No actual apology, no admission that they were wrong, no actual condemnation of the abuse Antonelli’s gotten…
Doesn’t really sound like they’re sorry to me.

Surely it's time for Red Bull to boot Helmut Marko.
The young driver programme's a mess and has been for years, he's constantly giving them controversies to firefight, and the team's already changed a lot in the past 18 months.

Goes without saying, but if you think Antonelli intentionally gave Norris P4, just do the world a favour and give your singular brain cell to someone who could actually put it to use.

Ferrari were just incompetent, whereas McLaren are foolishly letting driver parity influence every single strategy call.
Same as Merc in 2014/15/16, but they had the car advantage to deal with any problems this caused (apart from Malaysia ‘15). The McLaren’s quick, but not that quick.

I thought Hungary '21 with Hamilton was bad, I thought Silverstone '22 with Leclerc was even worse, what happened yesterday evening tops both by a mile. McLaren, what did you do. Unbelievable.
Operationally have they been worse than Ferrari in 2022? It's very, very close. No joking.

Even if McLaren had double-stacked on lap 7 and cost Norris a bit of time…
…the podium would almost certainly have been either PIA/VER/NOR or PIA/NOR/VER.
Just so unspeakably pissed off at how badly wrong they called it. Literally everyone else took the SC pit stop.

With the DSQ in Vegas and now this shitshow, it’s not McLaren’s drivers keeping Verstappen in this fight; it’s McLaren.

Oscar and Lando better be throwing laptops and tables at the walls during the debrief.
Utterly let down this evening, in an embarrassing way.

Still can’t believe the SC came out on literally the first possible lap for it to work strategically in a race with such unique circumstances.
Don’t tell me that’s not the racing gods at work.

Best plan for a McLaren win is Piastri boxes, and Norris tries to hold Verstappen up.

Norris dropping back to 2s ahead of Verstappen could actually help Piastri, Max is in Lando’s dirty air now.

I think we’re looking at a PIA/VER/NOR podium here…Oscar’s got the pace to make the strategy work, at the moment it doesn’t look like Lando does.

This has absolutely FUCKED McLaren. The cars were too close to double stack, so they didn’t pit either car.
They’re going to have to hope their race pace can carry them ahead of Verstappen now, with one less pit stop to do….

Thought the lights stayed on for a random time between 2-7 seconds before going out???
That was about half a second!

In motorsport you obviously need to take the good luck with the bad, both car and driver need to perform, etc, etc, all that stuff. however….
In terms of guaranteed points lost where the driver is absolutely blameless;
Verstappen: 0
Piastri: 12
Norris: 36
That’s pretty crazy.

“Big Qatar GP setback” he’s on the front row ffs
I swear this season every error/moment of imperfection from both Norris and Piastri has been over-analysed and sensationalised in a way we’ve never seen before. It’s a joke.

Lando Norris sounded despondent over team radio after a moment of understeer cost him a final Q3 lap.

I 100% don’t mind/care which McLaren driver wins the title; I’m a McLaren fan, not an out-and-out Piastri or Norris fan.
All I really want from tomorrow is Lando outscores Max and puts him out of contention.

Fernando Alonso is, in the absolute best way possible, a freakish anomaly.
He first won a Grand Prix when kids were destroying the family computer with Limewire.
Now he’s 44 years old and you’d STILL count on him for a result if there’s a chance. Madness.

Shame that Oscar’s run of scruffy performances coincided with track layouts/track surfaces which didn’t suit him.
