Its the slow stuff where I could see it was tentative for Lando in that lap. He lost a possible front row again due to a bad exit onto the back straight. Still, just a tenth down, P4, can't complain
His rear was not happy on the lap. Still think we should have run with more rear DF, especially to help in the race.
Long race, Team probably aiming at running in some free air during the race, which means that the “skinnier” wing provides more lap time in race pace… McLaren still very strong in S1, which bodes well for the race and on the approach to the back straight to get out of a DRS threat + more top speed without DRS seems the sensible move to make looking at the race… The car also still has enough DF (wasn’t Piastri purple in S3 during the shootout?).
I believe that looking at the race, it is the best approach
