do you think that if lando wins the championship, will mclaren favour oscar next year or at least keep them racing "fairly"? or do you think they will favour lando all the way? Kinda like Max and Yuki
IN MY OPINION, No, I don’t think they will favor Oscar just because Lando won. But I also don't think they will treat Oscar like a permanent #2 Firstly, Red Bull is built around Max because the gap between him and his teammates is usually massive. The gap between Lando and Oscar is tiny. You don't turn a driver of Oscar’s caliber into a permanent wingman unless you want him to leave Secondly, F1 teams don't believe they "owe" drivers a championship. If Lando wins this year, he starts next year as the defending champion. That naturally gives him weight in the garage. They won't handicap Lando just to "be fair" to Oscar.
Oscar won't settle for being a support driver in his 4th season. He will have to take the number one spot by beating Lando on track in the first 5 races. If he does that, the team will back him. If he doesn't, Lando stays as the champion defender.
So no, they won't favor Lando "all the way," but they definitely won't hand it to Oscar on a silver platter either. It’s going to still be a civil war.
