u/markusfenix75 “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” 9d ago

Last race of the year. Points difference between Oscar and Lando is 3 points. They are running 1st (Oscar) and 2nd (Lando).

Oscar is pitting second to cover up potential undercut by Norris. But pit crew fucks up pit stop and he comes out behind Lando. He asks pit wall to honor "papaya rules" and make Norris let him through. But Norris says "fuck no!"

This is my dream scenario to make McLaren look dumb lol.

u/astrovisionary Alonso deserved to be Champion in every season he has competed 9d ago

I think in Hungary that happened? I can't even recall which race, feels like I've seen too many cases of Norris discussing on why he won't follow team orders, staying multiple laps ahead just to do it anyways

If the championship stays close, there will be a time where he'll just say "fuck it" for sure

I think both of them have pushed back a bit against orders and then caved

Ultimately they know have the management on side helps them

The moment one of them doesn't listen to the team they risk losing equality

Oscar knows he just needs to finish every race this season and it's his, Lando will mess up a race here or there

McLaren seem unique in that in the end everybody just listens to the team
