They aren’t doing “that much better”… This qualifying was very close and pretty even, yes McLaren was on the wrong side of the tenth needed to be in Q3, but it wasn’t a massive differenceDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑11 Jun 2022, 16:58I'm afraid I don't think they will get to Q3. They are losing a lot of time on straights and I don't think it's the Mercedes Engine as the Mercedes factory team is doing much better.

Let’s see how it plays out tomorrow in the race… Last year with a very slippery car, the team wasn’t doing great in Baku until all the chaos with Stroll, Max and the blunder by Hamilton101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑11 Jun 2022, 17:10Already not a part of the rules anymore.

Straight line speed is shocking. Didn’t expect them to be this slow
Positive of the day… Daniel was on pace with Lando! That’s what we need… Let’s hope he carries that into the racerunningmanz wrote: ↑11 Jun 2022, 17:11Oops I stand corrected.

Yep forgot about that lol. Bloody painful being so slow in the main straight. How is Alpine able to run such a skinny rear wing.
