"lando asked for the swap" no, in fact he didn't, not once. these are their full radios until the moment it happened. andrea has now confirmed it was discussed pre race, so 'the other driver is on a different strategy' was very likely the cryptic code mclaren used for it and there was no real split strategy. lando was asked about his pace, he answered, and mclaren made the call based on the data, with the final +20 second gap only reinforcing that he did in fact have the pace.

On oscar’s onboard the only thing said to him was the line about different strategies (a code perhaps to swap). Nothing else was said before or after (barring a comment about his brakes after going off at t12) and there was no pushback from him on the move now andrea is confirming the swap was discussed pre race. makes sense why they ended up on basically the same strategy after both being told they’re on different ones if it actually never had to do with strategy, mclaren have made their coding nonsense clear in the past I’m not gonna police anyone in how they reacted to this and in the moment it’s difficult to see things from a logical point of view when emotions are rampant, but so much discourse for a swap that was seemingly happening before the lights even went out I’ve also seen way too many people say lando asked for that swap, he was asked about his pace, he said he had more but put the ball back in McLarens court And after the reaction to the Singapore sprint, I can’t blame him for making it 100% McLarens liability
andrea stella revealed that mclaren had already discussed the possibility of a position swap during a pre race meeting [the race]

🚨 Kimi Antonelli & Lando Norris had very impressive stints on the hard tyre in Sunday's race • Only 6 green flag laps from Antonelli went into the 1:40s when he was on the hards • Norris gained 3 positions, more than any driver that started in the top 20. This stint was why.

"we had a very fast pitstop, probably the fastest of the race, yet to be confirmed. but also a problematic pitstop, which in this case was due to a hardware problem" first of all, credit to the pit crew for pulling off the fastest pitstop and for all their hard work 👏 but the hardware issues have been an ongoing problem since last year, and stella had assured that they would be fixed this season. yet here we are, with both drivers losing valuable time to slow pitstops across the last two seasons. the crew are clearly capable of delivering fast stops which makes it all the more frustrating that these hardware issues are still getting in the way. i really hope it's fully fixed come next season.

the way this made no noise compared to norris’ comment causing an international incident dkm

hinch said there should be some conversations in the debrief about the communication between lando and the team on the radio and some of the suggestions that were made 💀 people are starting to realize how incompetent will joseph is

the race named lando as one of the winners of the us gp!! "another brilliant stealthy drive from norris in a season where he's turned in a few of them [..] to be even in the mix with those cars temporarily looked like a stealth driver-of-the-day over-performance"

your driver just threw a fit on a radio cause his teammate didn’t follow team orders fast enough #lol

You know he can't overtake without taking both cars out

so not only is mclaren’s strategy every race just “lando norris and pray” now other teams do it too
toto saying on sky that seeing lando’s strong pace on the hard was what helped them make the decision for kimi’s strategy

f1twt is one of those places where people will criticize lando week in and week out and still hold him into a higher standard than half of the grid

Kimi Antonelli had the best median race pace in Austin, 0.247s clear of Lando Norris. Verstappen and Leclerc next, the top four within 0.33s. Every lap from the race in Austin 👇

every single team in the history of f1 employs these swaps for the wcc fight. believing only one driver out of the entire grid should get special treatment when he ended up finished 22+ seconds behind is how you know mclaren has cultivated a braindead cult fanbase for this guy 💀
tEaM oRdErS aGaiN I just don’t get this, if you’re faster than the car ahead… why don’t you overtake it and that’s it?

this is a part of the sport dawg 😭 Lewis and Charles do it, Kimi and George do it, every Red Bull second driver does it and literally every midfield team does it - the bigger question is why y’all think Oscar is immune

there was a point in this season where lando norris was more than 80 points behind and people were talking about a title charge and were considering him a bigger threat than the drivers ahead of him, i think that tells you everything you need to know about his defending season
