    I almost preferred being a McLaren fan when they weren’t winning races. Too much disappointment when they have the potential to win titles.

      I’ve been rooting for them all season just because I wanted a break from last year’s Verstappen dominance, but you can’t look at the performance of the team this year and say they properly deserve to win the title.

        Every team makes mistakes. They definitely deserve the Constructors’ title.

        But yeah, as a team I don’t think they’ve done enough to earn the Drivers’ title.

          Today’s McLaren are like Ferrari of old, the amount of mistakes they make is way too high. The bar is Red Bull right now and they make maybe one or two mistakes per season, not per session.

    Looking like this could be Max’s greatest race, he seems on another level. The first lap alone was incredible.

    What a day. What a drive by Verstappen.

    Alpine leapfrogging to P6 in the WCC. Incredible.

    69 lap race… I guess teams complained they’d start running out of fuel. It is, of course, also a good number.

    A beached whale and the pole sitter fucking up starting procedures. This might become one of my favourite races. Let’s see if it’ll slot before or after Hockenheim 2019 (my current #1).

    That’s pretty much a guaranteed win by Max now I assume and the official end of the title race?

    Absolute masterclass from max and red bull. Hamilton 2021 esque.

    Clearly proving that he is the best driver of the season even though he no longer has the fastest car

      It’s a shame we won’t be able to maintain the title fight delusion anymore for the rest of the season, but this was a cold shower for McLaren - both literally and figuratively. Neither the race strategists nor drivers are of a high enough calibre, and it’s really a shame since the mechanics, designers and factory workers have been amazing. Trying to root for them this season has been so damn frustrating it’s starting to make me feel hostile emotions about them.

        Well the mechanics, designers, engineers and factory personnel will be rewarded with the constructors championship. The pitwall and the drivers will rightly not be rewarded with a drivers championship.

        Absolutely brain dead from McLaren and Mercedes, I mean I don’t even understand what the thought was here. It was lose lose
