2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Where is everyone that had pitchforks last year about Norris mistakes in qualifying?

Making a valid observation about any driver isn't having pitchforks.

Wasn’t Max dominant in quali in 22 but then ate his tyres in the race with Ferrari nailing him?

I didn't know a 30 milisecond gap is considered dominant

[FittingMechanics]

Great positions for tomorrow. Hopefully race pace is better and we can challenge Max.

I'm going to be at the track, last week I was worried it might be a "boring" dominant win for McLaren but I guess I am not that lucky. But if it happens, that much more sweeter.

Amazing work by the team.

EDIT: a shame about Piastri

Wait. Why was Piastris time deleted?

Basically, Max & RedBull found 3.5 tenths between yesterday and today. Whereas McLaren found almost nothing. They're lucky Mercedes and Ferrari couldnt improve much behind too.

I am only coping a bit thinking that they might have improved race pace, but I doubt they can aim for anything more than a 2-3 tomorrow. Which grant it, it would be a great result, but I was hoping they would be closer.

Gonna be hard to 2-3 with Pistri's lap deleted.

Yeah well, I said the best they can hope for. Oscar did have a little bit of pace over Mercedes and Ferrari in the sprint at least. If that translates in the race tomorrow, there is a chance.

It is when it is always one sided, out of portions, and potentially unfair.

[mwillems]

Well. It seems that Max does still win because of his car. I hope as Emag said every idiot shuts up about Mclaren being the fastest car and Max is some type of god.

Ill take 2 and 3.

No need to be calling people idiots. Before today it was close even if those comments were a bit optimistic.

That’s the hope
I think 2 years of learning might say otherwise though

I don't think it was. He was over driving last year, and he should have had more wins this year so that days like today are less of a blow.

No worries Mcwillems. Im not talking about this forum. Im talking about some idiots in another forum who are busting balls about how godly Max is.

Yeah, I hope he can get it done, but starting P7 is rough.

Wait. Why was Piastris time deleted?

Track limits in turn 6. A marginal call I'd say but it is what it is.

Too bad for Oscar, I thought he’d hauled himself into the podium fight but not to be.
I quess that’s 2 bad official qualis in a row now for him

No worries Mcwillems. Im not talking about this forum. Im having in mind some others and remembering them.

Given that it was a lot of people saying that on here, you nearly offended a third of this thread

Also, McWillems is my Scottish cousin who happens to like Big Macs, I am English of European descent and do not like Big Macs.

Was he out of limits though?
