MOTORSPORTS Formula 1

Now that constructors is won and done, it's going to be very interesting.

I for not one second think they are sabotaging Oscar or anything of the sort, it wouldn't make sense, they as a team want the constructors more than anything.

But would they prefer Lando to win drivers championship over Oscar? Im saying yes, they would. So perhaps they subconsciously do end up favouring him on calls and the likes.
 
Well the CC is run and won now so surely they should just let them race - no need for papaya rules.
 
Haven't watched much of this season even though we have an aussie in contention to win the WDC - just not the same as when Ricciardo was trouncing Vettel. Something really special about that season.

Hopefully Oscar can lock-in and tell Brown & his boy Norris to get ****ed after winning it.
 
I think Oscars camp needs to settle if this talk about him moving is true, Mclaren are basically the best team at developing a car atm and sure with new regs coming it can all change but it's a bit rushed to think this.

He will only get better with more experience and he has Norris's number imo, team bias can only last soo long till the better driver makes it clear and no team ever has solidified bias to a worse driver.

Even in the Ron Dennis days they favoured Mika over Coulthard despite him being a brit because of how obvious the talent gap was between them.

Also current ferrari is a joke, you go there after you have achieved most of your goals prior.
 
Yeah, as shit as the stuff with Lando is, he isn't going to win more races elsewhere.

Ferrari are literally a joke now.
Redbull, you'd only go there if Max retired tbh, as you'd be very much #2.
Merc you might get a race or 2 but they haven't been able to get a car consistently near the top in years now.

I don't think Merc have signed on GR again yet though, so they may think someone big is available.

Has this actually got any legs though? Or are people putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5?

There was some pretty reputable media publications talking about it, but we can never be fully sure, if it comes up again after another race like this I would say the smoke is probably starting to cause a fire.
 
So what do we think Lando's Papaya rules repercussions were, as discussed by Lando and Oscar today? 😂

As always, Lando has benefitted almost exclusively, so he got all the good stuff out of the rules prior. The only reason he is even still in it is because the team has screwed Oscar over multiple times already this season. Now Lando doesn't have to repay any of the multiple favours he has been given.

Typical team driven script they were given to say in the media.

I hope oscar doesn't buy into the mclaren shit. The kid needs to be cut throat and give no favours, because he will get none. If he needs to put lando into a wall, do it. The greats all have, Schumacher, senna, prost, Hamilton and verstappen all get dirty when needed.

Well...at least he took Norris with him.

If that is what he needs to do, so be it. I would much prefer Max to win the drivers championship than norris.

To have one of the most dominant cars in recent times and lose the drivers championship because they failed to pick and support the driver leading the championship would be pretty priceless.

Whatever "upgrades" they have brought into the car during the season have been pretty poor. They may have brought norris closer to piastri, but the other teams have made much more ground, so clearly it hasnt improved the car performance. Again upgrades favouring lando, to the detriment of their own team so that zac can get his boy the championship.

Gives me the shits, but at least lando won.

At least lando lost too I meant
 
Could…Verstappen steal this championship? The car has levelled up and he isn’t THAT far behind.

I tossed $5 on Lando a few weeks back at $3.50 or something. I'll be interested to see what Max is at once this race is finished
