Norris had massive lockup at T10 twice, to end both his C3 and C1 stints. Braking whilst turning with bump + tight slow corner whilst track falls away.. I can see it being a problem for McLaren car
It's a brand new suspension configuration and the first day on track ...
Give it some more time before calling it a car weakness. You'd be surprised how much dialed in things get when you're on top of car setup.
Well it was a car weakness of the previous year. And stella talked about not having solutions on the car yet to every problem they wanted to tackle. I'm pointing out that it was a problematic corner for them previously and twice in consecutive stints it caused an issue . Of course they can improve but even initial impressions tell you a lot.
Go bac k to testing day 1 in 2023: we had already known: Ferrari hopping & unstable but quick over a lap, Merc with rear-end issues, AMR quick particularly on braking and in slow corners, RB imperious. These characteristics carried through broadly speaking all year.
