McLaren Fans Livid After "Embarrassing" Bahrain Grand Prix Result
McLaren had an awful start to the 2023 F1 Season as both cars suffered issues during the Bahrain Grand Prix. Fans of the team have now made their comments on Twitter, describing the "embarrassing" race they had to watch while making fun of the fact that McLaren paid Daniel Ricciardo $18 million to leave the team.
Oscar Piastri's car quickly suffered what was expected to be a hydraulic failure which turned out to be an issue within the wiring loom beneath the steering wheel. He was pulled off the track with a DNF. This was quickly followed by Lando Norris suffering from pneumatic issues, forcing him to pit multiple times throughout the race. He, unsurprisingly, finished last in front of the other DNFs.
"It was disappointing to have finished so soon," said Piastri after his race ended. "We were going quite well, got a decent start and made some good overtakes. I thought up until the electrical problem, we were doing a good job."
This is what the F1 Twitterati had to say about the disheartening race:
Fans were quick to point out how lucky Daniel Ricciardo was to leave when he did... and get paid for it?!
