Don't know what can be taken from these results or performances as half the field were preparing for rain in some form and the other half winding off as much they could get away with and still get around the corners.
Renault looked a far better car than Mclaren, but had even light rain fallen I feel sure the Mclaren would have easily overhauled them, even if they managed to stay on track.

I don't think much can be made of it without including the setup.

Speed = Danny Ric 312.6 and Norris 310.8 and Ric 234.3 to Nor 234.4 at the finish line. Ric obviously more slippery at higher speed.
The FIA has these numbers for the race ...

The speedtrap is at a the top of the hill. So it isn't as telling as the speed just before hitting the brakes for turn 5. With DRS I saw Ocon hit almost 350KMs/Hr during the race in Live timing.

only problem is that the impact of the tow just before turn 5 can skew the results a lot

Rp seems to have more raw speed but it looks like they struugle with setup to unlock it
I guess that's what happens when you copy someone elses car philosphy without understanding it first.

DRS was enabled. So YEAH, there is always a tow and it's always fairly consistant. Especially around the same laps.

You can just say KMH for kilometres per hour.

Looking at the pictures of the car for the weekend and the comparison versus Spa, Mclaren seemed to run quiet a big amount of Downforce last weekend... Really interested on what the team can do this weekend.

Trying to find pictures of the MCL34 at Monza to compare the rear wings between the two.

The side deflectors are back on the car, which seem to indicate that they work as intended.

Good first sector, good top speed.
