McLaren began the weekend very well during the Sprint Race but everything went downhill during the Grand Prix. The tough conditions and bad decisions from the pit wall did not do both drivers any favours. The pit wall needs to get their act together because what Lando did during the aborted start was on them for not giving him the correct information thus he ended up with a fine. They again messed up with his pit stop and cost him valuable points. Oscar struggled in the conditions throughout the race and was unlucky with that penalty. Again this team needs to get their act together.

Lewis (7th in the standings):

Sprint Qualifying: 13th
Qualifying: 16th (Started 14th)

Sprint Race: 11th
Grand Prix: 10th (1 point)
Positions: +6

George (6th in the standings) :

Qualifying: 2nd

Sprint Race: 6th (3 points)
Grand Prix: 4th (12 points)
Positions: -2

Mercedes have had a horrid weekend due to the weather and their set up not being correct. Lewis has had a horrid weekend because that car was horrible. There is no way that George and Lewis were driving the same car. George’s pit wall made a horrible call with the pit-stop costing him a potential win. To top everything off they ended up getting fined for a technical infringement during the aborted start due to the team checking the tyre pressures when they were not meant to. This has honestly been a weekend to forget and another example of how temperamental the W15 is.
