2022 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Christ every comment you put on this forum is bloody painful. It was only a few days ago and at testing you was lauding James Key now it’s get rid of him. Could you be any more flippant? Do you think or even read before you spew your cr*p on here?

I have him blocked for a looong time. It’s unreadable, specially in a technical forum.

After this week I think I need to ignore more users. If you all want to cheer for a F1 team like in football, go do that on Twitter.

Guys, this is nothing to do with McLaren. The Merc engine is crap vs Ferrari and RBR. Russell P9? The problem is that engines are already homologated until 2026!

George screwed the pooch into T1, I want to see the Speed trap data for quali before we make that determination.

Edit: Where do people pull that data from?

As I said some time ago whoever doesn't like my comments they can freely ignore me. The feeling is mutual.

Landos remark of the final position was interesting to me. They expected it, so the question is are the brakes to blame or something else went wrong. Hopefully Daniel gets himself back to form quickly, he probably still feels covid effects.

Glory hunting plastic fans everywhere, what a state this thread is in. Please do stop watching, It'll stop my eyes bleeding from reading this tripe.

Clearly disappointed, team is on the back foot and will take some time to get up to speed. Car is looking better on race pace, so let's see tomorrow where we lie on that front.

People getting on like there isn't another 22 races to do this year

Maybe ferraris strong front suspension/ frontend is what makes the hass and alfa so good

There are other issues with the car man. The engine might be weaker, but that's not the talking point right now. If it was just the engine, why aren't they closer (or better considering their struggles) to Mercedes?

Was it some mistake during the design like it happened on 2018? On another note I would love to see Red Bull getting slapped in the face for Marko's arrogance.

And Emag how do you catch up from such a difference?

I would say the modification of brakes are the reason. Hopefully they manage to get on top of it. To be honest the car is bulky looking to my eyes and i hope this is not the other reason.

Can't get bulkier than the Ferrari, but it's clearly not holding them off.

Very Curious to see what team say, I am not sure will get the full picture until the end of the weekend as a number of factor's compromising the team's performance. Ferrari engined car's taken a notable step forward compared to the competition, the rumour's that Ferrari had best Power unit and one very good under traction as was mentioned on sky sports today. Car hasn't evolved much from first test so I really hope McLaren are going to make a concious decision to converge on a concept especially if they decide the one they have isn't working.

When I saw the car for the first time I didn't see anything interesting on it compared to the other presentations. I'm afraid that the car is basic compared to the others and I don't know if there was an update that should have been brought here. Like a big update with new sidepods, new wings etc etc. I don't know if they have anything or a possible B Spec Car.

I was hoping to have been just track specific and power unit but the difference is huge. I am just speechless.

If you lot are gonna write mclaren off after one quali session then your very very stupid.
This car is most likely a top 3 competing car but clearly needs tinkering bringing a “bodge” brake solution to finish the race is obviously going to affect performance and airflow on that region this will take a few races to fix but people need to be patient this is a 23 race season and your crying after one quali session the pecking order we see now maybe completely different come Abu Dhabi
Stop getting over your heads

Days of b-spec cars are gone, with budget and CFD caps. IF the concept is wrong, then the team will abandon this season and focus on next. It won't come to that, development will be fast and strong this season.
