2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

There's been 12 safety cars at the last seven races and the cars are as close as they've ever been.

[geogate]

they dont seem very confident in overtaking with the dirty air. He has a bunch of mid field cars that are quicker on the straights.

And it looks like field spread will be very high, maybe a pitstop off the lead within less than 10 laps without a safety car. Only chances for Lando will come out of chaos I fear. It will be an opportunity to see how much Oscar has matured.

yeah, that was the only "gamble" i could see - stop early, hope there not a safety car in the first dozen laps

normally there's a chance to move up nicely when starting on hards. Stroll went from 19th to the top 5 or so a couple of years ago (before his tire blew).

Lando will make good progress through the field, I'm sure.

Whatever happens I hope the team gives their 100 percent and get the best result possible.

The DRS is another 100m over last year too. Should at least be able to attack in the braking zone of T1 if not before that

[selvam_e2002]

till P8 is very much possible and if any luck podium possible.

[selvam_e2002]

Max sandwiched between Russel and Ham. So I am expecting first lap drama... let see....

[selvam_e2002]

if Max out in first lap, then Norris need to get as much as point and not over doing......

HAM starting from the pitlane so another position gained

Why is McLaren not changing the whole power unit on Norris' car, to have freshser parts for the rest of the season, and star from the pitlane and to avoid the first turn drama?

I do not understand what McLaren is doing strategy side

Maybe they don't think they need to?

I remember Mexico ( or Brazil?) Lando started near the back, people said idiots for not taking a new engine. Turned out they didn't need one.

Anyway, he's 15th, not 24th so, not sure giving up all the places woukd be worth it.

There's only 20 cars on the grid. 19 others if you include Lando.

Would start in the same position near enough. Ocon and Hamilton starting at the back too. Theres your 2 cars back straight away.
