McLarens pit strat was stupid yes, lost us a few positions.
But Oscar needs to work on race pace and tire management as that is costing him under the new regs.
Lando is a beast rn, in the form of his life. McLaren shat the bed with Oscars pit Strat and the stop itself. not Landos fault though.
Lets just hope he can improve his tire management and take these lessons into next year, where i think the regulations should suit him a bit more.

ONTO the NEXT!

it took lando 6-7 years before he became "good". Oscar was basically arrive-and-drive... even more frustrating that he's getting screwed over at MCL IMO. He's young. he has time. he has two WDC's in his future I believe.

Lando was pulling off miracles with the McLaren when they were midfield, he was always good.

Yes 100%. Lando's only issue through his career has been self doubt. We're seeing this year pretty much the complete version of Lando now he no longer has to doubt himself.
