I truly wish McLaren weren’t complete morons in going about this season.
Well good news then. Because they aren’t.
No one expected Norris to do this well this season. No one expected McLaren to be favored to win the WCC. McLaren is exceeding expectations. That’s not the behavior of complete morons.
Sticking to your team ethos of not having a #1 driver and potentially missing out on a WDC no one thought you were going to get anyway isn’t being complete morons.
Edit: That said, I would very much like to see the team form up behind Lando for the rest of the season simply because of where we are.
It’s true, their R&D, factory and technical departments have been excellent, and their pit crews have been solid as well.

Potentially throwing away a WDC when it’s almost 20 years since your last is idiotic. At least if you have ambitions of being an actual top team. Red Bull will not flounder forever, Merc is gaining ground rapidly and Ferrari is building for the future. This season McLaren is the only team capable of challenging Red Bull/Max, but going forward there are absolutely no guarantees they’ll remain top dog. Not capitalising on a golden opportunity falling in your lap is moronic for a so-called big team.
