McLaren for the love of all that is holy, use one of the reserve drivers in one of the free practice sessions tomorrow so Lando doesn't feel obligated to participate in qualifying or the race when he clearly isn't well.
Having a reserve driver in the wings allows Lando time to rest and recover and means the responsibility of points isn't on his shoulders, which is something he shouldn't have to worry about when he's ill. If need be with a reserve driver, Lando can sit this weekend out and McLaren will still field two cars. I hope to God they use a reserve driver in at least one of the sessions (and they have zero excuse when Oscar is in Monaco) in accordance to the regulations because Monaco is the hardest track, you need to be 100% aware 100% of the time because one wrong move and you will end up in the barrier. With already questionable visibility due to the size of the new tires, having a sick driver on track could end very badly. McLaren at least give Lando the option to back out in a way that's guilt free if need be. Considering he's still ill and has barely slept, I would be lining Oscar up for fp and letting Lando recoup so that he'll be better health for Baku.
