Abu Dhabi🇦🇪 debrief McLaren & Mercedes edition 🏎️

Qualifying: 1st
Grand Prix: 1st (25 points)
Positions: =
Oscar (4th in the standings):

McLaren have done it and won the 2024 WCC. Despite the setback due to Max colliding with Oscar the team remained calm, focused on their strategy and brought the WCC to the team. Lando did incredibly well to finish in 1st and Oscar did an amazing recovery drive to finish in 10th. The entire team absolutely deserved this and next year looks like an epic year for the team.
Lewis (7th in the standings):
Qualifying: 18th (started 16th due to grid penalties)
Grand Prix: 4th (12 points)
Positions: +12
George (6th in the standings) :
Qualifying: 7th
Grand Prix: 5th (10 points)
Positions: -2
An end of an era and what an end that was. It was a rocky start for Lewis after qualifying but he ploughed his way through the field to finish in 4th for his last race with Mercedes. Lewis will always be synonymous with Mercedes and he will always be a legend at the team, now it’s time for the next chapter in his story and I can’t wait to see how he does at Ferrari. George did well to finish in 5th after a tricky qualifying and will now prepare for next chapter of his career in which he will have a new teammate alongside him.
This also concludes my time as a Mercedes fan as I am first and foremost Team LH. I will always have a special place in my heart for this team but I will be following my GOAT across the pond to Ferrari.
