Great to see Hamilton win at Silverstone!
Norris needs to get better as race starts. Seems he is always losing positions before the first lap finishes. And McLaren has become the Ferarri of a couple years ago with regards to botching strategy calls.
If I were Lando I'd tell the pot wall to get bent. He's been asked to give first back to Oscar after an undercut put him in front. FFS! This is supposed to be racing. Let him race.
Lap 63 and Max loses the plot. Goes wheel to wheel with Lewis and ends up getting clipped. Meanwhile Lando has told the wall to tell Oscar to catch up rather than him slowing down. They've given up trying to get him to slow down.
McLaren really horsed that up. If they wanted Oscar to win then they should never have undercut him at the final pit stop. The soap opera that ensued on the radio was embarrassing and pretty amateur. I totally get the team working together but they still would have had a one, two for the constructor's championship. Lando had five seconds on Oscar with three laps to go. He pretty much parked the car to let him catch up. That is NOT racing

McLaren pit wall and strategy is a clown show. As soon as Max collided with Hamilton, they should've green lit Lando to keep P1 and gain extra ground on Max in the Driver's Championship. Ridiculous!
Oscar can't (and shouldn't) feel good about that win. The team lost him P1 on strategy. Tough breaks, but when you have a number one driver who might actually have a chance to contend, you defer. Unreal.
