Mwillems for the sake of F1 I hope you are right and Mclaren is closer to Red Bull than last year cause usually whenever there is smoke there is also fire.

Dude you need to chill a bit...

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined xp

Its not an amazing day, but its also not a bad day. And its the first day of testing after all ...

With the first race being next week I am being less involved with testing this year, but still, paying a glance whenever I can.

First 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

Calm yourself, DP. F1 will be just fine

Quotes 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

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"

All 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

Hopefully some of the McLaren fans read your comment and can actually temper their twitchy typing fingers haha

Can you point to the article please? I looked but couldn’t find it.

Based on the history of the forum and the McLaren’s threads in particular… I doubt it! lol

The only that matter to me on day 1 was reliability… The car put plenty of laps on track, there were no major issues or concerns… That’s the only highlight so far for me… The more laps we do, the more settings we try, the more we learn about the car and how it reacts to those changes / inputs… Ultimately, that’s what is the most important part of testing.

The McLaren team thread is always a pretty wild ride, I feel.

Perez drives in the morning tomorrow. Verstappen again in the evening. Perez full Friday.

Agreed. We all know Mclaren are looking to improve in certain areas so this would suggest an improvement.
