for this race?
oscar deserved the win
mclaren just fucked it up badly
also WDC is def won by max
hes too far ahead

for this race?
no in general
they just proved that they have given up through what they did in Hungary
stoic forge
hes too far ahead
84pts was the gap
thats an average of 7pts per race Lando needs to outscore max to finish level
Lando outscored him by 8 and could have been 15
sure some races max will be right up there and he might outscore Lando or he might fight level with him
but other races that red bull is further behind and max will have more 'bad' races
where Lando can outscore by significant amounts
imagine max hadnt been so lucky and the incident at Hungary caused him to retire
lando could have closed the gap by 25 points
if they actually try for the wdc, it puts them in a position to potentially capitalise on issues and incidents for max

No they didnt
they proved they knew what the right thing to do was

They did not lol
obtuse rose
We wouldn't be having this conversation if they knew the right thing to do
craggy wren
How does anyone actually think that
stoic forge
they haven't officially given up but it's clear their focus is much more on the teams championship
but they just put themselves in a terrible situation anyway
they should have pitted Oscar at least the lap after Lando if not before
and let them race

That’s not true either
I’d say they are very neutral
They just wanted to do the right thing in Hungary
not that deep

I’d say they are very neutral
Stella was very vocal about 'if you don't play along with the team you can't be a part of it' or whatever
stoic forge
well yes but they have a decent chance at the drivers title if they don't crack under pressure in the moment and then spend the rest of the race trying to look good
and not look like the villains

WCC is more important
its closer within their reach than the WDC
plus it means a lot more money
obtuse rose
WCC is more important
That reinforces his point about McLaren giving up the WDC

you can have 2 important things
one is just more important
stoic forge
one is just more important
but the wdc is by nature more important
like only if you can win it obviously
if you aren't in contention for the wdc then the wcc is more important because it's more money but Lando is in contention for the Wdc
compact thistle
but the wdc is by nature more important
Not for the team
stoic forge
Not for the team
sort of is for the team, the wdc is what brings more attention for them
and also
McLaren will win the wcc almost certainly
compact thistle
WCC means more funding

McLaren will win the wcc almost certainly
unless RBRs second driver locks in
(its not checo)
stoic forge
unless RBRs second driver locks in
damage is done by now
realistically will Ricciardo be performing better than Piastri?
and max will probably be scoring level or slightly less than Lando
and the gap is 50pts

eh true
RBR might still have the WCC tho
