Team orders suck as far as competition is concerned. McLaren is also a hot mess when it comes to making decisions in real time during a race so maybe this will help them simplify things while they figure out how to run at the front again...
At the same time I hate it for Oscar. He's been doing an excellent job this season and it sucks to have your progress stamped out mid season for the benefit of the team.

Oscar has improved a lot over this season. I expect he will have a good chance to compete for the title next year.

He seems closer to Lando pretty much across the board this year. There's certainly an argument to be made that they are the strongest driver pairing on the grid.

Yeah, I think it's them, Merc, or Ferrari that could argue the strongest driver pairing right now. And perhaps Ferrari in 3rd of those 3.

So McLaren bought into the media hype that they are in the race. Which is a shame, we already have a fantastic season with interesting races on our hands, there is no need for artificial intrigue.

McLaren still finding ways to destroy every bit of happiness in success.
Just make a decision and stuck with it, this kind of every week new idea just kills every bit of joy.

The Verstappen haters bullied them enough I guess.
