if i keep thinking, another thing comes to my mind.
it was not only MGP who struggled. Lotus Renault comes to my mind. everyone expected them to be fast at monaco (due to the good "driveability" of their car and their engine). they didn't look good either.
does anyone have some "insights" on this? did they "cook" their tires or did they struggle to get temps into it? (i expect them to be to hard on them)
anyway... i'm still not sure what's MGPs biggest problem. it's pretty obvious that their mechanical grip is not the best. monaco is not an "aero" track. so one could think "hey MGP did quite well on aero tracks, so their aero is not as bad as they say"... (i'm not 100% sure but...) if you look at their barca performance, they seemed to struggle in the fast corners (aero). but they had quite a reasonable speed. i personaly think it's because of their engine. but as we all know, they got problems with their cooling. so i expect them (especially on such a "slow" track like monaco) to "tune the engine down", in order to prevent overheating. <- that could be one reason why they performed sooooo bad at monaco. the track emphasised their weak parts and didn't allow them to take advantage of their good engine.
any thoughts? whats the first thing they could/shoud improve? (and don't come up with "screw them..."
let's stay "technical" - cause this is not the place for fanboywars)
