Formula 1 Wags #59

Agreed, as they were both out of the points anyway I will let it go but McLaren really dropped the ball on Lando 🥲

Maybe I was a bit brutal but feel it’s deserved. Based on this I feel it may be a painful season. BUT I’m not a fair weather fan. McLaren are my team and I’ll support them. You can be a fan and still be critical. Just so disappointed especially with some bloomin awful strategy. If they maximised rather than make their drivers position worse

I think Heidi was in the garage...all the friends she was with last night were there for the race.

I wonder how random girls can literally end up next to the mechanics in the garage.

Daniel found George’s old spot

Are you new here? *insert Tiktok sounds*
He's a Karen personified. He is the first person crying over the smallest things and coming for Merc at every chance.

He will have double job this year with Mercedes and Ferrari both at the level of Red Bull . Double complaining, i'm not looking forward to that

Regardless if she’s in the paddock or hiding in the garage, she’s there supporting her man in their own way

Lets be honest....he needs her right now.

Yeah, once your mentioned Home Depot it just rolled from there I know I have been asked by K Mag if I “was finding everything okay?” before in Home Depot.

He's like the friendly manager who has a love-hate relationship with his boss (Guenther), but yet has a lovely relationship with his junior (Mick).

Hmm for Haas, the recurring theme for them this season is home Depot. If anyone can make a poster in your spare time, I'll love you!

Mclaren really pushing 14 and 15th on socials but if you add in the 3 dnf they would have been 18th and 17th nothing can make it sound any better. Hope they have upgrade ready for next week

Unlikely. Any improvement will be imola at the earliest. And how painful that will be going back to a race where we had a podium last year.

McLaren must have been running it as a competitive test. They did different strategies with both going on different tyres. Definitely feel like people are reading too much into it. “Dropping the ball” feels quite harsh - they’ve been off pace all week so why not test tyres and brakes. Lando will have got soooo much data from running that medium for so long, they got unlucky with the pitstop but you can’t predict that.

Daddy Zak will sort the mess out there’s a hellllll of a long way to go!

whoa! That is not a good signs. the body language alone has been clear all week on carlos being number 2. maybe that's what's getting in his head and why he's hard on himself

I wonder if there’s something related to this in the new contract negotiations. Ferrari have form for this.

I agree with this.

I think the main problem, for me, is Lando's third pit stop. At that time he was running on 3-4 laps old soft tyres, so why makes him do a pit stop ? He could have keep his tyres, will have overtake some of the cars in front who did stop and would have been 11-12th i think. And with better tyres than the one in front who knows what could have happen? They were already out of the points so why not try not to pit ?

And Lando was clearly really not happy to have lost his position to Daniel and to not be able to catch the midfiels behind the SC. So yeah, the race was tit but the strategy clearly didn't help.

There was something about his eyes behind his visor as he pulled into Parc Ferme that made me sad.

He should be really excited, but I agree something is up.

The dropping the ball wasn’t really about the starting tyres it was about pitting him again under the safety car when he had only just pitted so his tyres were basically just as new as the rest anyway, it was a waste and lost him positions for no reason

As much as I want to laugh…I can’t laugh. It’s still a bit too raw

And we aren’t even allowed to hear it when it’s to the race director anymore

Why do we call Horner, Karen? Is this because of Abu Dhabi?

He complains like a stereotypical white woman aka a Karen
