why is mac weirdly slow?? I heard in the commentary that they were setting up the car for Sunday, but isn't track position important at Monaco??

Just because Max was out. They are not Q3 material yet.

I wonder how EB must feel now. Reality hits hard i guess.

[alonsofan]

i think its fair to say that we suck as of now

[Mad]

I think it's safe to assume that this car would be lapping the field with a Merc PU.

They accidently changed the setup which made the tyres overheat by 1c . Otherwise they would have been pole by 3 seconds.

Mclaren may not have the best chassis but they have the best comedian of the grid in Eric Boulier.

If McLaren doesn't buy ideas ( i.e poach engineers from Red Bull & Mercedes), they are not gonna win anything at least in the next couple of years. Where is that jost capito guy, who was supposed to take over the racing side of Mcl by june ?
Maybe he will bring in some quality engineers.

""We have been lacking some grip in the front and when you don't have the confidence here in Monaco every lap is a very hard test, because you need to attack and you don't know how the car will handle." - Alonso

They were even better in Barcelona. This is a disaster.

Scrabs once told me Peter Prodrumou role in Redbull was to execute Newey's ideas......so i wonderd how will he do once he runs out of Adrian ideas.....i now know.

[ollandos]

the only really fast thing on this team is ....the drivers.........

good reliability from honda again .....and for me good aero but nothing else ....team must start build spec B chassis ..and honda spec B PU for silverstone ..or spa....until there with current staff its losing time
