So what it seems lando is trying to say is : the car is complete waste of time , it has no downforce , is unstable and has a PU with no power_cerber1 wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 21:13The British pilot was quite honest: according to him, it was not at all the brakes, which the MCL36 had experienced difficulties with since the beginning of the tests in Bahrain.
“It's a sin to complain about the engines, because Mercedes finished the race in 3rd and 4th places,” Norris said after the race. “But it certainly doesn’t help—I think we definitely don’t have enough power compared to the rest of the guys. Reliability is good, and this is a positive thing. We are far behind in “pressure”, and therefore handling also suffers.
It's not an easy car and these tires are hard to get to optimal condition - and when you don't have downforce, you can't make the rubber work well. There is understeer or oversteer: there is always too much change, and this is our main problem - I think it is necessary that there be less of these changes. Need more downforce front and rear, it's all about downforce. Sounds simple, but it's obviously very hard to figure it out.
I still believe that some tracks will be more suitable for us and that it will not be worse, but who knows. There is still a lot of time - there is a whole season ahead, during which we will develop, update the car and deal with what is happening. And all this is not easy.
I expect it to hurt, and I think everyone needs to understand that it will most likely hurt a little. Yes, both me and McLaren are expecting more, but for now, at the moment, we don’t have it, so we need to get used to it. ”
Wouldn’t be surprised if both drivers are taking a very close look at the performance clause in their contracts this week.
Nice job McLaren
