Baku this Baku that, won’t believe it till I see it.

Just not sure why the car can get into Q3 somewhat easily but is stuck in P20 with supposedly superior race pace

Safety car. Brings both cars back into play, albeit from the back. Mediums to the end??

The fact that they have caught the pack after they were 20+ seconds each with the front wing change is a silver lining… Safety car now, that gets them in the pack again

Because you are not only understanding how the strategy work… It isn’t about race pace, it was about extending the hard stint until they got a safety car (which we just got)… Now they are in sync with the grid

Hopefully we can get something out of this, the safety car should open the race back up for us again.

The mediums don’t seem that strong… But it’s an option against the cars around them

Seems that all Mclaren has is for the Baku upgrade to deliver more than half a second with the correlation of the new floor, the tyres and the flow with both wings if the car has any chance to be on the top 4. At the moment the car seems to not be gentle with the tyres and seems to still be draggy.
