More details about McLaren's technical leadership changes are becoming public as it has now become clear that Toro Rosso's highly valued technical director, James Key, is set to join McLaren in the same role.
If it is so, it's great !
Man when you write clear posts I will follow you. My post wasn't an statement it was suggesting that other member from the forum wasn't so far of what media at the time was predicting. I was guessing as everyone else because this is testing and that it was my guess. It could be wrong or it could be right. But you clearly didn't read my post, that it is a fact.McG wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:26You can't just make a statement in the beginning that the following will be nonsense and fantasy. Either post the first statement with nothing following it or post what you are going to post and we will know that's what YOU think, rather than having a lame disclaimer that you really don't have a clue.Redragon wrote: ↑03 Mar 2018, 21:06Man can you read?McG wrote: ↑03 Mar 2018, 18:15
You're giving Renault a lot of positivity. Why not Williams with its first full Paddy Lowe car or Force India the Mercedes B team with 2 great drivers. Red Bull could get it wrong and Ferrari could be ahead of Mercedes. NO ONE KNOWS AND YOU ARE JUST GUESSING.
It's just all very daft guessing after that test.
No it's not a fact and it looks like it's you that can't read.Redragon wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:47Man when you write clear posts I will follow you.

Great could we discuss about the team because I don't care who it is rightMcG wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:54No it's not a fact and it looks like it's you that can't read.Redragon wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:47Man when you write clear posts I will follow you.

My points still stand.
Sure that would be great.Redragon wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:56Great could we discuss about the team because I don't care who it is rightMcG wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:54No it's not a fact and it looks like it's you that can't read.Redragon wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:47

Fighting with Haas means that they haven't done a good job, both Renault and McLaren.
Yeah, I know but I didn't want to go into that detail.PhillipM wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 15:01Not that simple, how much air flows through and how much cooling occurs depends not only on the intake size but the expansion ratio behind, the blockage effect from the radiators, the relative pressure difference at the intake to the exit, etc.
Large expansion ratio and bigger radiators means you're getting more flow and cooling even with a small intake, you can shrink radiators and sidepods but that causes more blockage which generally means you can't shrink your intakes much even with tighter, hotter running package - that's why even when we see teams bring new, tighter sidepods the intake area doesn't change much from the initial setup on the car.
A heat pocket by the turbo when the car is on slow laps/in laps/pitlane might even be fixed by tighter sidepods because you'd have relatively more/faster airflow up there, which is why it's not really a worry unless it's still doing it once they have the new package on.
Sounds about where McLaren would be with the Renault PU and a decent car. The Plan ? Improve race results to attract sponsors and push the team forward. McLaren is like a badly tuned band at the moment, all the necessary talent and skills are in the mix, it just needs somebody to fine tune it.Ground Effect wrote: ↑09 Mar 2018, 17:28According to Sky, Mclaren believe they're in the middle of the packwas that the plan?
If true and a real low fuel run that's about rubbishMcG wrote:1.17.9 for Alonso on HS!
