Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2024Formula 1

This is a fantastic race! Are we actually going to get a legitimate non-RB podium this year?

 

[Famine]

The McLaren radio messages are spicy.

Verstappen: Hold my Moet.

 

[IforceV8]

RB is done with Max and the radio

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Peak radio drama.

Peak radio drama.

Thankfully because the race is crap.

 

[McLaren]

F1 historians here, when's the last time a situation like this led to a fallout/all-out battle between 2 teammates? The 90's?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Max: Perez...hold my beer

 

[Fezzik]

Wow. Lando being told he needs the team and Oscar to win the championship.

Lando to move to Red Bull next year? This is getting toxic for him with McLaren.

Rosberg vs Hamilton comes to mind.

 

[FoxMulder]

Mclaren did this to themselves.

 

[Bosso]

Same old Verstappen - doesn't know any other way of overtaking him other than dive bombing Hamilton. It's been very cringe hearing him on the radio today.

Hopefully Mclaren can sort this issue out, they should have pitted Piastri first since Hamilton was too far behind anyway.

[McLaren]

Atta boy, Lando.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Jesus Christ, Lando... finally. 😤

 

[Dennisch]

And then Lando takes that p1 on the final lap.

 

[Fezzik]

They should’ve switched straight after the stop and then battled over the closing laps. Not this nonsense:

 

[Tired Tyres]

I wonder if that is going to kick off another rule on team orders.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Don't do it, Lando. I like you, bro. Oscar earned it. 😤

 

[Dennisch]

A tarnished first win.

I honestly didn't get why everyone was in such awe of him the past couple of years. Like of course he's driving clean he's 20 seconds clear of the field. The second you see him battle for position you see his true colors come out. He races like someone in an online lobby.

 

[Rossell2]

Lando showing the ruthless streak. Might be better against Max not Oscar though.

 

[GlamFM]

McLaren is the stupidest team in F1.

 

[Dennisch]

I'm watching the post race show just to see Lando's face. Has to be a lot worse than last race.

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

I think Lando’s original plan was to let him through after the final corner on the final lap a la Barrichello at the 2002 Austrian GP. The idea that this race could still potentially end under a safety car probably caused him to cede the lead earlier

 

[Famine]

McLaren's justification for all this is mental.

It played out that your drivers were 6s apart and 6s ahead of the next car. What's the point of swapping them here? It doesn't benefit the team at all to swap them and your lead driver now loses 7pt in the WDC...

 

[McLaren]

It stinks, but McLaren is on the up. Lando has to know he'll have more opportunities for victory coming his way. Red Bull's current in-house situation if it persists will only help the Macs.

 

[Dreadmed]

All this because Mclaren (inexplicably) decided to pit Lando first the second time round... it's such an avoidable banana skin and they planted their foot straight onto it.

 

[Dennisch]

Max is calling Toto tonight.

Aside from the aforementioned Hamilton/Rosberg, I'd also suggest Vettel/Webber and Hamilton/Alonso since the start of the millenium, then yeah probably Prost/Senna in 89, although Mansell and Patrese for Williams '92 were never exactly fond of each other, but Nigel was so far ahead of Riccardo, there wasn't really any competition.

 

[Rossell2]

So much to unpack on this one. McLaren have got to get their act together.
