Monaco, Shanghai and the Indy 500 according to social
Three countries, three races, one team: The best social reaction from the biggest weekend in racing
Our Formula 1, NTT INDYCAR SERIES and Formula E teams were all in action this weekend and, in a strange quirk of fate, all secured identical results, bringing a huge haul of points back to our factories with three second-place finishes.
With the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 both taking place on the same day, this weekend in May is always the biggest of the year for racing fans, but with our Formula E team also in action in Shanghai, and our F1 team wearing our one-off livery celebrating Ayrton Senna, it was an extra special affair. Although we narrowly missed out on victory in all three races, our drivers can be proud of their efforts this weekend, all returning home with a lot to celebrate.
Here's what social media made of all three races…
Weekend plans sorted.
Well that’s my weekend sorted 🧡

Two fantastic performances in our limited edition livery.
Massive credit to Oscar Piastri finishing P2 and pushing for that win, it will come soon though, also a massive well done to Lando Norris on P4 as well, sadly not a podium but still a solid result

Alexander Rossi and Pato O’Ward were both in the hunt for victory.
On a charge!
— Ty (@Nurbiez) May 26, 2024
We gave it absolutely everything, but Pato narrowly missed out on victory, finishing second.
Thank you team for fighting until the end. Y'all gave it everything we got and we were right there.

Great effort, Arrow McLaren! You did us proud. Alexander also fought for the win, but finished in fourth, with Callum Ilott 11th and Kyle Larson in 18th.
Awesome performance. We were rooting for you!
