2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Is it a good idea? It's still 36 laps to go.

[MCLvamos]

why have they not reverted to the previous lap? surely our sporting director should be all over this!

we have to, only other option is a used hard which will probably last as long

[SilviuAgo]

I think medium, even new, is not a good idea. Hard is best option, because Lando had excellent pace on this tyre and you can run for all 36 laps.

Maybe because it was a safety car? No chaos.

They have no Hards left.

Oscar and lando on mediums.

[SilviuAgo]

Medium for McLaren and Mercedes. Hard for RB and Ferarrus

[FittingMechanics]

But this is as good as it gets - we get a short race with mediums against many hard runners. Distances reset. We could still get another safety car.

Piastri and Norris mediums

They have no Hards left.

Both have an used Hard, acording to Pirelli data before race.

Probably a heavily used hard.

I'm just annoyed the team lost two spots for Lando due to pitting before an obvious red flag.

[mwillems]

Piastri is on used mediums, 3 laps old.

[mwillems]

All the meds will need to pit again, which means they don't need to manage pace.
