McLaren’s strategy at the F1 Japanese Gr๊and Prix has been criticiꦗsed 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.

No𓆉rris, who ended up on the grass when he exited the pits at theꦍ same time as Verstappen, later wondered whether an undercut strategy might have given him a better 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 they find themselves P2𒀰 and P3, let both guys do a bit of punching.

“Let Oscar for♛ce Max to take more out of his tyres than he wants, then let 🅠Lando take advantage of that. Start doing some stuff like that.

“They ju⛎st sat there! What were they 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 bes♓t car and should have won the grand prix. 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 Norri🐻s, Piastri and Verstappen.

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

Norris is a point clear of Verstappen at the top of the drivers’, and McLaren lead the constru🔴ctors’.

They will renew rivalries this weekend at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix wh𝐆ere McLaren are again expected to have the fastest car.

Windsor said about M🌌cLaren’s drivers in Japan: “Both of them knew they’d been given a massive punch by Max.

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

“Go to Bahrain, and the Mc🎉Laren 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 to be ahead o⛎f Max. I’m sure that’s how they are thinking.

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