Scenerio


Max p1, Russell p2, Oscar p3, Lando p4


McLaren order a driver swap at the end of the race. Does Oscar do it?

Why not at that point. More interesting question is if Lando’s car is clearly faster, would they order a swap earlier in the race to help him move up without a slower piastri in the way?

Lots of conjecture that Mark Webber will tell Piastri not to help for politics within McLaren.

This scenario doesn't really help Piastri in either the short or long term. He obviously wants the WDC for himself but if that's not happening, he'll do what he asked to keep to keep the trophy in Woking.

That's why I like the early race hypothetical. Let's say early in the race it's
P1: Max
P2: Russell
P3: Antonelli
P4: Piastri
P5: Lando

But let's also say that Piastri's car has substantially less pace than Lando's.

Does McLaren ask Piastri to sacrifice his own small chance of the championship to avoid blocking Lando? If they do, does Piastri cooperate?

My expectation would be that both happen more slowly than they should.

Max being protected by Osama Bin Russell and Talibantonelli? I'll take that....

YUKI WAIT!!!@!!!@!#!@$!#$

Bad if not surprising news about Yuki. He got a better shot in F1 than a lot of guys but the results weren't there.

On the bright side, this is a positive for my F1 fantasy chances. My commitment to the bit cost both of my teams a lot of points this year.

I remember from one of the Drive to Survive seasons that Yuki wasn't a fan of the physical training required to be a F1 driver. He was complaining about running with a trainer. He seemed to only want to play video games and use the simulator to improve as a driver.
I'm not sure if that changed for him.
