2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[M840TR]

I imagine long-run pace is an immense concern for the team going into the race. They're running excessive drag on the car and haven't even tested Saturday's setup with race sims. So despite both drivers starting on the racing line, it'd be challenging to stave off the slippery Renaults' charge.

Fingers crossed for a clear start first of all to come out unscathed. If we gain a position from it it's welcomed.

Finally a good start!

[RonDennis]

Today they can secure 4th in my opinion.

Look how easy Verstappen passes us on the straights. Honda definitely a better engine than Renault atm.

Not necessarily, more down to downforce levels on setup

[Darth-Piekus]

Or simply the Red Bull is a better car not to mention Verstappen's talent. Come on let's be serious. Sure they fixed their reliability but Honda are still the 4th engine on power.

On another note a fantastic start from both drivers and a fantastic drive from Sainz to keep the superior Mercedes for so many rounds behind.

Pitstops not very fast, maybe they’re focusing on cleaner stops

[f1rules]

See how easy sainz passed gasly that renault must be superior

I don’t think we are running a high downforce setup either. If Honda were slower than Renault, it would never be so easy to pass on similar strategy. Honda has made massive gains.

What do you mean. Norris did a 2.2 Sec Pit stop.

Honda has made massive gains but they are still the slowest engine. Not by much but they are still.

Let's be serious. It's the Red Bull who is a generally faster car and Verstappen has lots of talent to the point where I can consider him the new Senna.

Have you ever heard of DRS? Sainz just let him pass.

Ah, didn’t see that stop. Only saw sainz’s steady stop

[RonDennis]

VCS, it’s always the same garbage.
