Time to go again. Having started the season completely disinterested I'm fired up in the hope the 2nd half will be as competitive as the end of the first half.
Well, he's blown it again.
Give him his due, his start was crap, but he was in another league today.
McLaren haven't won the constructors since 1998.This has got to be the best chance since at least 2007 when they got thrown out.
Looks like Sargeant's done. Replaced by Colapinto for the rest of the season.
Sergeant deserves the boot but what's Colapinto actually done to warrant a drive?
Top 6 look ridiculously close. At the end, any one of them could have had pole.
Red Bull meanwhile, absolutely miles off.
Could be a massive swing for McLaren tomorrow, if they play it right. So, expect to see a Ferrari leading into turn One....
Piastri might seem fairly placid, but I reckon that kid has a killer streak in him. Put a proper move on his teammate.
Lando under pressure again, and makes more mistakes. He's been around long enough now to not be making them.
This is why i stand by Piastri will be champion before Lando
This is why I feel McLaren didn't swap the cars at the end, and also insisted he gave the place back in Hungary
I feel they are keeping him sweet knowing next year, Piastri is there safest bet for a Drivers Championship
Bearman in for suspended Magnussen
McLaren should be prioritising Norris tbh. I'd have been telling Piastri to move over on Sunday once it was clear he wasn't catching Leclerc.Maybe, but since they are teammates again next year, unless they have a truly dominant car (ie RB) they won't be winning the drivers.
If Piastri won't play the team game this season, I hope Norris doesn't next year (should Piastri be in the hunt). They will continue to take points off each other.
I agree with you about Piastri and Norris. One is behaving like a WC driver, one is not. Would Verstappen or Hamilton have given up the win in Hungary knowing that the drivers championship is on the line? Just like Piastri didn't give up second place. You have to be a selfish b*stard if you want to win.
For the rest of the season, Norris has to have a 'win at any cost' mentality. I think the next 8 races will decide if he is capable of winning a WC.

That "you're gonna need oscar, and you're gonna need the team" radio message is starting to sound a bit sus now. I bet he wishes he never gave the place back.
I think he can though, if they employ team orders.Think they know he won't win the title anyway. Clear to everyone Lando isn't Champion material.
The constant shite starts, the weak as piss driving when racing Max, Oscar, Charles etc, and pretty poor racecraft overall
He'd had the quickest car for 10 races and has won 2. He isn't good enough
Stand by my theory McLaren feel Oscar is their best bet next few seasons for a WDC hence how they are towards him
It's a bit of a gamble. Maybe quickest car this year but no guarantees for next year. Take a Championship while you can.Think they know he won't win the title anyway. Clear to everyone Lando isn't Champion material.

Newey to Aston Martin confirmed.
All Daddy Stroll needs to do now is stop funding his son's racing fantasy, get a proper driver in there alongside Alonso, and maybe they might actually win something.
See, I don't think this is the big coup everyone thinks
News undoubtedly is the best designer F1 has ever seen..but the 2026 regs will be more engine based like 2014..
I don't think Newey is.going to have much of an impact
McLaren: We're going to prioritise Norris.
Norris: proceeds to absolutely bottle it in Q1.
Don't think he can even put that down to a yellow flag, either. Looked like the flag panel was flashing green as he got there.
You know exactly what I'm going to say.....
Lando is nowhere near good enough. Say it till I'm blue in the face
Piastri wins the title for McLaren before Lando
