If Hungary didn’t happen, ppl would have been less mad about this. But mclaren gaslit, begged and threatened Lando to give up the win worth 7 more points in return for… nothing. (And we literally called it too)
Victimizing Oscar for being sad from something he himself did, that costed Mclaren a win, while Lando had sat through
#those
Hungary radios, did the team play and still got hated… okay 💀
If you were in our shoes, you would know why Lando fans are so protective of him.. Every single thing he says or does is scrutinized, hated on and it has been years. We are tired of all the narratives ppl make up so obviously we will be defensive even over small things
Oh I love this so much. What a statement from Lando telling the team that every single point is important here and SHOWING that it’s possible.
Lando casually asked “what’s the fastest lap?” then saved his battery for the last 4 laps before deploying it at the last lap. 😌
ℹ️ Mclaren revealed it wasn't a team decision for Norris to push for the fastest lap on the final.
Had there been dialogue about whether it was worth the risk or not, the pit wall would almost certainly have said no - which perhaps explains why Norris didn't want to consult it.
Lando read his dm pls 😭😭😭 And yeah, while I appreciate his honesty, this is also why his mistakes are always magnified. Because he always focuses on his own mistakes rather than talking about the car, the strategy or the team like other drivers do.
This is such a perfect trophy for Lando 😭 all the reminders of how hard he has worked and the sacrifices made to get here. SO proud of him 😭😭😭 so much more to come babyyyyy
It’s either 1) Agenda or 2) They just started watching f1 and can’t comprehend that Mclaren has been a midfield team for like, a whole decade until the second half of last year.
Lando has been the most successful mclaren driver this decade. This narrative is getting boring.
It’s so funny when ppl say “Oscar shouldn’t have to give up a race win if Lando can’t pass him” because what the fuck was Hungary then? Oscar couldn’t even catch up with fresher tyres
Not surprised Lando has gone full hermit mode with so many ppl (some fans included) always digging into his personal life. Glad he has some privacy and hope he is enjoying himself 😌
I just know Lando will be back to saying "I don't want team orders to win" and "what Oscar did was fair, it was my fault" because he's way too fucking nice. And people will use this to blame him and us even though everyone in the paddock can see that Mclaren are being stupid rn.
Idk why ppl are so convinced Mclaren will be the frontrunners for next year when their winter development has never been the best... and now that the front wing is confirmed to be legal, teams can explore that too. Every opportunity now is important. Don't throw it away.
"The team should not do things that don’t look reasonable to Oscar." You know what is unreasonable? Threatening Lando to slow down a gap that he made ON HIS OWN and from Oscar's mistakes, to cover the team's mistake and give up a race win that would have helped his WDC chances.
Nah that’s ridiculous. You let Max undercut Lando TWICE. The 1st one already proved that it doesn’t work. Then since you already gave Lando a long 1st stint… might as well just try a one stopper where there’s no harm in trying?? He literally did 27 laps on softs last year???
🎙Andrea Stella on whether they could have done a 1 stop with Oscar or Lando:
🗣 (Regarding Oscar): "In case this kind of strategy doesn’t work, it can become very, very painful, because then it’s too late to pit, and therefore you may lose a lot of positions."
(Regarding
Mclaren pitwall would have gaslit lando against doing his fastest lap for sure 🤣 I'm so proud of him for deciding that for himself, unfortunately he has to be the more aggressive one from now on since mclaren sure ain't helping him.
No way someone who says “norrif” spent time to make a whole spreadsheet of “if” scenarios in which some aren’t even valid 😭😭😭 like who “if”ed more here- the irony man
The more y’all complain about lando being dotd, the more I’m just gonna remember to vote for him every race 😭 He made the past few races interesting pls…
Apparently the Mclaren has been the fastest car all season and he’s trash for not leading the wdc right now… almost like Lando wasn’t 48s behind Max in Bahrain
Are y’all trolling or do y’all not understand the concept of development in F1 😭
At the end of the day, Nico Rosberg has his wdc because he did what he did. If this is how mclaren treats Lando, I will back him on any selfish decision he wants to make. If you ignore your agendas, he has ALWAYS put the team first. And the team used that against him yesterday.
MaxF talked about how much pressure he’s going through rn (I’m sure much more than we see) and the LEAST Mclaren can do is support him even just as PR. When they are talking against Lando’s words and not supporting him, he knows he’s fighting this on his own.
Huge credit to those at mclaren working on the upgrades because they have nailed every single upgrade since last year. They don’t bring the most but they are always effective and that’s all that’s needed
lando was asked about him being included in wdc talks and whether or not he’d continue to socialize with his direct competitors and this was part of his response… norstappen still going strong I see
“Gains a result on merit” when they weren’t allowed to race almost throughout the whole race……….
Don’t even lie just straight up say we don’t care about Lando’s WDC chances at this point
Some ppl have truly lost the plot saying lando is disrespectful and not gracious when a certain teammate still hasn’t thanked him for slowing down a 6.7s gap for him to win… if that’s what you saw on the podium, two can play that game. Not the first time I’ve seen this from him.
Anyway last lap Lando with the fastest lap on old hard tyres. Very smart and sexy of him. Proud of him for still fighting and trying his best to get any single point
I’ve seen a handful of comments laughing at lando saying he’s in a championship battle because of the large gap to Max. Literally anything can happen and we are only halfway through the season?? This is actually called having a winner’s mentality btw 🤣
Nooo way once in life I agree with the Redflag podcast . First time ever they were pro Lando and they say everything what we thought during that radio terror
The thing is, apparently they weren’t going to let him race if he gave back his spot anyway, according to the mechanic on the other side of the garage. So why are we blaming lando for not giving back the position early and race when it was pre-confirmed anyway?
Jesus fucking christ Lando just wasted his whole life believing in this stupid team who wouldn’t even give him back anything. Shred that multi year contract fuck it
I think the scariest thing is that the trust between driver and race engineer is broken. You can mend it but it will never be the same.. how can Lando trust that they aren’t lying to him during the race anymore 🙂
Lando was still thinking of the team when he backed off on Oscar pulling that overtake because he didn’t want a double DNF which would have hurt the WCC a lot btw. When is this loyalty ever going to be repayed. Why did Lando have to give back his place in Hungary then
@McLarenF1
@artsandcrafts26
And the narrative continues to be "lando is weak" when he is the only trying to save himself and the team. WCC isn't even secured and if mclaren really preaches about team first, Oscar can't be selfish too. (Also brave of you to go to reddit, they hate Lando there)
I actually feel so sick. Lando trusted
@McLarenF1
for 6 fucking years (more if u include his junior years), been through hell and could have left for any other team at any other point. And emotional blackmail is what he gets in return. For being a racing driver and wanting to win
🎙Lando and Oscar when asked if Mclaren should back Lando:
Norris: "It's not up to me. I think as any driver you don't want things to play that way. I wouldn't say we're running out of time but time is going away slowly. It's not for me to decide."
Piastri: "No comments."
