DR said it himself, he doesn't take it personally. I'm sure his ego is a bit bruised, but hopefully he can get a seat and bounce back. I think he'll have learned a lot about his driving as he had to work at it in a way he never had to before. He's in it long enough to know the sport is business, sometimes you do well (Renault contract), sometimes you don't (McLaren shithousery).
I think DR was brought in as a team leader and Zak was blinded a bit by Lando's performance and leaned into the quirks of the car rather than build the car that they would have told DR they were building to lure him away from Renault, where he was the lead driver. Not taking away from Lando, he had a great season last year, but Lando says it himself the car is a dog to drive. Will be interesting to see how car development goes when they have a rookie and someone who has only ever driven the quirky car.
Zak isn't the toxic mess that Ron Dennis was, but he's not exactly clean either
Yes to this
At this point Ryan Air will announce that Oscar's joined them
Thank you lovely, please drink something non alcoholic before you go to bed and have a great time out
Well that was not how i was hopping to see him for the summer break... I was expecting more sun and less clothes tbh
This thread is up there with the feted Thread 69I think this is the most chaotic thread since I’ve been here with all the twist and turns
yea it’s definitely not guaranteed that oscar will/can perform better than daniel. but at the same time, lando was a young rookie who adapted and got the car to work.. carlos squeezed a ton of performance out of the mclaren as well. the car is fundamentally different but other drivers have made it work, daniel sadly has not (to the degree we all know he should be able to, and can in other cars)ok, I think I caught up, with 10 new pages or so appearing while I was doing it.
Is it the right time to ask why Oscar would be in position to choose F1 team and not want to go to Alpine if they give him the seat? it's not like there are 10 places free to choose from every year. And why would McLaren think that if Daniel can't get used to the car, a young rookie would squeeze more from the car than him (or is it about the money cause they have to pay Daniel more than they would have to a younger driver)? I am not at all following drivers outside of F1 so while I am enjoying that there's a lot happening, I am not able to tell what I think about Oscar's statement in this now. What do you think?
At this point I hope so for his sakeZhou 2023 confirmed?
Just when I had forgotten about Pierre due to all the other tit-hosiery going on
Pato tattle lurker confirmed
It’s Scotland
Oi Pato, give me credit next time
He is the ceo of rich energy. They sponsored haas 2-3 years ago, then realized that the haas was tit and just left them or something like that
Tbf he got called a hypocrite live on British television on Question Time and admitted he was but that he was trying to change the sport. I just think it's been on the cards for a while, he misses his family but considered one more year, then that tit with Lance in Austria where he got brake tested fighting for P10 just made him go "nah duck it". I do feel his beliefs are part of his decision but its multi faceted.
Lando was their test driver for at least one year. And Carlos struggled in his first year if I remember correctly. I think DR outscored Carlos in McLaren 2021 compared to 2020
this is such a BDE move, I agree, I read that many people folowed Nancy Pelosi's flight online to see if she lands there and I also read China immediately banned many of Taiwanese products and God knows what will happen next. These are indeed very weird times. I am glad there is a way to escape this all even for a sec, for example here
no one is doing it like him.
