Nah I still think 2 tenths would be good, 3 tenths very very good. 4 tenths is out of reach I think but lets see, Donadoni is extremely good source though.
Mclaren raised the bar. Even Red Bull's upgrade are basic compared to them. Every time Mclaren touches their car, the other teams look over their shoulder.
Very true, i thought last year was a one off because the first version of that car was disappointing, but this upgrade was very impressive.
I am yet to be convinced by the McLaren upgrade. I don’t think they were much faster than the Ferrari with 0 upgrades. It was a race where track position was key and having free air had a big advantage.
The well timed safety car left Lando with the best tyres at the end, while both Max and especially Charles were on old tyres which they had to restart.
Carlos was relatively close in lap times to Lando at the end and I don’t even consider him the reference driver for Ferrari to judge performance .
So, the 4 tenths number sounds audacious. They were not 4 tenths slower than Ferrari before, the gap was around a tenth/ 1.5 tenths.
