Mclaren have had a very mixed weekend this time round and now Ferrari have joined the game. Oscar had a rough time during the sprint qualifying and sprint race but he made up for it in the Grand Prix by qualifying and finishing in 5th, gaining more points for the Constructors Championship. Lando had a good weekend but it seemed that the car wasn’t very comfortable to handle. The FIA again have proved that it’s one rule for Max/Redbull and another rule for everyone else. Lando deserved 3rd place but of course FIA🤝Redbull prevailed. Both

Mercedes have had an absolute shocker of a weekend. Everything that could go wrong went wrong and things kept going downhill. Lewis’s car was not functioning and yet again the team ignored him when he wanted to have the car worked on and start from the pit-lane. George didn’t have a great car either and ruined his chances of a better result by crashing in qualifying leading him to start from the pit-lane. The identity of this team is literally just damage control and it’s getting really old now.
