Sounds like brake issues limited running this morning? Have they changed anything?

As per Ted on SKY they implemented a new brake ducts that caused them a issue, but the team did not seem upset in the garage, they were just easily chilling next to the car, there was no drama, I expect they will resume in the afternoon.

To me one of the guys next to the brake duct looked worried/puzzled. But I guess we are reading too much into it. I bet they will just change the brake duct and continue with the programme.

They've got a few iterations of brake ducts to test, I guess it depends how many of the next ones have the same design issue baked in

Horrible understeer around here, particularly on the last corner. Other cars are suffering there as well, but McLaren is so weirdly drifting wide there every time I have seen it onboard. It looks so stable on corner entry but then Lando finds himself outside the track. Almost like he is surprised and puts much more steering lock suddenly.

The other cars struggle more visibly there. Tough to judge whats going on there.

James Key is clearly not happy

He just found out his mate ordered the curry for lunch and he has to spend the afternoon sat next to him.....

The track is bumpy, is there more ride height on the Macca today? It doesn't look as low to the ground from what I can see.

Bahrain Day 1 recap in the video… Interesting bit regarding the MCL36, apparently Mclaren has 2 ducts in the leading edge of the floor that Collins thinks are for cooling, a very unique characteristic of the car… I will try to find some pictures

Minute 6:21 on the video

I think Merc has the same
