[ 2020 ] Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

You’ve ignored the bits saying a customer team can also have its preferred suppliers oil and fuel homolagated.

No, I did not. It is there. The question from prior entries was if they can get the secret sauces that Merc uses. Not sure what point you're trying to make.

You quoted my post and I did not raise that issue, I only commented that I hoped they will stick with Mercedes oil and fuel and not use gulf products in the Mercedes PU despite the gulf sponsorship.

The modern incarnation of Gulf Oil is a shell company that puts their logo on stuff. They don't even have the capability to develop F1-grade fuel and oils.

At Zaks rate the cars gonna have no more space for sponsor/logos

The question is how much money these deals bring to the table.

Take a look at this picture and tell me, if you would think particular team would go out of bussiness at the end of the season:


Farcry from Mclaren, but all i want to say is that underselling can also be problematic (i dont know how much are spaces worth on Mclaren these days).

But overall good work from Zak indeed.

not all of Mclarens partners are sponsors who hand over money to the team. Many just supply free or heavily discounted services in exchange for advertising, such as IQONIQ

I think the last two partner announcements are only for this GP?

If your referring to IQONIQ & Gulf, then no, they are both in it for the long run

IQONIQs fan engagement app will not even launch until later this year & Mclaren announced has a multi year deal with Gulf, although it was speculated to be a British GP special only before the official announcement was made

I meant IQONIQ and Mind but i hear you on IQONIQ

MIND is a mental health charity so it’s just a good will gesture by Mclaren

Mind is for the rest of the season but I would think it’ll be extended

With Mind being a charity partner and, AFAIK, only active in the UK, I can see them getting a more prominent exposure this weekend and next than at other events.

It is great to see an F1 team highlighting Mental Health in this way though.

My favourite team reinforcing my opinion of them!!

As far as I understand, there is a lot of work with the air package, there is no point in looking at the time. But the behavior of the machine is very nervous.

All the cars are struggling with the wind. Wouldn't say it looks anywhere near as nervous as the Red Bull, that looks a right handful!

Seems we are in the middle pack on race pace. Toro Rosso/Renault all extremely close. Tire deg is huge (on all cars).
Even starting 11th after qualifying wouldn’t be a bad thing here this year.
S1 and S2 are pretty decent. Very average in S3. Seems a trend in quali and race pace sims

Carlos was complaining about traffic during his flying lap so there may be a few tenths to be gained
