i genuinely like Zak, he seems like a leader who cares for the members of the team as well as wanting the team to win. and I have to agree with him on the fact that he has the best driver line up, both Lando and Oscar are young and passionate and have a harmony that seems to work for both of them. I believe when (maybe now) they have a winning car they will be able to help each other evolve into their best version. seriously, what a time to be a part of the papaya family!

@chloeh1777 if you look at how some of his drivers ended their time at the team (Askew, Malukas) they might say they were unfairly let go because of injuries. The latter was signed this year but did not race because of a biking accident in the off-season. Not unlike what happened with Lance Stroll but his David's recovery has had some setbacks. I understand why they did it but not everyone may feel that way

He definitely does not have the current best driver lineup but both Lando and Oscar are very good drivers and I can see them becoming the best lineup in the future, but today they are not the best

Gotta be honest. Never expected Zak to do so well with Mclaren. The team has come on leaps and bounds since he took over. So so happy for Lando, and Piastri has really impressed. Looking forward to the future. ❤come on Mclaren!❤

We need Ron back. Now.

He's not wrong either. RB and Ferrari may have Verstappen and Leclerc, but Norris and Piastri really did shine on Sunday. Piastri started quickly, held Leclerc at bay comfortably enough to force him into an unwanted early stop, and then Norris found his way into the race by setting blistering lap after blistering lap (ended up being the fastest man on the track) from lap 14 until the end. Very possibly could have got a 1-3 in Miami if it werebt for the Sainz incident. They wear the other teams into forced decisions in different manners.

@@bill4665 I dont think you are giving Oscar the credit he deserved for that race. He was running in a comfortable P2 with no pressure from behind while Norris was in P6. The safety car ruined Oscar's race and gave Lando the win. In the end mcl need to get their act together if they want to replicate this consistently. They had the fastest car this weekend (fastest timein sq2 iirc) and kind of ruined their chance for pole with the weird mediums in 1st q3 run. They should have both been fighting at the front all weekend. Was almost a huge missed opportunity. These mistakes cannot happen if they want to fight for the title in 25.

Lewis has prob 2-3 more years in the sport and we dont even know if he lost his speed or just isnt on it currently. As a business decision it makes a lot of sense though. Just not the best for the team long term.

Thank you. Really like Zak. Must be great working with him. Best thing that has happened in a long while in F1 with the McLaren victory. I watch F1 anyway but always want McLaren to do well especially now with their current people.

Taking nothing away from the amazing job Red Bull have been doing, this is a real feel-good week for F1. A new winner (on merit of driver skill + car and trackside team performance) plus the possibility that the Bulls may meet a stiffer challenge across the remainder of the season.
