I saw in the car thread that all the updates introduced in Spain are staying on the car so thats good. Do we think that its a posibility that if they find a good set up for the track we can be faster than Ferrari?
I think that in Monaco we can only minimize losses in relation to Ferrari.

If we have a great qualifying session then anything is possible in the race.

I fully expect Daniel to dominate Lando here. Lando has been here only once in an F1 car and Daniel has won the race and been on the podium multiple times. He just loves the track too.

There were some interesting comments from Lando. Though he said it could be a tricky weekend because Ferrari should be strong and McLaren were weak in S3, the car in Barcelona was actually set up with S1 & S2 in mind. So let’s see if they can find something with the updates. I think Ferrari will still be favourites in the midfield. But hopefully we’ll be close and Daniel will be his usual strong self in Monaco.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

I'm not convinced. If there is any track that will punish you for not being fully comfortable in the car, Monaco is it. I don't think Danny Ric will be able to drive the circuit with quite the level of confidence that is needed. We'll have to see.

My only complaint with the livery is that the pale blue looks almost white in bright Sun on TV.

I'm a huge livery fan but also a bit jaded by livery hype - most hyped liveries fail to deliver in real life (looking at you Aston Martin and Alpine).
but THIS tho - I had my breath taken away literally every time this came on screen during FP1. An absolute triumph. Hope it doesn't ruin the regular livery for me though :(

They certainly do. From a McLaren perspective a P7/P8 has to be the target, and then see if they can capitalise from any mistakes ahead.
