We'll see that @COTA . It's a shot in the dark and I think it won't be enough...

Australia : Right rear brake explosion . And that shouldn't have happened either.

Horner is watching and if another F up then the Wache roll walks.

Kyle Larson set for McLaren F1 test after ‘better than Max Verstappen’ comments:
Kyle Larson sparked controversy earlier this year when he claimed to be a better all-around driver than three-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen. Now, it seems Larson may have the opportunity to back up his bold claim by getting behind the wheel of an F1 car.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown confirmed on the Happy Hour podcast with Kevin Harvick that he’s looking into organizing a test session for Larson in a McLaren F1 car. “We’ve been chatting about it,” Brown shared with Harvick.
“Kyle, as you can imagine, definitely wants to do it between our schedule, which goes from February to December, and NASCAR’s schedule, which is February to November. We need to find that window,” Brown explained, citing previous instances of cross-sport driver swaps, such as Jimmie Johnson and Fernando Alonso’s Bahrain test in 2018.
Brown continued, “I’d love to see Kyle in an F1 car.
It is something that we’ve discussed and something I think will happen down the road.”
Larson already has connections with Zak Brown and McLaren, having attempted the Indy 500 earlier this year as part of the Memorial Day “double duty” alongside Arrow McLaren in IndyCar before competing in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600.
McLaren has a history of arranging similar experiences, with Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart swapping cars in 2011, and more recently, Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen having a chance to drive a Haas NASCAR Cup car in 2022.
Whether Larson’s test will be a one-off experience or a full-fledged driver swap remains unclear. Brown hinted at the possibility, saying,
“Oscar [Piastri] knocked on my door a little bit about his excitement around NASCAR. So I think if we were to do something with Kyle and one of our Formula 1 drivers, it would probably most likely be Oscar.”

I think it is pretty cool but I'd hate to see Oscar swap, seeing how he has developed since last year and grown into his own with his performances this year as well, like in Baku.

They are talking swap. Just a test for Larson and maybe Oscar as a publicity stunt.

Vettel to Vcarb, that’s crazy. Everyone knows he’s replacing Max when he moves to MB🤣😂

I can't imagine a driver lineup being more locked up than the McLaren situation right now.

Somehow I find this a little hard to believe but let's keep the fairy tales from Brown coming.

Same here and at this point Brown is saying things that are deviating from the job at hand.

This. Everyone reading into it too much. They're talking about getting him into an F1 car during the off season of both Nascar and F1. Just a little publicity stunt. Let him strut his stuff and show that he's got talent, but not Verstappen level talent. Or maybe he kills it. But either way, they're not going to put Oscar in Nascar and Larson in F1...

I can recall three previous times that a NASCAR driver and a Formula 1 driver switched rides...
Jeff Gordon and Juan Pablo Montoya
Jimmie Johnson and Fernando Alonso
Tony Stewart and Louis Hamilton

JEFF THE GOAT.

he's pretty down to earth and understands that if he were to race in F1, he would need to train his entire body again.

Most people tend to forget that part....

Kyle Larson races Indy cars, so he knows the drill.
