We're right up their gearbox the whole lap, but lack the top speed to actually get the pass done on the straight. The raw pace is there, the top speed however, isn't.

It’s almost like the MP 4/7 against FW14B, except everyone else is in a 2023 car

Exactly what I predicted yesterday. Those top speed values were horrible.

And now, look at this, 0.4 behind a Williams, slipstream + drs and they cannot overtake.
A literal brick of a car.

Not that we currently have much to lose, but fighting each other is a bit of a waste.

It is impossible to say how fast the race pace is with races like this. Top speed is obviously not the best.

Think it’s quite funny tbf

Pretty much sums up the team, drivers fighting eachother rather than the competition, the car being slower than the Maccas indycar, the team not understanding the concept of strategy, debris from one car damaging the other

What a clown show

Should just crash into eachother for good measure

Not the best? double slipstream and DRS for Piastri and 321....after all we can call it "not the best" or we can even call it tragedy....
And it is on the 2nd fastest track in the calendar

Another embarrassing race for the McLaren F1 team to match those of 2017.

Carry on with the blindfold on, carry on. Specification B, update in Baku, blah blah blah. The usual for a team that does not live up to his name.

Just perfect how last years „you just wait for the Windtunnel“ has become „ you just wait for Baku“
