2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

If it were that good it would be on pole.

Did RB do well today, except for pole position?

[Emag]

Anything on Oscar yet? I am expecting the +3 but who knows, maybe the "Anti Spanish movement" wouldn't want to give Carlos a free position

[bauc]

Great Qually, we have a great chance for a win again tomorrow, especially as PER starts way back so we can put 2 different strategies against VER

Oscar is likely to receive a +3 penalty

For what?

[ollandos]

there is something like block ..on magnussen but it was about bad timening no room to go anywhere before 1st chicane ....

For impeding Magnussen's flying lap, yeah a mistake by the team but the driver cops it and it was pretty slam dunk

[LionsHeart]

Good job, McLaren! Tomorrow we need to take big points into our bank.

[ollandos]

the tow at the end give the pole

[Spoutnik]

the tow at the end give the pole

Where do you see the tow ?

[FittingMechanics]

I'm puzzled why did MAG give tow to VER?

It's the only thing he had to achieve and they did it on the only lap that counts. There is nothing yet to suggest we have the fastest car in F1. We won in Miami due to the luck of the safety car and we were not good enough for pole today, in part down to the tow Max got. But luck swings both ways. If we had the fastest car in F1 we'd not be worrying as much about luck.

McLaren was worthy of pole position, the drivers were not.

But I was replying to a post that said we have the fastest car in F1 right now, so I don't understand your responses which seem unrelated.

Regarding the separate point of the drivers, the drivers would have been on pole position without the .15 seconds Max got from a tow. Everyone was good enough for a pole position, only one can have it and luck doesn't always go your way.

I'm puzzled why did MAG give tow to VER?

No idea, he was on his "slow" lap. But I doubt it was intentional, I've seen drivers do it before.

This is Hulkenberg. In the first and second segments, Max gave a slipstream to Niko, but in the third segment, Niko returned the favor.

[Darth-Piekus]

Both Mclaren and our drivers were clearly worthy of pole. Max just happened to have been lucky for the TOW he got from Niko. Not sure if it was intentional but what can you do? In the end we know we can eat Max tomorrow without the TOW.
