Issues for Sainz as well

Lol I think I really jinxed this hard. Everything is going wrong right now.

Edit: I am not gonna be watching FP3 and Quali then, sorry.

Massive reliability issues in FP2. This track is a real car breaker! Hopefully we can get these issues resolved before Quali and the race (and it catches up to the other during the race!)

Practice 2 last weekend we were P7 and 13.....

Points are for the race. Get the problems fixed first

Glad they get them now. Overnight to resolve.

Lando's session is done. They're stripping the car.

[ALO_Power]

Better now than in qualy or race.

Any general remarks over race pace?

What other problems did not prevent us today? I think today we took everything.

Think of the saved tyres

Any general remarks over race pace?

Eyeballing it, SAI's FP2-end stint of about 10 laps went from low 58s to mid 59s, which is not good at all -- about 0.5s off what others were doing at the time, which is an age around this track
But teamstream spoke of traffic and who knows how old the tires were or how detuned his engine was
Fingers crossed they have a good night (morning) of data review

[CjC]

I do feel we often run with the PU turned down on a Friday so fingers crossed

[Emag]

Yeah I tend to jinx stuff hard when I expect good performances. Sorry guys, am taking the blame for this one

Saying that.... are we seeing Mclaren struggle on one of ‘not normal’ race tracks again? Where there’s no historical data to draw from.

From my observations during the last race, we were strong in the middle sector... the sector that has been removed for this weekend
