[ 2020 ] Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[diffuser]

So what tells us that Mercedes might not have something illegal to give them an unfair advantage. I see Mclaren making strides every year and still we are so far from Mercedes like ages.

Not a good start from Norris. Lost two places but Sainz did an ok start.

Nothing, nothing says what they are presently not doing something illegal. Same can be said of all the teams.

If the other teams had something illegal on their cars and yet they are so back then they must be doing something wrong.

It bothers me that last years Mercedes is so far from the rest.

Let's hope our pitstops are fast and clean this time.

Sainz is catching Albon fast.

Lando out of nowhere picking up the pace, unluckily it seems that attacking is not an option at this stage on the race and we are just keeping distance to Leclerc in front... Same with Carlos, who is maintaining the gap to Albon.

This race will be made on pitstop, from the strategy on when you pit to of course no issues during the stop

2.8 for sainz. Not the best but not bad! Also i think Norris' pitstop was good. I cant understood what Norris did at the start. He was almost side by side with sainz and suddenly he deaccelerated and gasly passed hom so easily. He needs to work hit starts a lot.

You can quote me now: the 2 stop strategy was a bad call. Stuck in a train.... All advantage already lost. He will have to be VERY bold and a little lucky

He was on the outside on turn 3 and he probably didn’t trust the grip and backed of.

I’m not very sure about the strategy with Carlos, not understanding why they pit him and got him stuck behind Mag/Oco/Alb

We may have messed up with strategy here, got stuck in traffic, and now lost out to 1 stoppers. Sainz needs to gun it now. Lando will struggle to finish in points from there.

[michl420]

indeed risky strategie, but could come out very good or very bad

[101FlyingDutchman]

Its hard to overtake so guess what...it’s hard to overtake!!! Why give up the track position when the pace of the midfield is so close. Unless they think the medium is marginal for that amount of laps....

[Xero]

Can't see how this could be good without a safety car now.

Rain in 14 laps time, if we can eek out the tyres till then it could save our race.

[101FlyingDutchman]

But why make this particular call? I cannot see how this somehow could benefit our race. Bizarre.

If it rains everyone comes in. Simple. Track position still gone. It’s a very odd strat

I understood Lando’s pit strategy (although, it also seemed very early)... But, Carlos? Not only did they pit him too soon, putting him on Softs? 1/3rd of the race left... Let’s see what happens and let’s hope it pays off

McLaren have been struggling with tyre wear, so I guess they were forced into a 2 stop regardless.

[Darth-Piekus]

It bothers me we are doing the same time as those Racing Points with the faster tyre.
