Anyone else see this from Zak Brown?

I saw this yesterday on Reddit. It felt like softening the public ahead of telling Piastri that they would favour Lando going into the final triple header.

Yeah... at this point he's just gaslighting Piastri.

Or the fact that now that Lando is ahead and with all the momentum, they will be "Hands off, you're free to fight".... something many here predicted would happen if Lando regained the lead

Piastri could help himself by leaving Brazil as the championship leader

So there is a chance Oscar may podium this week.

Grilld have finally canned their promo that if Oscar is on the podium, there is a special on his burger. He has not podiumed since the promo.

Now he just has to race!

Had one of these burgers the other week.
Would do again

100% performative. Zak would throw Oscar onto the fire to keep Lando's tires warm.

Good News!!!

KAYO are giving F1 viewers the option of listening to the F1TV commentary for the last 4 races of the season (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi). No longer will we have to sit through the SKY team's drooling over Lando and the other UK drivers.

It's only for the races - not practice or qualifying, but it's still better than nothing.

 

[Gasometer]

Be great if Kayo could somehow obtain the different povs that Sky Viewers get

But then again they’d probably add another $50 a month

Great practice session for Oscar there. He looks hooked up and in tune with his McLaren.

Shame Norris pipped him on the final lap of running there.

Ferrari knocks out Ferrari of Sprint Q

Ouch

 

[Gasometer]

VER driving “a broken car”

 

[powerpowerpower]

Interesting first runs in Q3 for the sprint race. Mercedes right up there

 

[Gasometer]

Problems for Max

Norris still running well

Oscar …frustrating

 

[powerpowerpower]

No one near Norris. P1. Piastri 2 tenths back, P3.

Very RB-esque. Norris' car looks so much nicer everywhere. Not much wheel work needed, where everyone else is catching slides or understeery

Clean lap from Oscar and still almost 2 tenths off the pace on a short track like Interlagos. Pack it up. Barring a Norris DNF it’s all over for 2025.

He's starting to look like he's barnstorming to the end of the year.

He may have the undivided support of the team propping him up, but seizing an opportunity and making it count is one of the hallmarks of a WDC. This isn't 2023/24 when Lando would bottlejob a situation that's been handed to him.

 

[nohairandfair]

No surprises that Lando is again supplied a car on rails.

 

[Gasometer]

It’s proving to be a tricky track with a few spins in that Prac and Qualifying

If your good enough I suppose

First time using the softs, might not be the tyre of choice

Yeah, fair play to Lando. Most people thought he wouldn't have the composure once the whips were cracking but he's gone from strength to strength since his unlucky DNF at Zandvoort with only Azerbaijan as a minor blip.

 

[gaskin]

Seems to be that Oscar is liking the mediums more than the softs. Considering Red Bull were the only ones to run the softs in practice I would think if it is a dry race the hard and medium will be the tyres of choice.

 

[Black_White]

Are we still relying on Oscar winning any race this year?
Absolutely ridiculous.

That spin by Charles was suss for mine
