F1 2024 - Round 13 - Budapest - Hungaroring

He was mega pi**ed off today. He needs to get his head together quickly

I was glad GP called him on that. It's one thing if it's a 50:50 call to side with your driver, but this was obvious error. And he had been pissy all race.

A bit of an arsehole today to be honest. I was starting to like him too.

Yeah, if it was Lewis I don't think crofty would have brought that up but I think Maxes temper bothers a lot of people in F1. I thinks it's similar to why Schumacher has fallen out of favour as people's favourite driver over the past few years because a lot of people are only realising now that he was a bit of a dickhead at times and pissed off a lot of drivers who have since gone on to become successful F1 pundits. Senna appears to be everybody including the drivers new favourite. I think Max reminds a lot of the drivers and team principles of Schumacher.

Max fell off the track three times today. That more than he's managed in the last season or two

No chance I’m listening to them idiots on sky.

Hopefully Max returns to form next weekend

They all do it when the car or strategy doesn't go their way and you'd be sick of hearing drivers bitch and moan but we tend to hear more radio messages when its Verstappen

When it's the champion you hear it more,people used Hamiltons moaning as a stick to beat him with…same is happening now with Verstappen

Saw on twitter that Alonso let Stroll past to attack Tsunoda, with understanding they'd swap back if unsuccessful. He was unsuccessful, but didn't swap back. Which was for last point.

**** off Piastri.

He only ended up P1 due to McLaren stupidly undercutting Piastri in P1 (undercut is famously strong in Hungary so literally everyone knew this would happen)

Piastri was comfortably P1 all race until then, like the previous poster mentioned if Lando thought he could have beaten Oscar on pace he should have given the position to back to Oscar after his pit stop, instead he just started ignoring the team radio and got greedy.

The root of all this is really the McLaren pitwall who have somehow managed to make a weekend where they secured a 1-2 in qualifying and converted it on race day feel like an uneasy weekend for the team when it should have been jubilation, the team radios were cringey at the end.

Could Lando have done with the extra 7 points in his loooong odds of a chance of catching Max in the constructors? Sure, but he can blame his antics at Austria before that. Like the team radios were saying it’s a team game, Lando lost sight of that today for a bit today which is not a good look IMO.

Does anyone know what exactly was agreed pre-race for the McLaren drivers? I'm getting a sense that they were free to race up until lap 40-odd?

But to hold formation thereafter? When was the second stop?
