Suzuka 🇯🇵 debrief McLaren & Mercedes edition 🏎️

Lando (6th in the standings) :
Qualified: 3rd
Finished: 5th (10 points)
Positions: -2

Oscar (5th in the standings):
Qualified: 6th
Finished: 8th (4 points)
Positions: -2

Mclaren started off strong with their strategy choice but unfortunately it wasn’t the right call and it cost them a potential podium. The car still lacks pace especially down the straight but makes up for it in the high speed corners. Both cars struggled with the tires but still did a good job to finish in the points.

Lewis (9th in the standings):
Qualified: 7th
Finished: 9th (2 points)
Positions: -2

George (7th in the standings) :
Qualified: 9th
Finished: 7th (6 points)
Positions: +2

The strategy chosen for both Lewis and George did not pay off at all and put them on the back foot compared to the others. Lewis had to call for the strategy to be changed as it was not working and after pit stops he was still losing time. George showed the car has good pace for overtaking but he was on fresher tires compared to Oscar and it did take him a while. The car still looks like it hasn’t got pace compared to the Ferraris. At least they finished in the points this time.
