We’re still trying to catch our breath after those final few laps. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix provided action-packed to-the-flag racing at its finest.

Having smartly saved his tyres, Lando got mightily close to catching Max during an enthralling final few laps, but couldn’t quite make the move happen and had to settle for second… But as far as consolation prizes go, a third podium in a row certainly isn’t a bad one.

With Oscar bringing home fourth, we return to the McLaren Technology Centre with another healthy haul of points, ensuring we followed up Lando’s landmark first win in Miami last time out with another stellar performance.

As we scrolled back through social media on our journey home from Italy, we relived those tense final few laps in real-time, following along with you as you were on the edge of your seats. Here’s what you made of it on X…

It’s because of the pizza. And no, it doesn’t have pineapple on it… 🍕

Petition to get McSplaining in the Oxford English Dictionary.

We have a winner!

If Estrella Galicia did practice sessions…

You didn’t disappoint with your replies to this one.

Although Oscar was later handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Magnussen, the pace we showed in Qualifying was very promising!

Least Oscar took it well! Still plenty to fight for from fifth.

Lando’s entered his Formula 1 Grand Prix winner era.

Loving the race day fits, Papaya Army.

A meeting that was meant to be. 🥐

That front row smile.

Why thank you.

Nice work, now let’s go get ‘em.

Strategy nailed - planned to perfection!

Just 1.6s between Lando and Verstappen with five laps to go… Can Lando make it two on the bounce? 

A tense, exhilarating final few laps, but Lando cannot quite catch Verstappen, despite an almighty effort! Another few laps and he’d have got him!

A nail-biting finish!

Love it! It was probably best you stopped for the final few, as you’d have needed your hands so you could bite your nails, like @NikkiTJones…

Another quality drive from OP! Cool, calm and composed.

A lotta love for Lando. 🧡

Thought we’d treat ya’ to a satisfying slow-mo.

So close! You did us proud, Osc.

Are these not both the same photo?

We expected Zak to respond, what we didn’t expect was for his vest to be flying solo…

Everyone enjoying the upgrades? The hard work continues this week back at base!

Next up… The one we’ve all been waiting for, the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix. Let’s make it a special one, Papaya Army.
