I think it’s still early. But the other teams don’t seem to be close. You are most likely correct. For me, the bigger debate is driver’s. Historically, McLaren hesitates to prioritise a driver creating chaos. I prefer Piastri, but losing one or both of them wouldn’t be dramatic.

McLaren makes that call depending on Max’s progress this year. Right now, he’s only 20 points behind OP in a slower car. Constructors really has no bearing on that decision. Max will likely keep up. If OP continues winning races and out-qualifying LN … easy decision.

The VSC worked for Lando and Max this week. The McLaren car is much stronger than the RB. It’s their championship to win if they prioritise a driver (probably Oscar) If not, Max will take advantage. It’s not just the RB strategy. McLaren needs to race for the WDC.

I’m not sure strategically that made any sense. Why did they wait to let Lando through? They need to start prioritising one of their drivers. And 2 pit stop errors? Ferrari-style mistakes.

If you’re waiting … you’re in for a treat. I’m on chapter 6. It’s beautiful.

No pressure. But a DLC or a sequel would be a “drop everything” situation for me.
