2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

The driver can certainly make the difference. One mega perfect lap can do it.

But it is a big ask. We look P4 on merit but here we are again with the big pressure lap.

Come on Lando.

[mwillems]

Let me rephrase, slightly the slower car of the top 3, but we can easily get 3rd or 2nd if those in front don't nail their laps.

[mwillems]

We are out and coming up for our fast laps.

[Xero]

Leclerc the only fastest used tyre.

That is fast, but it may be a scrubbed set. I haven't followed.

It was scrubbed, as was Lando's, so it's comparable.

I think the team should go as late as possible, these earlier exits are a sign of a weaker team.

Bad S1. With a 28.8 the 1.29.4 was on.

We are losing nearly 0.4-0.5 just in S1!

[f1rules]

NOrris, come on, dammmm again , well the car is fast even on this track

[chrisgr]

here we go again ...

[101FlyingDutchman]

Called the P7. But P3 was on the cards!

[FittingMechanics]

Very close. I think the team made a mistake by going early - it rarely pays off. Not only did they end up giving tows to their competitors they were also running into traffic that was preparing their laps (thus less willing to go to the dirty parts), and it wasn't the best track possible.

I think P2/P3 was possible. Maybe VER was too far away.

Norris unhappy about his lap.

[Darth-Piekus]

Compared to last year Im satisfied.

[mwillems]

What actually happened in S1? I can see we didn't get the lap we wanted, do we know what the issue was?

They didn't show Lando's fast lap, they were showing Piastri here.

[Szabi1112]

Nothing changes… Norris.. With this form he will never win race

[Dafnalina]

Did Lando make a mistake? I couldn't watch the lap

The team sent them out at the worst possible time though, I think they had bad S1s cause they run into everyone coming out of the pits

[mwillems]

He certainly looks really p*ssed.
