In fact this quote from Oscar is very encouraging..."The car felt reasonable and I would say there are some differences from last year which are moving in the right direction"CjC wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:20I didn’t read anything here that’s concerned me to much from the boys

Hopefully some of the McLaren fans read your comment and can actually temper their twitchy typing fingers hahaSmallSoldier wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:23First day of testing… Way too early to make any pecking order judgements… which are most often than not really wrong…
In 2020, the MCL34 was thought to be the 9th car in the grid (after all of testing was concluded… Ended up 4th in the championship
In 2022 the MCL36 finished the day 1st and everyone was praising it and saying it was a title contender… We know how the season went
Enjoy testing… But be mindful that is too early to make conclusions

Can you point to the article please? I looked but couldn’t find it.Mostlyeels wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:33Quotes from the AMuS article in the testing thread:
- Marko estimates RB20 lead is 3 tenths
- Shovlin estimates Merc, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston all very close, Red Bull has a nose in front
Based on the history of the forum and the McLaren’s threads in particular… I doubt it! loltrinidefender wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:42Hopefully some of the McLaren fans read your comment and can actually temper their twitchy typing fingers hahaSmallSoldier wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:23First day of testing… Way too early to make any pecking order judgements… which are most often than not really wrong…

Perez drives in the morning tomorrow. Verstappen again in the evening. Perez full Friday.cliffgamerz wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:39All the people think RedBull will dominate because Max put in a time 1 sec ahead of everyone, the real reason he was 1 sec ahead of everyone was because today was the only day he gets to do a representative qualy lap at late evening since tomorrow Perez is driving whole day and Friday he gets the morning run, the conditions of qualifying was only possible for him today, tomorrow we an expect many drivers run qualy runs before doing Race runs like we always get. We will get McLaren qualy pace from Oscar tomorrow and that's vital for us to know where McLaren stands
Agreed. We all know Mclaren are looking to improve in certain areas so this would suggest an improvement.Macklaren wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:39In fact this quote from Oscar is very encouraging..."The car felt reasonable and I would say there are some differences from last year which are moving in the right direction"CjC wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 21:20I didn’t read anything here that’s concerned me to much from the boys
