2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

After team talked about plan B - Lando seems to go faster?

Maybe plan A was one stop.

I really think they are just trying to make RB respond.

Losing a second from locking.

Horner says max is feeling his way in and not destroying his tyres.

[chrisgr]

ohhh that mistake. it cost us 0.8 sec!

Thev red bull is good on its tyres, so can probably keep on the medium as much as we can on hards.

[Ben1980]

It was coming.

I hope Norris is on a one stopper - I would expect tougher defense if on the same strategy.

[FittingMechanics]

Norris could undercut Verstappen. That might be a smart move.

One stop is tough. Apparently used mediums are better than the hards.

I think this has to be our win.

We can undercut to hard.
We can stay long.

[Ben1980]

Staying closer than I thought

We can undercut to hard.
We can stay long.

We might be able to use the meds. It's tight, but the hards are coming to us now. Oh, no, gaps expanded again.

Norris is doing what he can but Verstappen has a faster car that is gentler on the tyres. Doesn't matter. Good race for Norris.

[mwillems]

Well the heat helped us early on but its a different car today, as far as the tyres are concerned, at least so far.

Seems we are now commited to a one stopper.

When he was inside 1 second he could have undercut but now it's too far.
