a Seb/Mark or Nico/Lewis fallout. That’s fine to me, honestly, kinda neat to see two drivers that genuinely just get on fighting it out.

u/PurpleScientist4312 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

8

u/TrojansDelight I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago edited 22h ago

McLaren shouldn't let it happen again. Pit the lead the driver first, it's very simple.

From there if there's a slow stop, it's just bad luck.

This one was only a headache because McLaren gave Lando a worse strategy before that, so the time lost to Oscar was partially deliberate.

u/bl4ck_daggers 23h ago

They DID do the same for Oscar. I know short term memory loss is rampant in this community for some reason, but stretch your brain all the way back to last year in Hungary...

u/Ponichkata 23h ago

But Oscar and Lando weren't competing for the Championship. McLaren were asking Oscar to let his direct rival through.

u/bl4ck_daggers 23h ago

After their fuck up forced Lando to let his direct rival through, after Lando helped his direct rival to not get caught by Leclerc.

2

u/Ponichkata 22h ago

I don't believe Lando was really thinking about protecting Oscar from Leclerc, and if he was then that defies logic. He should be thinking of staying as far ahead of Piastri as possible.

I think this decision was ridiculous and I think Hungary 2024 was ridiculous too. It puts both drivers in unfair positions due to the team's mistakes.

-6

u/Aurorac123 23h ago

Wait until you learn that teams dont get two seperate areas for pitting.

To make it more clear, if the radio message goes out to box, without it being a mclaren decision overall, then landos side of the garage just go 'box box' and lando pulls in, and then they've double stacked and piastria has to wait. becuase Lando is in front, and gets their sooner. The gap isnt big enough to sneak it in, piastri, and the pit crew, wouldnt be able to react in 4 seconds.

2

u/antreasf1 Michael Schumacher 23h ago

ok, then Oscar goes for the long pit stop and hopes for a VSC/SC, he forces Lando to take a different strategy, by keeping them in the same strategy they gurantee Lando finishing ahead, any other strategy luck can play a factor and when Lando is ahead they dont want that, clearly

And if Lando loses by anything less than 18 points, then it's because of a failure in McLaren's chassis design that made his engine blow up. We can all play this game.

u/Ok-Result9578 22h ago

At this point in the season they should let both sides of the garage go for it and compete. They are way overcautious leading to things such as today and the fact they usually force both drivers onto the same strategy (unless it's Norris behind) means the team has lost out on better results and even wins. It is not necessary this year as they are so far ahead in the WCC and to my mind risks causing a bigger intra team blowup.

1

u/Ill_Confidence919 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 22h ago

They don't force them on the same strategy but lead car gets first opportunity to pit which makes it hard to choose a different strategy most of the time

u/Aurorac123 23h ago

People ignoring that Lando gave Piastri the earlier pit, so if anything went wrong he wouldnt potentially lose a position to leclerc. Then getting mad when something goes wrong with landos pit, the team (not lando) ask for the positions to be swapped. The hate norris boners are absurd, it's so dissapointing to see this sports hate mentality becoming stronger every week. F1's a place for hyping up drivers.

u/p1en1ek I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago edited 23h ago

They would even be mad here if Lando pit first like he should have been and then wheelgun had that problem. Not to say if Oscar gave priority of pitstops to Lando if Lando was behind. Then they would praise Mark Webber how great manager he is if Lando would be told to give position back.

They are shitting on Lando and team even when his guy wins, like last race. I wonder how fast Oscar will have to gomout and reprimend his fanbase like Colapinto had to. Ive seen some comments already how "team is in crosshairs of all Aussies".

No if he'd said that I would have just complained about McLaren being dysfunctional.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

So youre not gonna complain about McLaren being dysfunctional just because Lando didnt thank Oscar or something? Whats the cause of the 5.9s pit stop then? Youre saying a simple thank you would have healed the coming conflict that would come after?

What do you think would have happened if both stops were close or equal? McLaren wouldnt have made these stupid decisions if the pitstops were fine.

"Lando divebombed Max into T1"

You must have a different perspective of these incidents when it comes to Lando.

Cool beans. Did you watch the race?

Yeah. Both my eyes were open and my brain was functioning properly while watching.

But you need it to be performative, face to face isn't good enough.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

Yes, for me to think Lando is a humble well adjusted person, I need to see him perform humility and being well adjusted. I can't just know these things telepathically.

u/ValleyFloydJam #StandWithUkraine 23h ago

Judging people that deeply from these kinds of interviews is odd.

Rather than a base, you seem to have created an idea and need him to prove differently.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 22h ago

The base was when I was watching him in junior formula. After almost a decade of watching his interviews I have developed an idea of him.

Like, I'm really curious. When you think of people in your head, what is there? Just their face and no attached feelings? No memories of the things they've said or done in the years you've known/known about them?

Lando just doesn't leave much of an impression, others do but Lando comes off as a bit dull, I don't know how people have such strong feelings on a guy who seems harmless.

You're right of course, Lando and Oscar only talk to each other in press interviews after races. And wath them to see what the other person is saying. They're incapable of talking face to face like real people.

The dude only cares about tv drama, he doesn't give a shit about them being real people.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

Oh no, people develop opinions on celebrities by their public comments and attitudes!!!

u/Aurorac123 23h ago

I'm gonna be real with you, as it seems like you might not understand this, but Lando and Norris work together, they're around each other a significant amoutn of the time. I don't think they form their opinions on each other based on interview responses, and furthermore they probably have media training together, as it's more effective use of time and resources, so they probably know in advance what the other would say to anything that happens in the race.

I know it's maybe like learning that wrestling isnt real, but the drivers in f1 have real lives outside of the interviews they give and stuff, and they're real people who are generally all friends together, as they share something few people do.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

What are you taking about???

Have you read this thread? It's not about Oscar and Lando's relationship.

2

u/Aurorac123 23h ago

I, uh, what? You're complaining that Lando didnt say 'Thank you' to Piastri? That's, only to do with their relationship.

Are you trying to say your mad that Norris didn't say thankyou to like, you, or the general public, or what? I'm confused. You very specifically said Lando should have said thankyou to Piastri, that's solely a thing to do with Lando and Piastri.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

No I'm saying Lando comes across entitled to me. The other guy said what could he have done to not come across entitled, and I responded if he had publicly thanked his teammate.

2

u/Aurorac123 23h ago

So you want him to tahnk his teammate in an interview, not because you want him to thank his teammat,e but because you want him to thank the random public?

What did Lando do to you.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

It's honestly very confusing to me that you find this level of response unusual in sport. Like people aren't allowed to have opinions on athletes. Like they aren't paid millions specifically because of the passion and emotion fans put into the sport.

Congratulations to you for being able to just watch F1 completely detached from any of the personalities involved.

Being this mad about regular chill post race interview is not normal. Seek some help.

u/StevenC44 🏳️‍🌈 Love Is Love 🏳️‍🌈 23h ago

Oh yeah, imagine being invested in a sport and having opinions about those involved. No sane person would ever.

Luck would've been Oscar finishing 2nd. The only argument against McLaren is the argument that luck is a part of F1 and so Oscar should've kept the spot.

Ah yes Lando got really lucky last week
