Monza🇮🇹 debrief McLaren & Mercedes edition 🏎️
Lando (2nd in the standings) :
Qualifying: 1st
Grand Prix: 3rd (15 points +1 for fastest lap)
Positions: - 2
Oscar (4th in the standings):
Qualifying: 2nd
Grand Prix: 2nd (18 points)
Positions: =
Mclaren were absolutely incredible this weekend but they did cost a 1-2 finish. They did well to qualify 1-2 but they showed incredible pace but unfortunately the unknown of the hard tyres cost them the opportunity to do one stop due to left front graining. Oscar is obviously gutted about losing the win but he did very well with his overall pace. Lando had a horrible start and again bottled lap 1 of a Grand Prix then everything went downhill from there since he didn’t have the clean air necessary to extract the pace needed to meet Oscar’s pace. McLaren have a decision to make because at this stage they need to decide whether they are backing Lando in trying to win the WDC or if they are throwing all their eggs into the WCC.
Lewis (6th in the standings):
Qualifying : 6th
Grand Prix: 5th (10 points)
Positions: +1
George (7th in the standings) :
Qualifying: 3rd
Grand Prix: 7th (6 points)
Positions: -4
Mercedes have had another rough weekend. George qualified 3rd but he got wing damage during the first lap and had drive with it until his first pit stop which cost him time and places. The cars had no race pace this weekend Lewis was struggling for pace and he had more degradation on his tyres. George made a mistake on the first lap which cost him a lot.
