Questions must be asked as to why there were significant changes to the setup going into qualifying. The car seemed to be in a really sweet spot so it is a shame to give some of that away...

Team is usually great with this sort of this stuff (unlike some of our rivals) so hopefully this is just a one off.

Lando suggests they made some changes in the wrong direction.
The learning process is underway. This is fine. It’s better now than in a couple of grand prix, where the team will have higher chances.

Proper fluffed up the weekend.
Sorry I’m so ‘demanding’.
Ahahaha I suspect you'll see this car come alive tomorrow 😉

Give the race a chance to unfold before casting your judgement 👍

Mwillems, what can you say about the balance of the chassis in slow corners? Were you able to see the onboard? Any thoughts on cornering grip at the front?

I barely saw any laps, they didn't show much Mclaren, frustratingly.

Oh my days. It just gets worse and worse.
They have reverted back in a panic to the good old dirty downforce days. No wonder they are the 3rd quickest car again

I saw the onboard in Q1 run 1, the car definitely looked a bit looser on the rear than it was on the mediums yesterday.

Interesting when looking at the data. Most were quite a bit slower on the second run in Q3.

Only Lando went faster. We may have missed out here.

You have to get F1TV. It's the only way.

Well, sh*t happens bro. Go be a Ferrari fan since you hold them to such high regard. I am sure you would have enjoyed 2019 a lot, then 2020, then 2021, then 2022, then 2023 ...
