McLaren need to try and poach Red Bull's strategists. These campaigners are a bunch of utter morons.

Oscar's only hope is to win next week, Max can finish second, and Lando 6th or worse. Highly unlikely

Anyone but Lando is still alive
That must be the first time in history that Red Bull, McLaren and Williams have shared a podium

Yuki Tsunoda may need to channel his inner Checo Perez and hold up Lando next week.

If they didn't **** that up, 1st v 3rd next week would have been enough for Oscar.
You have to wonder at the courage at RB to piss off Horner at the time; since then it has been a gradual incline with the pace of that car. Take away everything else, that car atm is peaking at the right end of the season with one of thr GOATs driving it.
Going to be an epic weekend whichever way you look at it.

He was 1 second off a podium. I doubt it was intentional

On current trajectory, you'd think Red Bull will be back next season. Won't be the slow start of this season again. Plus the two McLarens taking points off each other. Max will be feeling pretty confident for 2026, regardless how this season ends.
That being said, Norris will sew up the title with ease. Oscar needs to finish ahead of Max, and Norris to have a shocking race or a DNF, which we know will not happen.
Oscar slips into third place in the odds to win it all now.

Completely new cars in 2026. End of this year means very little, essentially a hard reset.

Flexibility, hoping for a safety car.

Yeah you’re prob right. It’s was just the two oversteer’s in row that looked a little suss.
So trying to unpack it…
Bring both cars in and it’s double stacking dramas
Bring one car in; it’s which car…the race leader or the WDC leader?
Make the choice to leave both out there to avoid both of these two choices
Make the choice to leave both out there believing you’ve made the best call of all the Teams

Just like Russell last race, the mercs make a Norris position gain easy.

As I mentioned before, this has shades of 86. Let your guys race, but if it gets to the stage where a third party can take it from you you've made mistakes. Granted, 86 was more about an aggressive partnership, this has been a bottle job from McLaren.

1. Double stack and it compromises Lando.
2. Pit, and Max stays out and gains track posituon.
Point 2 falls down because of the mandatory stops. Max couldn't put hards on and just drive to the end of the race.
3. Totally inept management,.paralysed with indecision. Compromised by papya rules and their man love for Lando.
Yeh look I’m no expert here and they’re more ponderings at 5am in the morning but the gist of them all points to your final paragraph
Should be interesting to see the spin out of that garage these next few hours

Losing victory could kill Piastri’s confidence and it certainly makes his championship bid much harder. Had Piastri won with Norris 3rd, the gap between them would have been 12 points. That’s the difference between needing Norris to finish 4th vs 6th with a Piastri win next race.
For Norris he still needs to finish 3rd or higher to claim the championship, but importantly his closest contender is now not his teammate. That’s better for Norris, because team directions could shift things should Verstappen lead with Piastri P2 or P3 and Norris P4.

Yuki would actually be good at that IF he was far enough up the order which he won't be. McLaren strategy is useless. They are botching this so badly haha
Maybe we could get “No Mikey No Mikey” back for this weekend?
Yuki’s non Qualifying meltdown was the comedy gold moment of Qatar; even better when we went straight to the Ad break
