Is it okey to say now that I dont think its looking good for this weekend?
No, because it still looks like they could be 4th fastest tomorrow. And I don't know what you expected, but that was always going to be the target, realistically.
Why would that be the target?
You had a better car than Ferrari the last 2 seasons on avarage.
Now they look like the team to beat, why McLaren couldn't?
Ferrari has been the better team for a couple of years now. They had a setback in 2020 because of the power unit debacle.
In 2019, McLaren was nowhere near Ferrari.
Last year as well, Ferrari had both the better team and the better car. They were consistent the entire season, and they reacted incredibly quickly to whatever issues they had.
So why 4th is still the target? Because, I hate to admit this, McLaren is just not good enough to battle beyond that. At least not yet.
Would be nice to have them closer to the top 3 this year though.
