It's been ages since The Team had a 1/2 in pretty much anything. Let's hope everything goes smooth tomorrow
Well this aged quite good.. and quite fast
I can only be completely happy after the race, if Lando and Oscar hold their positions until the finish of the race.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 17:47Quite happy?

It's good to see that the car is consistently fast and that the pace in free practice was realistic.

After the latest front wing update, they are also very quick in slow corners. I would say there is not much understeer now (but I can't say for sure because I haven't watched the onboards of the last two races).FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 18:05Andrea Stella said on F1TV that they expected Hungary to be favorable for the team as it has plenty of medium speed corners and they are leading car in those type of corners.
So I guess team thinks they are fastest in medium speed.
The second sector is just great for McLaren. They have had the advantage there all weekend. The amazing thing is that even on the start straight Lando was good.

Oscar was quite clear about that in his post qualy interview. They need to think about the constructors championship.Ben1980 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 18:31I do think they have to be mindful at the start tomorrow. And also can't be squabbling over positions early, if they make it though the first corners in 1 and 2. They can't let Max have a sniff. Oscar's focus should be keeping him behind.
I know his fans won't like that though.
Last time I was there, my first GP! Interlagos 2012. We won!!!
Speaking of which, I just checked a couple of tables. Well, in free practice and qualifying, McLaren is doing less time at full throttle than Red Bull. And that's very interesting. The same applies to the maximum speed. There is no difference between practice and qualification for both teams. Yes, in the second free practice Red Bull had a lower top speed.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 20:38Can we now agree to stop thinking McLaren is running higher engine modes in free practices?
