2018 McLaren F1 Team - Renault

[Ground Effect]

McLaren need more at 'home' race
Best of the rest was Renault's Nico Hulkenberg in seventh, ahead of the surprising Toro Rosso of Pierre Gasly and McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne.
Gasly was running a new aerodynamic part on his car, but team-mate Brendon Hartley was not, and was 12 places behind the Frenchman in 20th.
If Gasly and Alonso's positions are repeated on Saturday in qualifying, it would be embarrassing for McLaren at the home race for their chief shareholders, the Bahraini sovereign investment fund.
McLaren dropped Honda engines at the end of last year - at a net cost of about $100m - claiming their lack of performance and reliability was holding back a car they said was one of the best in the field.
However, Alonso told BBC Sport that McLaren had been hiding their true pace on the short runs and that their form was better represented by their long-run pace, on which he was about 0.5secs slower than Vettel on the same soft tyre.

It really isn't that hard to find considering it clearly says BBC Sport

Alonso was in the 35's similar to the front runners. His car seems to have good pace.

Obviously this is from Thursday, before TR officially announce to FIA the use of any new engine parts.
That is happening Friday morning i think. Its the only logical way to explain it.

not looking good in P3 for mclaren.

only 7 tenths behind bottas

[godlameroso]

The long run pace is very good, I think the McLaren Alonso could realistically score a 5th with a good start, and with some luck, maybe even more. He definitely has the speed to make a Nando train, whatever he snatches at the start he can keep.

It'll be tough to get a Q3 slot, this midfield is so tight. Haas, Renault, Toro Rosso all looking strong.

McLaren should be ashamed, crap car.
