Leclerc Sainz p1 p2, McLaren bottle job in Abu Dhabi

Infuse more copium brothers and sisters we must pray 🙏

Hey guys! I’m a diehard McLaren fan (safe to say I’m fuming at the FIA right now 😂). Today I think it’s a great opportunity to just appreciate our teams’ historic rivalry. 21 points. Down to the wire. No Red Bull, no Mercedes, no Horner, no Wolff and no Verstappen. Just pure F1 heritage. Safe to say I’m absolutely terrified! Let’s have a good title decider!!

I’ve been a Ferrari fan in the USA since I got into F1 when i ditched nascar years ago. However with the announcement of GM entering F1, and with them likely to be a backmaker for a while, would it be frowned upon to also root for GM?

All hand painted by my nail artist, and yes, I looked t the track map multiple times to figure out where things were haha.

How come some sponsors are left out of the replica clothing like the hoodies and shirts. For example, Peroni and HP are on the actual team ones but not the replicas for purchase.

“ I did grain my Hards and he was coming quick behind me and me anticipating what was going to be a situation, because Lewis was straight behind Charles at the time, and I was pretty sure the team was going to ask me to let Charles by because he was quicker at the time. As I was on grained tyres, I asked the team two or three times to box me, to get me out of the way, and get me a new set of Hards to make sure that I wasn't losing a lot of race time by having to let Charles by and then having to fight Lewis at the same time. For some reason we didn't box and I ended up having to let Charles by a lap later than was planned and losing a lot of race time. And by the time I was going to box, then we didn't even box. So I guess he's not happy, but I'm also not happy with the way things were handled at the time.”

Leclerc has every right to be pissed off and I truly hope he FINALLY starts thinking about himself, just like Sainz always does, BUT there's a lot more to this!

Does Sainz even know Leclerc let him by early on? Probably not.

Does Leclerc know about how much time Sainz lost with his pit stop debacle? Probably also not.

Did it ever make sense to tell Sainz to stay behind Leclerc after the stop? Honestly, no! Because we always slowly bring the tyres up to temperature (or when we don't the first stint happens...) and Sainz would've just lost lots of unnecessary time while Leclerc was warming up.

But again, this is on the team! Don't stupidly tell both drivers that Sainz should stay behind! That didn't make sense at all in that moment!

We can't be sure if Sainz kept Verstappen in DRS on purpose to stop Leclerc overtaking quickly, I doubt it, but we can't be sure.

Also, Leclerc is in a fight for P2 in the Championship! Does it really matter? No, but beating Mclaren, in drivers and constructors, ALWAYS matters at Ferrari! So why would you cost Charles 3 points for ZERO reason?

Regardless, not respecting pre race agreements is unacceptable!

Like I said above, I hope Leclerc starts to think more about himself.

Guys I've just finished to watch the race... Hamilton was faster than Leclerc after the first pitstop. Also Leclerc ruined his race after killing the tyres trying to overtake Russell too early.

Yes sure Sainz wasn't a team player once again and fucked up Leclerc rave but he never was a P2 contender after the overtake attempt on Russell.

It's now btwn McLaren and Ferrari
