"On the face of it the Hungarian GP will be remembered" for McLaren humiliating their lead driver in public and threatening him to withdraw their support. Scratch that, they actually did withdraw their support and decided to back Verstappen for the title instead, gifting him 7 points. (If this was any other sport one may suspect "match fixing".)
At least, Norris now knows that he is out there on his own and his worst enemy is in the car on the other side of the garage. Time for some soul searching, find his inner "Ocon" and destroy the whippersnapper. If this will cost him a few DotD votes, so be it. 😂
P.S. Stuart, don't forget Gilles Villeneuve in 1979 at Monza, by not fighting his teammate Jody Scheckter for the win he effectively relinquished his own title chances.

"You can't win them all" applies to all sports. Max needs to learn that. I suppose F1 still counts as a sport, I'm not so sure.

The trouble with most “fans” is that they fail to realise McLaren is a team that had only won ONE race before this season! They are having to learn not only how to be competitive again but also how to win races again, and regularly!
They weren’t expecting to be serious championship contenders until next year at the earliest and yet it’s come early!
People need to cut them some slack! Yeah, they could’ve done a better job with getting the 1-2 on Sunday but they still got it done! Get over it! Move on! 💁🏻♂️🤯

Great analysis as always
@Baz-er6it Says:
McLaren's sequencing of pitstops made perfect sense in terms of risk mitigation, which is what every team would do in their place. Had they ignored what was going on around them and lost 2nd place to Hamilton or Verstappen all the critics would be screaming about their incompetence (again). Red Bull allowed Hamilton to undercut them and Verstappen wasn't able to reverse that.
The McLaren drivers were told they could race into the mid 40 lap part of the race, so clearly they weren't able to race after the 2nd round of stops. Team orders have never been popular, but the teams aren't only interested in being popular. Their key metric is results for the stakeholders, so they don't want to risk those for a fair fight.

How many points did Norris lose cause of the team orders. 11 points is it

Do people still care enough about this BS "racing" circus to get mad? I got furious when F1 Racing was killed more than 20 years ago, now I couldn't care less.

Lame maiden win for Oscar. Its a win thats been given. Thats how i am seeing it
@legvalmont Says:
Let's face it: Max Verstappen has a weak mental strength. With seemingly little push of stress, he looses it.
@Dabayare Says:
I will avoid watching Spa if the weather is wet. I feel Max will cause a dangerous accident that F1 will not come back from if the weather is bad.

Not everyone….. Angry minions think they are bigger than their team.
@Ksen-pg7se Says:
Everyone is approaching this like Norris doesn't matter. I think that's completely baffling. He's been with the team the longest, he has just signed a new long term contract, he is consistently the fastest driver, he had pole position AND HE IS AHEAD OF PIASTRI IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. If I was him now I would seriously be rethinking my future.

Who other than me heard “the chain” ( the old f1 theme tune) When he mentioned Fleetwood Mack? 😅😅😅
@daphnelovesL Says:
At Verstappen swearing in a different language is not the same is in your own language. But the English are more offend when this is in swearing in English. Like swearing in English is 100 % to the British is just 30 % to the Dutch.
@underSTATEDexcellence Says:
The McLaren strategist takes the blame for all the negative towards what should’ve been a great race victory.

Get your facts right. Redbull wasnt dominant in 2022, it was ferrari who fumbled on many occassions 🤦🤷♂️
