McLaren’s strategy at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix has been criꦜticised for🐷 not being bold enough.

Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen converted his pole position into victory at Suzuka last weekend, ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

Norris, who ended up on the grass♚ when he exited the pits at the same time as Verstappen, later wondered whether an undercut strategy might have given him a ꩲbetter shot against his rival.

Piastri’s team🍸 radio request to let him attack Verstappen was also rejected.

“The weird thing in the race was how McLaren misused their advantage,” F1 analyst .

“The whole point of having two quick drivers in the car, capable of winning the Japanese Grand Prix, is that if th🐠ey find themselves P2 and P3, let both guys do a bit of punc♓hing.

“Let Oscar force Max to take more out of his tyres than he wants, then let Lan💖do take advantage of that. Start doing 🃏some stuff like that.

“They just sat there! Wh𝓡at were the🌱y waiting for? Waiting for Max to make a mistake?

"I didn’t get that, at all.

“There was all this🍎 stuff ‘great podium finish for McLaren’. But they had the best car and should have won the grand pr🧸ix. But they didn’t, they were beaten by a better guy.”

Difficult for Max Verstappen at F1 Bahrain GP?

The first three grands prix of the 2025 F1 season have been won by Norris, Pias🍌tri and Verstappen.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella could point 🍎to the drivers’ and constructors’ championship for proof of why they🃏 made their decisions in Japan.

Norris is a point clear of Verstap🐓pen at the top of the drivers’, and M🗹cLaren lead the constructors’.

They will renew r🦋ivalries this wee💦kend at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix where McLaren are again expected to have the fastest car.

ဣWindsor said about McLaren’s drivers in Japan: “B♏oth of them knew they’d been given a massive punch by Max.

“It will have clearওed after half-an-hour when they realised there aren’t many tracks like Suzuka on the calendar.

“Go to Bahrain, and the 💛McLaren is bound to be even better than the Red Bull than it was at Suzuka.

“All they need to do is to put in a reasonable lap t🍌o be ahead of Max. I’m sure that’s how they are thinking.

“I can’t think of many circuits where🅷 a guy like Max caဣn do what he did in an inferior car.”
