What about that race 1 upgrade. Any info of how significant it can be apart from solving our brake issue.
Hard to imagine it being very significant. With the race being less than a week from today, doesn't make much sense to test huge diversions form this package at the last moment. Unless they were limited by manufacturing and just couldn't get those parts ready for this test.
Either way, the primary focus point should be to fix those brakes. They won't even be able to finish the race if that's not dealt with.
Let's hope the team be more consistent with the 3 first podium places than last year cause at this rate the only victories with top form I have seen from Mclaren is from the old F1 2000 in my Playstation 1.
Wins this year wouldn't have been a realistic goal either way. But with how this test went, I would tone the expectations down a bit. It's a long season anyway. If they start with issues that can be ironed out through development, they can probably get closer towards the end.
In the mean time though, I'll probably feed my nostalgia a bit too by watching one or two of the older races from the 2010-2012 era
