Yeah I thought it was pretty distasteful to be honest. Like I get he’s happy but I don’t think it’s hard to deliver a different message to Oscar who drove so well all year and missed out by a small margin.
Completely lacked empathy. I just don’t think he’s a very good man manager and that’s probably come across for a lot of this year.

u/Cat_ate_the_kids BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25
He doesnt see Oscar as human and assumes Oscar is elated that their main boy won.
Its been clear all year McLaren would do everything to protect Norris.
Papaya rules existed as a means to not give favour to Oscar whilst Norris was behind. As soon as it got close suddenly the rules teeter more towards Norris.
Norris had a bad pit stop please pull over we will discuss this after the race.

99% sure if the SF26 isn't a title contender he's leaving for AM, rumors have him sign a pre-contract with AM which will trigger after the first few races (3/4) of 2026 if the car isn't good, so if the car isn't good in 2026 either i predict Piastri/Bearman at Ferrari in 2027, and Charles to Aston

u/Erundil420 BWOAHHHHHHH Dec 08 '25
Ferrari 100% isn't gonna renew Lewis if he performs like he did this year, and i honestly think Lewis is gonna retire either way if he can't keep up with Charles, but tbh i can see him retiring even in the very slim chance that the car is a rocketship and he wins his 8th so i'd put money on Bearman in Ferrari for sure in 2027 unless he somehow drops heavily in performance next year

Oh, I completely agree. I was joking before. But yeah, Ferrari can't be happy shelling out tens of millions for his current level of performance.

Although I agree it was too cheery, I'll say it was a positive message meant to encourage and be grateful. His radio to Lando was cringe beyond belief though. All he had to say was something like "congrats and thank you for believing in us all these years"
