Max is really being a bigger baby than usual today. “He moved under breaking” my god man you George Russel’d him, you dove like a Herron at a fish
How have McLaren made a 1-2 into a controversial thing.
- They're not the first. Faster than you, multi 21...
Holy shieeet Max's car went up high.
Setting fastest lap while complaining about his tyres, welcome back Lewis.
Least celebrated 1-2 finish?
Piastri is the least happy I have seen anybody be on their maiden grand prix win
- He was always going to be a bit stoic, but it's something about winning under team orders must take the shine off.
  
  a bit stoic
  
  Oscar "Marcus Aurelius" Piastri
  
  Well it's better than losing under team foolishness.
In all this drama a brilliant one stopper by yuki is going under the radar
This season keeps getting better and better.

Sad for Piastri tho :(
- For winning?
  
  For how he won.
  
  I wrote that as Norris built up the gap 😅
These drone chases are making me nauseous.
- Yes, that was awful since it was also only one corner
What the flying fuck are McLaren doing
The rate at which red bull and Max are unraveling, a title battle is still possible
Doesn't feel like a win Piastri deserves.
- Well the first two stints were brilliant from him. Yeah there will always be this argument that he was not fast enough but who knows what would have happened if he pitted 1st
  
  He was quick. But team strategy screwed him over. He should have beenn pit first. It was safe for him to do so. And he could have just let the race all the way to the end. Would have been much more satisfying
- I disagree, Lando not even in contention if the team didn’t undercut Piastri. Piastri deserved first service and then opportunity to maintain the lead he managed to hold (regardless of whether or not the cars make it easy to maintain a lead it’s still the work he did).
  
  If Lando thinks he deserved it today, in his own words “tell him to catch me then”
  
  It's just a win that leaves a sour taste in McLaren's mouth. Either way, it's not what Piastri deserves for a first win
- Doesnt feel like a win Lando deserves either. They essentially took it away from each other.
  
  Yeah, that's true. I wouldn't want to get my first win by team orders that were necessary because of a team failure at strategy
The big McLaren team radio war of Hungary 2024
They swapped positions 👀👀👀👀
McLaren tactics by undercutting Piastri with Norris? Lol they want to re establish the order now
Mental boom caught live

Edit: Netflix must be salivating
What did sim racers ever did to Crofty?
- He probably plays in public lobbies.
  
  That's just masochism
The fuck is that drone shot.
Did Piastri fuck Zak's wife or why do they hate him so much?
- I really hope he signs elsewhere because of this
Max is such a little bitch when he’s not winning.
- What I can't understand is why his race engineer didn't tell him he was wrong and to stop complaining.
  
  He did finally say that.
  
  Because if you don’t stand your ground until it seems inevitable you’ll be ruled against then you have already admitted defeat to the stewards, which is why the investigation ended at the moment they saw him give the place back
- God, seriously; this is such a footbol/soccer flop and it was obvious to everyone
So much sass from Lando.
Let's see if lando fucks up the start again and loses the lead before the first corner
- Well...
- Thanks, I hate it.
Max with his classic divebomb and Lewis just turning in like that lol
- No matter where Lewis was, I don't think Max was making that corner. I'm surprised neither of them have significant damage.
I only first noticed it yesterday, but the McLarens have e-ink displays next to the drivers that periodically change ads. I guess I've just not noticed it for more than a year.
- Seems like a waste of weight. I wonder why they don’t just use stickers.
  
  I found this when I noticed yesterday, It seems they think the money from the ads is worth the weight
  
  M O N E Y yum yum yum
  
  (just a guess)
I have a subjective feeling that Piastri's race pace is getting closer to Norris' race pace. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out today, especially if both cars stay ahead of Max at the start.
Fantastic start for Piastri. Norris unfortunately doesn't have a good track record of holding onto the lead during race start.

Please don't screw up the strategy, McLaren.
- Woops
GIVE ME THE RADIO!
Attacking at your own teammate, not covering Max. Bold move Lando.
Lando and Max just being childish today
Britney is such a drama queen. Pretty sure he could have a career in gutter press.
Seems that whoever grabs the lead can make a break over the following cars and no one can catch them. We all thought it was Max/Red Bull but perhaps that’s just how these cars are? Just cannot be touched in clean air?
- The McLaren is clearly the fastest car today on this circuit, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that if they get ahead they run off with it.
  
  Obviously the cars do behave better in clean air, but they’re much less tied to it than they were three years ago.
Nice race to watch!

McLaren put the drivers in a real awkward spot. Telling lando there will be lots of opportunities in the future and to give the spot back must have been real tough on lando, when you chased tour first victory for so long, and bow have the chance to double your score.

You can tell that oscar wasnt over the moon as well, even when he has won his first ever F1 race!

McLaren has a bright rest of the season ahead with these two amazing drivers and their car!
What odds Perez and Russel crashing into each other at the first corner :D
I'm sensing an Austian GP 2.0
Sainz showing Russell and Perez how its done.
wow faith in humanity restored
Messing with stuff at the last second is never a good sign.
Drama with McLaren throttle. We'll see how good the crew is.
