McLaren MP4-28 Mercedes

McLaren doesn't seam to be introducing too many updates so far. What do you guys think? Are they struggling like the drivers suggest to get the setups correctly?

yes...i think that they have problems with the front suspension,and this could create problems with the car setup.i expect to se some updates tomorrow

[wesley123]

I dont think they have any problems at all, at least not car related problems.

The updates were always being bolted on for Saturday and Sunday. I think they ran the new front wing as a bonus, either they got it early, or they decided to run it whilst conditions were unexpectedly better than they thought they were going to be.

Well drivers keep pilling up about setup and the car being very tricky to understand and changing.

And Ferrari was having this problem last year with the New front suspension.

I didn't expect McLaren to switch over suspension this year to be honest, although if it was something to be done, is better to do this year and go into 2014 with an understanding of it than incorporate it into a huge change like will be next year. I guess it will be less things to get to understand if you already know how the front end works.

Seems they've been un developing that front wing since Suzuka 10.

Mclarens always start out chubby. Soon enough they'll start carving down the side pods. I understand what they mean when they say development potential. The car is quite basic but it's not doing too bad as it is.
