McLaren se esta volviendo absolutamente ridiculo con sus decisiones, osea que carajo esta pasando en McLaren?? esta temporada ha estado llena de situaciones donde simplemente no puedes creer las mamadas que se inventan y lo de Monza fue el colmo de todo este desmadre que han creado con sus famosas "Papaya Rules" que hasta yo me rie cuando las mencionaron por primera vez por que sonaban como algo sacado de una payasada para llamar la atencion, pero resulta que ahora las estan llevando al extremo de lo absurdo donde ya no sabes si estan corriendo Formula 1 o estan jugando a ser los politicamente correctos del paddock. El problema con McLaren es muy claro, ellos nunca pensaron que Oscar Piastri iva a ser tan bueno como es ahora, es decir el tipo llega y practicamente se convierte en el nuevo Kimi Raikkonen pero hasta mas letal por que tiene un auto que puede ganar carreras facilmente, entonces ahora tienen el gran problema de que su piloto consentido Lando Norris ya no es el unico que puede ganar y eso los tiene completamente perdidos sin saber que hacer, por que obviamente Norris es la inversion de años en McLaren mientras que Piastri llego hace poco pero resulta que el australiano es mejor piloto que Norris y eso es algo que nadie en McLaren quiere admitir abiertamente. En Monza paso exactamente lo que todos sabiamos que iva a pasar, Piastri rebasa a Norris durante los pit stops si le permitian el undercut por que Norris tuvo un pit stop lento de cinco segundos y entonces McLaren toma la decision mas estupida posible, le dicen a Piastri que le devuelva la posicion por que "no es justo" que Norris haya perdido la posicion por un pit stop lento, pero que mierda es esa logica?? acaso los pit stops lentos no son parte de las carreras desde que existe la Formula 1?? es como si McLaren quisiera inventar su propio deporte donde todo tiene que ser "justo" segun sus propios criterios de niños mimados y lo mas ridiculo es que Piastri acepta la orden del equipo, comprensible tambien por que es la primera ves que lidera un campeonato, pero otro piloto con hambre de ganar hubiera dicho que se jodieran por que el no hizo nada malo para perder esa posicion.
English Version - Click to DisplayMcLaren is becoming utterly ridiculous with its decisions. What the hell is going on at McLaren? This season has been full of situations where you simply cannot believe the nonsense they come up with, and Monza was the last straw in all this chaos they have created with their famous “Papaya Rules” that even I laughed when they first mentioned them because they sounded like something out of a clown show to get attention, but now they're taking them to the point of absurdity where you no longer know if they're racing Formula 1 or playing at being the politically correct ones in the paddock. The problem with McLaren is very clear: they never thought Oscar Piastri would be as good as he is now. I mean, the guy comes along and practically becomes the new Kimi Raikkonen, but even more lethal because he has a car that can easily win races. So now they have the big problem that their favorite driver, Lando Norris, is no longer the only one who can win, and that has them completely lost, not knowing what to do, because obviously Norris is the investment of years at McLaren, while Piastri arrived recently, but it turns out that the Australian is a better driver than Norris, and that's something no one at McLaren wants to admit openly. At Monza, exactly what we all knew was going to happen happened. Piastri overtook Norris during the pit stops if they allowed him the undercut because Norris had a slow five-second pit stop, and then McLaren made the stupidest decision possible. They told Piastri to give the position back because “it's not fair” that Norris lost the position due to a slow pit stop. But what kind of logic is that? Haven't slow pit stops been part of racing since Formula 1 began? It's as if McLaren wanted to invent its own sport where everything has to be “fair” according to its own spoiled criteria, and the most ridiculous thing is that Piastri accepts the team's order, which is understandable because it's the first time he's led a championship, but another driver hungry to win would have told them to screw off because he did nothing wrong to lose that position.
Lo que mas me molesta de toda esta situacion es la hipocresia total de McLaren por que sabes que si hubiera sido al reves, si Piastri hubiera tenido el pit stop lento y Norris hubiera pasado adelante, estoy casi seguro que no habrian hecho el mismo intercambio, habrian dejado las cosas como estaban y punto, pero como es su niño dorado Norris el que salio perjudicado entonces si hay que intervenir para "arreglar" las cosas, es una mamada total por que estan manipulando los resultados de las carreras segun su conveniencia y eso ya no es deporte sino teatro. Andrea Stella salio a defender la decision diciendo que era por los "valores" del equipo y toda esa pendejada de relaciones publicas, pero la realidad es que McLaren esta perdido por que no saben como manejar una situacion donde sus dos pilotos son competitivos y uno de ellos no es el que ellos querian que fuera el protagonista, entonces ahora estan improvisando sobre la marcha tratando de mantener contento a todo el mundo pero lo unico que estan logrando es quedar como unos payasos que no saben dirigir un equipo de Formula 1. Max Verstappen se cago de la risa cuando supo lo que paso y la verdad tiene razon por que ningun piloto campeon del mundo en la historia hubiera aceptado devolver una posicion que gano limpiamente en la pista, Verstappen mismo ya demostro en Brasil 2022 con Checo que el no le da nada a nadie si esta peleando por puntos, pero Piastri parece que esta mas preocupado por mantener la armonia del equipo que por ganar el campeonato y esa mentalidad no te va a llevar a ningun lado en la Formula 1.
English Version - Click to DisplayWhat bothers me most about this whole situation is McLaren's total hypocrisy because you know that if it had been the other way around, if Piastri had had the slow pit stop and Norris had moved ahead, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have made the same swap, they would have left things as they were, period. But since it's their golden boy Norris who got hurt, then they have to step in to “fix” things. It's total bullshit because they're manipulating the race results to suit themselves, and that's not sport anymore, it's theater. Andrea Stella came out to defend the decision, saying it was for the “values” of the team and all that PR bullshit, but the reality is that McLaren is lost because they don't know how to handle a situation where both of their drivers are competitive and one of them is not the one they wanted to be the star. So now they're improvising on the fly, trying to keep everyone happy, but all they're accomplishing is looking like clowns who don't know how to run a Formula 1 team. Max Verstappen laughed his head off when he heard what happened, and he's right, because no world champion driver in history would have agreed to give back a position he won fairly on the track. Verstappen himself already showed in Brazil 2022 with Checo that he doesn't give anything away to anyone when he's fighting for points, But Piastri seems more concerned with maintaining team harmony than winning the championship, and that mentality will get you nowhere in Formula 1.
El peor error de McLaren en todo esto es que estan creando un precedente peligrosissimo para las ultimas carreras de la temporada, por que ahora cada vez que pase algo durante una carrera los pilotos van a estar esperando que el equipo intervenga para "corregir" las injusticias, pero que pasa si estamos en la ultima carrera en Abu Dhabi y Piastri tiene un pit stop lento que lo pone detras de Norris, le van a pedir a Norris que le devuelva la posicion aun cuando eso signifique perder el campeonato mundial?? obviamente no lo van a hacer por que saben que Norris les va a mandar a joderse, entonces donde esta la consistencia en sus decisiones?? no la hay por que todo depende de quien sea el piloto afectado y que tan conveniente sea para McLaren en ese momento especifico. Oscar Piastri demostro en Monza que tiene velocidad de sobra para ganar carreras pero tambien demostro que le falta el killer instinct que necesitas para ser campeon mundial, por que cualquier piloto con ambiciones reales de campeon hubiera ignorado las ordenes del equipo y se hubiera quedado con esa posicion costara lo que costara, pero Piastri eligio ser el piloto obediente que piensa en el equipo primero y en el campeonato despues, y esa mentalidad es exactamente lo que lo va a joder cuando lleguen las carreras decisivas por que Norris no va a tener los mismos escrupulos morales cuando este peleando por su primer titulo mundial. McLaren esta jugando un juego muy peligroso por que estan tratando de micromanagear una pelea de campeonato, pero la Formula 1 no funciona asi, hay cosas que no puedes controlar como los pit stops lentos, los problemas mecanicos, los accidentes y si cada vez que pasa algo van a estar cambiando posiciones para mantener su version artificial de "justicia" entonces mejor que se dediquen a organizar karting de niños por que claramente no entienden como funciona el deporte de automovilismo profesional.
English Version - Click to DisplayMcLaren's worst mistake in all this is that they are setting a very dangerous precedent for the final races of the season, because now every time something happens during a race, the drivers will be expecting the team to intervene to “correct” injustices. But what if we are in the final race in Abu Dhabi and Piastri has a slow pit stop that puts him behind Norris? are they going to ask Norris to give him back the position even if it means losing the world championship? Obviously, they're not going to do that because they know Norris is going to tell them to go screw themselves, so where is the consistency in their decisions? There isn't any because it all depends on who the affected driver is and how convenient it is for McLaren at that specific moment. Oscar Piastri showed at Monza that he has more than enough speed to win races, but he also showed that he lacks the killer instinct you need to be a world champion, because any driver with real championship ambitions would have ignored the team's orders and held on to that position no matter what, but Piastri chose to be the obedient driver who thinks about the team first and the championship second, and that mentality is exactly what is going to screw him over when the decisive races come around because Norris is not going to have the same moral scruples when he is fighting for his first world title. McLaren is playing a very dangerous game because they are trying to micromanage a championship fight, but Formula 1 does not work that way. there are things you can't control, such as slow pit stops, mechanical problems, accidents, and if every time something happens they are going to be changing positions to maintain their artificial version of “fairness,” then they'd better stick to organizing children's karting because they clearly don't understand how professional motorsport works.
La ironía de todo esto es que McLaren tiene el auto mas dominante de la parrilla en este momento, deberian estar celebrando que por fin tienen dos pilotos capaces de ganar carreras despues de años de mediocridad, pero en lugar de eso estan creando drama innecesario con sus politicas absurdas que lo unico que van a lograr es dividir al equipo internamente cuando lleguen las carreras importantes, deberian dejarlos competir hasta el final aclarando que sin contacto pero aun asi es dificil sino recordemos Hamilton vs Rosberg. Piastri ya dijo en la radio que ellos habian acordado que los pit stops lentos eran parte de las carreras y que no entendía por que ahora cambiaban las reglas, eso te dice todo lo que necesitas saber sobre la falta de comunicacion y liderazgo en McLaren, el favoritismo por Norris, por que si ni siquiera los pilotos saben cuales son las reglas del juego entonces como esperan tomar decisiones coherentes durante las carreras?? Y la reaccion del publico italiano abucheando a Norris en el podio tambien dice mucho sobre como se percibe todo este circo desde afuera, por que hasta los fans se dan cuenta cuando algo no esta bien y cuando los resultados estan siendo manipulados artificialmente, gran parte de esa fanaticada no saben mucho de Formula 1 pero si saben distinguir que hubo un problema cuando Norris pasa a Piastri, obvio se torna peor cuando se divulga la radio. El problema fundamental de McLaren es que estan tratando de tener lo mejor de ambos mundos, quieren que sus pilotos corran libremente pero tambien quieren controlar los resultados cuando no les convienen y eso es imposible por que no puedes tener libertad real si al mismo tiempo estas interfiriendo constantemente en las consecuencias naturales de esa libertad, es como jugar poker pero cambiar las cartas cada vez que no te gusta tu mano, simplemente no funciona asi.
English Version - Click to DisplayThe irony of all this is that McLaren has the most dominant car on the grid right now. They should be celebrating the fact that they finally have two drivers capable of winning races after years of mediocrity, But instead, they are creating unnecessary drama with their absurd policies, which will only divide the team internally when the important races come around. They should let them compete to the end, making it clear that there will be no contact, but even that is difficult. Just remember Hamilton vs. Rosberg. Piastri already said on the radio that they had agreed that slow pit stops were part of racing and that he didn't understand why they were now changing the rules. That tells you everything you need to know about the lack of communication and leadership at McLaren, the favoritism towards Norris, because if even the drivers don't know what the rules of the game are, then how can they be expected to make consistent decisions during races? And the reaction of the Italian crowd booing Norris on the podium also says a lot about how this whole circus is perceived from the outside, because even the fans realize when something is not right and when the results are being artificially manipulated. Most of those fans don't know much about Formula 1, but they can tell that there was a problem when Norris passed Piastri. obviously it gets worse when the radio is broadcast. McLaren's fundamental problem is that they are trying to have the best of both worlds. They want their drivers to race freely, but they also want to control the results when they don't suit them, and that's impossible because you can't have real freedom if you are constantly interfering with the natural consequences of that freedom. It's like playing poker but changing the cards every time you don't like your hand. It just doesn't work that way.
Al final del dia McLaren va a tener que decidir si realmente quieren dejar que Piastri y Norris se peleen el campeonato como hombres adultos o si van a seguir tratandolos como niños que necesitan que papa McLaren les resuelva todos sus problemas, por que la manera en que estan manejando las cosas ahora solo va a crear mas problemas y mas controversias en las carreras que quedan, ojo Piastri puede ser una bomba de tiempo y cuidado le pone de sombrero el auto a Norris asi como lo hiso Verstappen a Hamilton, a lo que me refiero es que ya Norris ha depostrado que no es capas pero aun no hemos visto a Piastri perder la pasicencia. Verstappen se llevo la victoria en Monza haciendo exactamente lo que McLaren deberia estar haciendo, concentrarse en ganar carreras sin meterse en dramas internos estupidos y mientras Red Bull esta celebrando su primera victoria desde que salio Christian Horner, McLaren esta perdiendo el tiempo discutiendo si un pit stop lento cuenta como "injusticia" o no, esa es la diferencia entre un equipo que entiende como funciona este deporte y otro que esta completamente perdido en sus propias reglas inventadas. Si McLaren sigue por este camino van a terminar regalando el campeonato por estar mas preocupados por parecer "justos" que por ganar carreras y cuando eso pase no van a poder culpar a nadie mas que a si mismos por haber convertido la Formula 1 en un reality show de drama familiar en lugar de competencia deportiva real, se imaginan Verstappen remonatando puntos por que McLaren se mete un par de DNF por que alguno de los dos pilotos pierde el temperamento en carrera por este show?? es Formula 1 donde TODO es posible, uno de los deportes mas impredecibles del mundo.
English Version - Click to DisplayAt the end of the day, McLaren will have to decide whether they really want to let Piastri and Norris fight for the championship like grown men or whether they are going to continue treating them like children who need Daddy McLaren to solve all their problems, because the way they are handling things now is only going to create more problems and more controversy in the remaining races. Be careful, Piastri could be a time bomb, and he could crash into Norris's car just like Verstappen did to Hamilton. What I mean is that Norris has already shown that he is not capable, but we have not yet seen Piastri lose his patience. Verstappen took the win at Monza by doing exactly what McLaren should be doing: focusing on winning races without getting involved in stupid internal drama. And while Red Bull is celebrating its first victory since Christian Horner left, McLaren is wasting time arguing about whether a slow pit stop counts as “unfair” or not. That's the difference between a team that understands how this sport works and another that is completely lost in its own made-up rules. If McLaren continues down this path, they will end up giving away the championship because they are more concerned with appearing “fair” than with winning races, and when that happens, they will have no one to blame but themselves for turning Formula 1 into a reality show of family drama instead of real sporting competition. Can you imagine Verstappen gaining points because McLaren gets a couple of DNFs because one of the two drivers loses his temper in the race because of this show? This is Formula 1, where ANYTHING is possible, one of the most unpredictable sports in the world.
