Melbourne 🇦🇺 debrief McLaren & Mercedes edition 🏎️:

Lando (6th in the standings) :
Qualified: 3rd
Finished: 3rd (15 points)
Positions: 0

Oscar (5th in the standings):
Qualified: 5th
Finished: 4th (12 points)
Positions: + 1

McLaren did incredibly well with their strategy which allowed them to take the fight to Ferrari but unfortunately they still don’t have the pace to fully fight the Ferraris but it is promising to see that both cars are in the top 5.

Lewis (9th in the standings):
Qualified: 11th
Finished: DNF
Positions:

George (8th in the standings) :
Qualified: 7th
Finished: DNF
Positions:

Lewis DNFd due to engine failure on Lap 17. George crashed and DNFd on the final lap but I’m glad he’s okay. All weekend Lewis said there was something wrong with the car and unfortunately the car is not performing at all. The car has no pace or reliability I honestly don’t know what to say.

Melbourne 🇦🇺 debrief Dino edition 🏎️:

Dino (4th in F3 standings) :

Qualified - P3
Sprint - P10

Sprint :
P13 (5 sec penalty)
Positions: -3

Feature :
P1 (25 points + 1 for fastest lap)
Positions: +2

An unfortunate turn of events for Dino during the sprint and he did so well to fight up the pack to get to P6 with an impressive last lap overtake to snatch P6. However due to a 5 sec time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage he dropped down to P13.

In the feature race Dino did a mega job in holding position at the start and during the safety car restart. He kept up with Mini staying within DRS range till he could overtake Mini in Lap 12. Dino stayed within DRS range of Leonardo and took the race lead in lap 14 and kept Leonardo at bay till the chequered flag to win the race and get the point for fastest lap. Incredible job from Dino, extremely proud of him🥳🥳!!

Melbourne 🇦🇺 debrief Paul edition 🏎️

Paul (2nd in F2 standings):

Qualified - P6
Sprint - P5

Sprint:
P18
Positions: -13

Feature:
P2 (18 points)
Positions: +4

A spot of bad luck for Paul during the Sprint race which began so well with him moving up to P3 at the start. As the race progress he got tangled up in a collision through no fault of his own as Antonelli spun so Verschoor and Paul had to take evasive action but contact still happened and Paul damaged his front wing so he had to pit losing him a lot of positions, resulting in him finishing P18. Overall the sprint race was really tough.

An incredible race from Paul in the feature race. He did so well to overtake and put himself in a position to be in P2 plus getting his revenge for the sprint race. Mega job from him and I’m super duper proud of him for coming back stronger💙🎉!!

Jeddah 🇸🇦 debrief McLaren & Mercedes edition 🏎️

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

Oscar (5th in the standings):
Qualified: 5th
Finished: 4th (12 points)
Positions: + 1

McLaren did what they could with the strategy they chose for Lando as they tried something new. A good job by both Lando and Oscar securing points for the team. The straight line speed of the car still seems to be lacking and cost Oscar multiple opportunities to try overtake Hamilton but hopefully come future upgrades it will be improved.

Lewis (9th in the standings):
Qualified: 8th
Finished: 9th (2 points)
Positions: - 1

George (4th in the standings) :
Qualified: 7th
Finished: 6th ( 8 points)
Positions: + 1

Mercedes left Lewis out too long and gambled on another safety car but unfortunately it didn’t pay off. The car is not very good in high speed corners. Changes need to be made to that car because merc where 20 seconds behind the best Ferrari. Overall I have no idea what’s going on at this point apart from the fact they are getting slower every race, I’m just hoping something improves for Melbourne.

Mercedes had issues with overheating and the battery but still managed to finish in the points. Not what I expected after testing but hopefully whatever issues they had will be resolved before Jeddah.
