All 4 episodes are out. Frankly embarrassing from a technical point of view for Honda.
It also confirmed what I was told last year: McLaren was behind schedule and the car on the simulator wasn't really ok.
I disagree with your simulator statement, there was one small snippet when Stoffel said the rear was unbalanced but I think that was down to set-up changes they were working through. I’m not saying your wrong, but It’s a leap to say the car on the sim was not good from that small clip
Having to cancel the Silverstone shakedown and nearly missing test because of the floor and other parts not being ready does however show that McLaren were not organis d. At least Honda turned up with their engine on time!
I expected to watch a documentary about McLaren being dynamic, focused & on top of their game, it was not the impression I was left with.
When the directors were told only 80% chance of it being ready, quite frankly their response was disgraceful, like they didn’t even care
It was however a fascinating piece of work which gave an outstanding insight into what really goes on. I loved the bit about the agreement between teams on release dates, never herd about that before
Fernando was great, I liked it when he was with the PR guy and asked about overtakes, “less, but I will say let’s wait and see” classic! He really knows that game well
