This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
The team will be doing a lot of setup testing, that's why Lando didn't set a fast lap. Piastri didn't look too slow here so nothing to worry about so far
It's very hard for me to make conclusions as there was a issue with telemetry data... second setup with the mediums car looked good... top speed was more often than not higher than other car, to be honest we won't know till quail. There was a tiny bit of floor damage, I wonder if they will need to run stiffer or higher
It could be, but I suspect that the Mclaren build crew will not have been making any more old parts and that they will have been fully focussed on the new designs, so if the floor really has come in overnight then this could be another part of the upgrade.
Yea, I’m mean a spare floor for Norris’ new spec. This is Austria with its floor destroying kerbs
I'm not worried. 17 laps means the systems check. It's going to be just setup tuning from here. Lando may be out of the points due to the Sprint Ferme rules tho...
It's a track with little slow speed corners, plenty of high speed and cool conditions, what will be interesting is how we do elsewhere where we would have struggled before.

This is true... the car looks unbelievable in the highspeed now.. but also the traction zones we are going purple.
Norris less than a tenth off Perez again. This car is massively suited to this track, but surely a large part of the performance is from the new package too
what am I seeing here, Lando suddenly only fraction of mili second to the Bulls. Is it track specific or because of the upgrade. Piastri in the range of 0.5 s slower than lando
