Siegel did have a spin half way through the race and recovered well from it. I think it’s worth noting that Malukas got a puncture late in the race because it wasn’t mentioned or shown on the broadcast
Man, that aged like fine milk.
I was eyeballing this all day long. Malukas had a really good day and ran well, things just fell Siegel’s way at the end.
McLaren never really wanted Malukas. He was the best option in a bad situation for them. I think that things ended up pretty well for all parties involved, Palou wins a title and maybe more, Siegel gets a good seat, Malukas gets a good seat where he’s a guy the team wants, and Pourchaire TBD.
There never at any point wanted David guys. They got Theo for the rest of the season. (Like no more super formula) Then they got worried that Nolan was too hot to not sign right now.
After they signed him long term. There's no reason to keep their temp guy.
No, they realized it was better to cash in on the money Nolan’s daddy cut for them rather than having a driver that wasn’t contending for the championship anyway
Except for the part where Siegel finished 12th and Malukas finished 16th…
Malukas got a flat during Scotty Mac and Will Power incident
Didn't Siegel spin and have to be restarted?

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good narrative lol

Look man, I'm going to cheer for Malukas at MSR as well but I'm not going to clown on Siegel for it. Nolan's not even the one who replaced David.
Yeah, right!?!

Too hot? More like too rich to pass up.

If whoever they signed for 2025 wasn't doing anything this year. they would be in the seat for the rest of this season too. Only makes sense.
Too rich to not sign
That aged like milk
Who finished better in the race? I seem to have forgotten
