2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

Both would be good!

Norris asking the engineer how did he lose 1.5s in the pitstop. I'm impressed he has time to think about that.

I know Piastri had damaged and that has had an impact on his pace (although, if everything was repaired to a like for like part, I don’t know how much)… But the pace difference between Lando and Piastri is huge.

As you said, we don't know the state of the car yet but the team will talk about it later.

It's just frustrating to have perfect Verstappen and best car of last 30 years as our opponent.

That would make a win even more valuable… The fact that this car is lapping around 2 tenths from that combination is simply amazing… The McLaren is a front runner for the first time in a decade

If only the car had been like this from the start of the season...

If’s are useless… Let’s enjoy the opportunity to root for the team at the front that we have instead of wondering what might have been… I still remember jumping in my couch when the team would finish in the points just a few years ago and celebrate it as a win and before that, when the car would finish a race… How far have we come

If they want to fight for championships against this team everything has to be perfect.. if I'm McLaren I am trying to finish as close to Max as possible, always set a goal.

There has to be some lingering damage… It is just too big of a difference to be driver related

Probably some diffuser damage that couldn't be fixed.....at least I hope that's what it is

How far indeed. It's been quite the journey, and the future looks good too!

Possibly, he has had the occasional race where he struggles with the tires more than youd like, but you'd think there is some damage. If the diffuser has a knock it would take a chunk of time.

Since softs lasted the first 25 laps and mediums could go for more than 30 laps, a 1 stop strategy wasnt out of question. Hypothetically speaking. It would require some more laps from the softs, since we had a new pair.

Problem with being in no action and second is we are never getting to see Lando in the footage, an unwanted downside of our success.

[FittingMechanics]

Lando is on average about 0.15s slower than Verstappen in race trim.

Verstappen may also be managing his pace.
