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.
Maybe would be possible, maybe not. MCL32 is not MCL33. Always relatively to competition. Don't forget that Red Bull had troubles as well at the start of 2017 season.

There is a HUGE difference between the best and one of the best. Also MCL33 =/= MCL32. I'd think the "Technical" people here on this forum would know that.rogazilla wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018, 16:06google 'McLaren Best Chassis 2017'
June 2017, Matt Morris was quoted they have one of the best car. - the easiest one to find and it is a quote.
Through the year and different interviews Alonso and EB also touted they had 'the best car TODAY' or 'top 3 cars' at some of the track. Some are quotes and some are journalist interpreted which I don't care for these. There was an article couple of weeks ago where it says Mclarent claim they had the best car to boost morale but no quote in that one.
Top three isn't best chassis. And some claims of some journalists....rogazilla wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018, 16:06google 'McLaren Best Chassis 2017'

I am just saying that's where it comes from and you can google it. There are articles through 2017. I am not making the claim or defend it in anyway as I said and you quoted about how I feel about the articles with no quote. this is OT at this point and no reason to dwell on the past. Where Mclaren is today and where they can be by end of the season is more important.radosav wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018, 16:12Top three isn't best chassis.

Not as stop start as Canada but still basically just straights and slow and medium corners so it will sting again but maybe not as bad. As will Austria although the driver can make a bit of a difference in S3 there with how they attack the last two corners.Ground Effect wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018, 16:36Does anybody know the track characteristics of Paul Ricard, is it similar to Canada, meaning Mclaren expected to struggle?
This is assuming that the same vehicle trait that causes slow Qualy pace, isn't the reason why the car does so well in the race, and that fixing the issue doesn't slow down race pace a little as it improves Qualy.Alonso Fan wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018, 14:06They've been on renault's pace in the most resent races. It's just qualifying pace they lack. If they can sort that out they can easily beat Renault in the races and get that fourth place back
It's surprising that they struggle so badly on the hypersofts, considering they spent most of pre-season testing on them. I thought they would have had them figured out. I guess the cold weather and corresponding track temperature then negates most of the data collected.
