Statement by McLaren team principal Andrea Stella:
βDuring the race, both cars experienced unexpected, high levels of porpoising not seen in the Practice sessions, which led to excessive contact with the ground.
We are investigating the reasons for this behaviour of the car, including the effect of accidental damage sustained by both cars, which we found after the race, and that led to an increase of movement of the floor.
We apologise to Lando and Oscar for the loss of points today, at a critical time in their Championship campaigns after two strong performances from them all weekend. As a team, we also apologise to our partners and fans, whose support means so much.β
why is he straight up lying, Lando was complaining about that in practice
You mean they rainy practice sessions that got cut short? yeah, how did they not just press the fix it button
Come on man, Las Vegas was a shit show: new track (3rd time ever), street circuit, crappy logistics (in 2 out of the 3 they have failed to secure sewer caps), it rained throughout practice and quali... to have basically anything unexpected is an understatement considering how little reliable information they could get.
Totally their fault anyway, but I cast doubt and the implications you are making
did any other drivers complain so much about it?
