    I think everyone who blames Zak about Daniel leaving has clearly never listened to him talking about Daniel. I really like how Zak's been managing everything in McLaren since he entered his position back in 2016. We're gonna miss Andreas though this year, but surely Andrea Stella will do a great job. Loved this interview, hoping to see what happens next year and maybe we can celebrate Lando's first win anytime soon 🤗🤗

    Pato and Lando have millions of fans/followers here in USA . . . although I had watched F1 once in a while, when Lando, Charles, George and Alex started their silly iracing (lawnmowers, racing backwards) on YT we all got involved. We all started following Pato b/c of his youth and exuberance. Team Papaya.

      It is worrying that some amazing F1 drivers have struggled to drive a mclaren race car fast and consistently with confidence. Lando is the exception as he has never driven anything else. Great driver. Recent history with Alonso, Sainz and now Ricciardo is a sad chapter that hopefully closes next year.

    On the other hand I really feel he is putting too many eggs in too many baskets but in saying that, he is the CEO and that was probably his most important objective.

    Being candid myself as a McLaren fan.. quite the disappointing season. 2020/21 we had cars that looked good for a podium at a lot of races, finished 3rd in the constructors.. won a race last year, should've won two. And this season, one podium for Lando alone, best of the rest in the Championship but behind Alpine in the Constructors due to Daniel's form. On reflection was Daniel's move to the team a good idea? Prolly not, its a mystery to me why it couldn't come together even after winning a race.. but we move forward with Piastri who can hopefully hit the same standards Lando does, rookie season or not the kid has bags of potential. Ultimately Lando has said he doesn't expect the car to be where it should be til 2024.. but hopefully that doesn't mean next year can't be a decent improvement on this year.

You yapped off about Daniel being disappointing, then hid at the bottom of a press release two days later that Daniel's car was broken. You threw him to the media wolves ahead of Monaco and let them descend when you KNEW that the team wasn't holding up its end of the deal, either. You sat back and watched as the journalists hounded and harassed him and then you started shopping his seat.

    I found this video to be quite generic and boring. It lacked any real substance or unique content, and it didn't do much to engage or inform the viewer. I found myself quickly losing interest and not getting much value from watching it. Overall, I would say that this video was a disappointment.
