2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Zak says they’ll be bringing something every race but I did wonder if that included Bahrain considering test was last week

[BMMR61]

Definitely. They're almost certainly holding quite a bit back, I'm sure others are too. Expecting the bigger upgrades for Suzuka.

To be honest I thought the days of increments updates every race was a thing of the past now with the budget cap.
So I was surprised to read him say it at all

Oscar barely featured in DTS, even with his accomplishments as a rookie, sprint pole+win.... odd.

Once again it felt like the Red Bull & Gunter show, with some sprinklings of Merc/Ferrari.

McLaren got a quick "Our car was bad but now it isn't" and then a couple of minutes in the final episode, very odd considering Qatar

.....and that's why I never watched a SINGLE season of DTS.
It has nothing to do with F1,it has everything to do with targeting a specific audience!

This has been bugging me.
In this article the last ‘looser’ from testing is Aston Martin and they predict that Aston are 4th fastest in quali and race trim (which they probably are).

However, the only tables I have seen and can find only show them 5th and 6th.

Have the F1 team not published their revised pecking order or have I just missed it?

Not here looking to talk about Aston in the Mclaren thread.
Not here to listen to people just dismissing the article and author.

Just would like to know if I’ve missed something?

I wonder if the pecking order is for the entire season or just for race 1-4?

Lando Norris: It's a question everyone is asking. We have a rough idea of where we are. There's the top 2 then a tight group behind with us, Aston and Mercedes.

I'm very optimistic for this season, I think we can get a win or two and then attack in full strength for next year (which is the last of this set of regulations), this would be our best chance.

And previously Lando was often labelled a pessimist. Well, the season is starting.

Perhaps Australia will suit the car too. There are no slow, tight corners there as such. And on tracks with plenty of fast corners, it should be fine.

Bring it on! I think it will be a great season.

If Lando is right that there is a top 2 and then the rest - that is good as well. I would prefer if top 2 included McLaren but I will take anyone challenging Verstappen to have a better season.

The car was happier at Australia last year. We know it has some of the same Characteristics, it will be interesting to see how it fares over the next 6-7 races.

It seems like RB don't consider McLaren in the top 4

[CjC]

I think Perez is basically saying what most of us are dreading
