Yeah we had some luck, but it was clear that when in clean air we had the fastest car. You need the driver and the car to take advantage of the luck and we do.

Only one race before Red Bull and Ferrari bring their own package, but I'll reiterate this is over .4s in the upgrade and it is a very big deal.

Turns out those top speed charts don't know jack sh*t about anything important lol
On first attack on Danny Ric, Piastri had around 351km/h as far as I've seen.. So yeah.

Now imagine if Perez took out Verstappen in the first lap - and we got the win. We would think it's a lucky win.

Amazing work by the team. Lando saying he knew they had the pace on Friday. The upgrade is good, hopefully there is not a huge swing in Imola.
That's the thing, this is not a favorable track. Neither should be Imola to be fair, but hell of a lot better than Miami.

The single beam wing config, and the general reduction in drag top side, has made the car quite the beast.

That floor produces a shed load of good downforce. Almost a shame others got to see it this weekend.

As CJC said when you have the best package for once you got to maximise it.

Straight line speed is very good, Imola should be good, depending on what other teams bring.

We've nothing to fear from any circuit I don't think, the car looks to be well rounded. The nose looks strong in clean air, dirty air and in all corners. A very good proving ground and a very good result here.

You'll see in time that a lot of the time on the straight is more from the way can exit the corners on to the straights. Top speed was always good, and it is a little better, but it wasn't the differentiator here.

Well done Mclaren, well deserved! There was absolutely no luck involved today, SC is a guarantee here and Norris took it long as Max did last year and got the win he deserved. Very strong pace today at all times, good job on upgrades

Clearly, yesterday they sat down and made a few changes to clear the overheating issues and it worked. Kudos team, very happy for Ferrari's "boy" Stella, great mind and a great strategist 8)
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Stella absolutely has been a hidden gem on that team. I am glad Zak saw the potential and gave him the reins.

Words are appreciated. Hopefully more battles in the future. I hope Ferrari upgrades work well in Imola (but not too well haha).

Great job from McLaren and Lando... Many predicted they would eat their tyres in high track temperatures but race pace and deg was amazing.
