excellent job, but what is that at the start? a video glitch or a car glitch?

Anti-Stail mode kicked in, same with Verstapen on his start

Looks like he jumped the lights, re-engaged clutch and then started again.

good job by mclaren , their race pace is 4th fastest by a distance to other midfield runners.

Correction. The race pace has been fourth fastest in the last two races, but you can't be sure one of the other midfield teams won't jump back. Let's enjoy the points advantage for the moment. The team continues to work on improving the car. This season they should focus on consolidating fourth. I am sure that extra prize money will be put into good use for further improvements next year.

Lando:

“It was a fun race! A good start, managed to go forwards and battled the Mercedes and the Ferrari for a lap or so, but had to concede those positions and think of my own race. The Alfa got past me on the first lap, around the outside at Turn Four. Not much I could’ve done and dropped back to fourth and then fifth, then had Max behind me for a little bit, so I was in there. I saved my tyres for the first few laps, had it under control then pushed and did what I needed to do, pulled a gap, boxed, and managed the pace from then on.

Very mature approach from Lando...

By the way. Does anyone know if any updates are scheduled for Silverstone? I know Alfa and Racing Point have confirmed they will be bringing some updates in Britain, and probably other midfield teams will bring updates too, but I haven't heard anything from McLaren. Supposedly, there was a floor which they tested back in France, but I don't know if that is coming for Silverstone or no.

Yesterday, Carlos said that they are preparing new items for Silverstone.

I thought he said the opposite, that there won’t be anything new for Silverstone, but later on...

That’s interesting, because in the Sky interview, Carlos said the upgrade won’t be coming for Silverstone, but later.

I wonder if they are not calling anything less than the package in Spain as "an upgrade". If the smaller upgrades are internally called "tweaks" or "modifications" to downplay their significance, then they will obviously deny they are bringing a performance boosting "upgrade".

If they were faster than Renault in France all of a sudden after Canada, then it means they had some "modifications" for sure. Ricciardo suggested McLaren probably had an upgrade, but Norris denied. Maybe that's because they term it as a "tweak" rather than an "upgrade".

For instance, that suspension could technically be called a suspension tweak rather than a suspension upgrade, since it's not a change in geometry or anything that's obvious. A floor to accommodate the aero impact of this change could technically be called a "tweak" instead of a "new floor".

I am just guessing...wild theories, but quite possible, considering they are not talking much this year, but are delivering a lot.

Not sure if this is a good thing but he had to pass all 11 cars on track, nothing from pitstops. Anycase going from last to best of the rest was more than expected, so awesome job to the whole team, but this time specially Carlos

I think that´s exactly what they´ve achieved these past couple of races. Even before France Mclaren was fourth, probably due to consistency more than pure pace but fourth yet, now after Austria McLaren has consolidated 4th, fourth fastest car and edging 5th with more than double points they will probably score at next GP

Ovbiously the season is far from finished, but I think we must appreciatte the big step forward McLaren has achieved in last two GPs
