they nerfed logan sargeant because he was too powerful (kept out-qualifying checo)

[sainzsiren]

if we get an oscar post in honor of logans career i will fucking lose it

[pucksandpower]

Williams Racing has replaced Logan Sargeant with Franco Colapinto for the remainder of the 2024 season.

There’s so much I want to say but I truly don’t know how to gather my thoughts into words.

Williams rushed Logan out of F2 and into F1 prematurely. They gave him a seat, yes, but not the opportunity to succeed in it.

Logan waited weekends for upgrades his teammate had long since received. Logan had to drive in 2024 with parts from 2023 because of how unprepared the team was. Logan sat and watched from the sidelines as his car was given to his teammate. Logan returned the following race and drove the very same chassis his teammate crashed.

Logan did all of this with a smile.

Logan deserved so much better.

James Vowles has graced us with the following statement:

I do find it quite ironic that they “need to maximise every points-scoring opportunity in a remarkably tight midfield battle” after completely glossing over the fact that the driver who did in fact originally bring home points this past weekend was disqualified due to an illegal floor caused by team error.

And “investing in our young drivers in the Williams Racing Driver Academy” will only do so much if you shove those same drivers into a seat and leave them to fend for themselves when it matters.

I hope Logan knows how many of us love and support him. I hope Logan knows that I watched him drive in the junior series and there’s no doubt in my mind that he has the skills to succeed if given the opportunity. I hope Logan knows that I will keep cheering him on no matter where he decides to go next.

And as for Williams … I will keep supporting their drivers but I certainly will not be supporting a team who has tried to paint themselves as lovable underdogs but repeatedly shown their true colors throughout this past season.

I’m sure there’s something I forgot to add, but my heart hurts and my thoughts are a veritable mess.

But, no matter where Logan ends up landing, be that IndyCar or another series, I can’t wait for him to kick ass.

What the fuck is a kilometer 🦅

george getting dq’d was not on my bingo chart but okay.

McLaren were limiting Lando's pace even before the second stops, he literally never had the chance race fairly

and then McLaren had agreed pre race to have whoever was leading into the second stops to keep the lead which is so dumb because the faster driver gets to win, not winner determined at lap 45, which ultimately was Lando - yes they pitted him first and that was their mess up, but they wouldn't have let him race even if they'd pitted Oscar first but his pace was that much better I do think he would've overtaken if he'd have been allowed to

yes, mclaren’s choices were… questionable. especially since early on they said it was fair to race. they then went back on that once they made those pit stops. they completely forgot about the “better pace wins the race” thing that most teams know to do. they’re just not used to competing for championships, they need to get their shit together. overall, not fair to either driver.

[black-fireproofs]

will this perhaps be the wake-up call mclaren needs? no, probably not if we’ve learned anything from the past few races. but when your biggest competitor for the WDC outright says that your driver is a threat for the championship, you should listen.

[black-fireproofs]

I so completely agree with all of your race thoughts . I wanted Lando to win too. Oscar led yeah and that was cool but Lando should've won.

see I agree with you there. Oscar leading is awesome, I’m so happy he got that opportunity. However, McLaren prioritized Lando’s race, then went back on it. You can’t just give your attention to one driver, then switch with 10 laps left for no then reason other than “we feel like it.”

[earth-to-lottie]

the way mclaren have such short memories

Lando has backed McLaren from day 1, when they’ve given him a shit car. Shit strategy. And shit team orders. And they find it more important to protect Oscar’s feelings??

MCLAREN PITTED LANDO FIRST. If they wanted Oscar in front, pit him first. He had a 3 second gap, and should have told Oscar to close the gap. As they have always told Lando. ALWAYS. If you can close the gap, the place is yours. McLaren even said on the radio Oscar couldn’t catch him. By rights Lando should have won on that. If Oscar doesn’t have the pace in the last stint that’s too bad.

Not only has this made Lando look bad (as if EVERY other driver on the grid wouldn’t have done the same thing). But it’s robbed Oscar of winning his first race fair and square. But it’s also ruined the 1-2.

Being asked to give up a 3 second lead is mental. Being begged to give up a 6 second lead is absolutely fucking insane. McLaren I’m in the walls.

okay race is over, here are my thoughts:

Lando should have won. I KNOW that sounds crazy but he is ahead of Oscar in the championship, second overall and rapidly chasing down Max. I understand why they went with Oscar, I get it. He led most of the race, it was his first win, all of that. I get it. However, it doesn’t make sense to sacrifice valuable points in the championship for one driver— when the man ahead of him is almost certainly getting a penalty and losing even more points— to get the same amount of points for the team overall. a 1-2 is still a 1-2.

Another thing that they probably wouldn’t have thought of is the effects online. Think of it this way; Lando gets his first win in F1 after 6 seasons. Oscar gets it after 2. People are very critical online, we all know about the Lando No-Wins meme. That’s partially why I think Lando kept that lead as long as he did without giving it up; maybe not in those words but along those lines. He wanted to prove that he could win if he wanted to. He could win again and make that point. I admire him giving up the place for the sake of the team, swallowing his pride in exchange for keeping the peace.

Moving on from the McLaren nonsense, let’s talk about Max. Now, I adore him. I think he’s an amazing driver and person. That said, Max had an awful race. He starts P3, drops down multiple places, causes a collision, and will probably receive a penalty for it. Not to mention the complaining over the radio. I get he was frustrated. I so understand that. It just wasn’t up to his usual calibre. He’ll come back stronger next race and I know he will, but this race was not it for him.

And finally, Lewis. He. CRUSHED IT. The 200th podium of his career, right after his (record breaking!!) home win in Silverstone. I hope he can continue with this pace because I do like Lewis.

I think that’s about it. Remember this is my opinion, you do not have to agree, but please be respectful! If you want to leave your own opinion, feel free! My asks box is open, as are the comments and reblogs.

overall, the race was unfair to both McLaren drivers, the team fucked both of them so it’s a bittersweet feeling
