2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Amazing strategy from those McL clowns ...only team to start on softs and change on 6th lap. Wtf is this??? Are we complete idiots??

Why use Softs when Medium to Hards is the best strategy?

Gain places at the start - hope for a safety car or a red flag.

To be honest, I am quite happy with the "radical" strategy. Team does not have pace to fight for points if they are starting P19. You have to take a gamble in these situations.

Stuck in a DRS train with no chance of progressing. Or gamble, pit early and go quicker in clean air. Right call in my book.

Quicker than who? PIA is constant 12 seconds from DEV, and NOR almost dead last. This race is a crap for McL. Let's save some engine and go home.

Oscar has a problem under braking - starting to lose a lot of time.

Depends if we need 2 stops now and others stop once.

It could be great or it could doom us, doesn't feel optimistic...

Norris is quicker than most cars ahead, running about P5 times.

But it's going to take a lot of luck.

Oscar got it down to 10 seconds to De vries. Then obviously sonething happened.

[mwillems]

The hard tyres will cake a few laps to get up to speed.

[Ben1980]

Team has to go 2 stop. Hope that 40 laps will be a lot for the others, and a second stint on hards will work.

Sadly is not quick. Constantly +3 seconds from BOT for last 10 laps.

But on 10 plus older laps. Seeing it all over the race. The starters on hard, are getting blasted by the new hard drivers.

Exactly. They should stop between laps 32-35 for another stint on the hards. Norris has a new set of hards left. Piastri has a used set of hards left.

[mwillems]

Race is over fir us, I don't think anything can save us.

Ultimately the little coming together at the start helped Piastri and were he on mediums we'd be looking ok. But we aren't, so unless 6 cars crash or explode we aren't getting points.
