Mclaren started off the well with pole in the sprint race for lando but struggled from the get go during the sprint race with grip on the track and overall pace but still managed to finish in the points for the sprint race.

An incredible drive from lando during the Grand Prix and a good strategy call from McLaren. They finished ahead of the Ferraris and secured p2 for Lando. Unfortunately Oscar had some severe damage that hampered his race but he did well to still finish in the points.

Positions: +3

Qualifying: 8th
Grand Prix: 6th (8 points)
Positions: +2

Lewis had an incredible sprint race where he led for a few laps before being overtaken by Max but still managed to finish 2nd securing his first podium in 2024. George did well to fight from 11th up till 8th to secure the last point for the Sprint Race.

An incredible recovery from Lewis to finish in the points and moving his way up the field from P18. A consistent performance from George to secure another points finish but the car is still incredibly slow and Mercedes still do not know what is wrong with the car so will most likely continue to experiment with different set ups.
