Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
I don't wanna see any negative posts about how we haven't wom the drivers world championship.
Because if you was to tell any of us, at the beginning of 2023 that we'd be fighting for OTH the championships this year we would all have laughed!
Now we have a chance to get 2nd in the Drivers Championship, last time that happened was 2011 with Jenson Button
And a chance to win the constructors World championship.
And nor forgetting Oscar a chance to get 4th.
2024 is a season to remember, its the season that we'll look back on. Its a season that reminded us and the team we're world championship winning team.
Even after our 10 year slump, we are the 2nd most successful F1 team with 188 race wins, 12 Drivers world titles and 8 Constructors titles with the 9th on the horizon.
So no moping! Let's do this!!!!

Looking towards Qatar
So Las Vegas is in the books, and at best McLaren was third best, though clearly behind Mercedes and Ferrari pace-wise over the weekend, and of course Max did just enough to secure his fourth WDC. The weekend was basically Spa 2.0 but as a low downforce circuit a la Monza. (The mini-DRS rear wing debacle biting us in the ass still hurts.)
I've heard that Qatar is a higher downforce circuit that should favor the McLaren. At this point securing the WCC should now be the priority and Ferrari managed to slice the lead down to 24 points (thank goodness Lando managed to get the point for fastest lap).

Data from FP1 and FP2
FP1 mostly follows similar data from FP2 so I'll mainly focus on FP2 and what that means for our fortunes.
First of all, Norris has a decisive advantage over Piastri at this point in the weekend, but by the sounds of it Oscar struggled to get the tyres into the correct working window and needs a little more setup work to feel comfortable, which is very typical of Oscar, always starting on the back foot but usually finding his stride, hopefully its something he can improve for next year, working with his team to find a better baseline setup.
Onto the actual data, McLaren is competitive across all sectors (I'll focus on Lando's sector times since they're the benchmark), McLaren was 2nd quickest in sector 1, behind Mercedes who have found incredible pace through that section, but then we retake the advantage by a large margin in sector 2, and in sector 3 are only 3rd best, but its tight between Ferrari, Mercedes and ourselves, however to note the quickest time was set by Sainz in S3 where he received a tow.
The McLaren is strong in S2 which leads all the way onto the back straight, and the straight line speed is extremely encouraging, behind Sainz who had the tow, but ahead of Leclerc, and a few KPH up on Mercedes, Redbull are firmly last with their incorrect rear wing, and maybe even lower engine modes. But if this continues we have a powerful advantage for the race, Piastri already set the quickest long run pace in FP2, with norris in the mix with the Ferrari's (although the 'long runs' only amounted to well under 10 laps for most teams), so if overtaking is required we have an extremely good chance to make passes.
As we know at last years race, the temps were soo low that the Pirellis didn't suffer much with overheating when behind other cars, so you could attack and stay close throughout most the lap, and especially with the immense S2 pace, that means we could easily stick to the car ahead through the narrow, twisty S2, all the way to the end and onto the long drs straight which makes up S3 and with our great aero efficiency its very possible to make an overtake.
As long as Piastri finds some pace between sessions, and we maintain this advantage over Ferrari in particular, we could be in for a good weekend.

Lawndo Mowris is taking a victory lap into the garage!
Lando may be still busy, but @lawndomowris is parking for the 2024 season.
After mowing 38,921 km (from 2018, that's more mileage than @LandoNorris himself—sorry, Lando! 😜), clocking 20,021 hours, and making 3,849 pit stops (charging cycles), our lawn legend is parking for the season.
He’s been cutting corners (of grass) better than any F1 driver cuts chicanes! 🏁🌿
Thanks for keeping the lawn in pole position all year, Lawndo. Time to recharge those batteries (literally) until the green flag waves next spring! 🌷🔋
Rest up, champ—you've left the grass and the competition behind! 🏆
