Land won't give up the position IMO

Max's race engineer should know today is not the day to be passive aggressive 
MaxWonder if anyone in RB will dare pull Max up for behaving like this
Will Crofty shut up about Max staying up late
I know.Will Crofty shut up about Max staying up late
Angry max is so funny
Lewis is almost 8 secs off Oscar now, this undercut looks like a bullshit call now, I don't think Lando was even at risk here.
Yeah it's just stupid stuff from him.Will Crofty shut up about Max staying up late
McLaren about to ruin the dynamics between their drivers and Max going off the boil. This has been an interesting GP.
No way Lando let's Oscar through
I’ve a feeling it’ll all be kicking off at McLaren later, I don’t see Norris giving up the lead here.
Where they are now it’s hard to let Piastri through. But doesn’t change the fact that they did a dick move to box Norris first.
McLaren being dumb here. Have to prioritise the title race. Yes, it’s a long shot but Max not in the best car is just a volcano waiting to erupt. Could easily go DNF-DNF and suddenly it gets a lot more interesting. Can’t throw away points because you want to be nice to Oscar - he will have his time in the future.
It’s a problem McLaren have made for themselves.
The TV direction today has been awful
Also can we give a shout out to Ferrari’s strategy. They’ve absolutely wrecked Charles’ chances here.
Max past. Which means Lewis likely in trouble.
When Lando wins. Toto should be on the phone to Oscar tonight offering him Hamilton's seat.
Lando is second in the championship and the one ‘challenging’ Max. They’d be stupid to swap them, as harsh as it is on Piastri.
Did none of you guys see Oscar hit the gravel on his out lap? He has to catch Norris himself.
Throwing the sink to make Norris slow down
Not going to work.
Not going to work.
Who put him in the position of chasing?
If Norris ever wants to be a WDC, he needs the be a ruthless fecker and keep p1.
Besides better for us for rest of season to see if he can catch max in drivers championship

Yeah I don't think there was a need to bring in Lando in early, should have left them as they were and then gone racing after both cars had pitted.
These coded messages are bullshit as well, just tell him to hand back the position.
Have to agree. McLaren literally manufactured this problem for themselves.
How many times will the radio engineer keep spouting this bullshit to Lando
Let's not forget Lando has only 1 race win himself, so he's not going to want to give one up
McLaren can feck off with the pretend tyre stuff. Max has burnt his tyres out with his hissy fit. If Norris damages his tyres, the only car it benefits is Oscar. No one else is catching him.
He was kept out one lap longer and is behind 4s.
Sainz is catching LeClerc now at pace.
I still can't see Max loosing the WDC, it's going to take multiple DNF's to let Lando back in, he's a fecking machine man, even when he's not on the podium he will drag that car into the top 5.
Nah Lando is a knob.
The team comes first, always. No exceptions.
It doesn't matter if you think the order isn't the best outcome for all involved, you fecking listen to Team decisions.

I can't wait for the cool down room after the race
5 seconds the gap now. Norris won’t be giving this back.
Lando is flooring it to stay ahead. Lando saying "he has to catch me" is the "stop hitting yourself" of F1
Nor can I, but it makes it more interesting for us. If he can chip away for the rest of season then it keeps it interesting
Norris doesn’t need to come back with the sass though. Thats the damaging stuff for the longer term relationship. Just be clear and honest and direct.
Feck sake McLaren,bring out the violin. Embarrassing
