If your 2.alot seconds off the pace - you'd need to be doing some pretty weird tests to justify that gap!
As I said yesterday, thats the guts of 30 laps fuel. There is no way there is that much difference between McLaren and the rest on fuel.
There is no point testing with a heavier than 605kg car - your not loading the tyres right then...
There is no point testing a down on power engine - your not gonna find reliability issues then...
They *might* be trying out low downforce set-ups for alot later in the year - but it is hard to justify given their problems in Jerez...
McLaren's pace is a conundrum, no doubt... the simple answer may be the right answer... they have none.
