"Plus it's pretty clear to me they activated qualy mode for the first time in Q1 and then wouldnt take more risks."
- Let's judge it if it happens then.
- They're going to need all the engines modes for more engine dependent tracks
Still cant find these "weak" quotes but if he's happy after having driven the car then that says it all really. Not a great qualifying but the whole session was a mess so hopefully they can move forward in the race.Redragon wrote:Those comments from Button and Alonso were from Thursday I believe, Alonso was quiet surprise and happy with the car today http://www.marca.com/motor/formula1/gp- ... b45f7.htmlME4ME wrote:http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns33329.htmlManu_Forti wrote:Got a link to these quotes of them both saying the car is weak ?? .. looked on McLaren and other websites. Not a sign of that, plenty of comments about how they didnt get all that they wanted done. Both seemed fairly positive. And James Allen is a journo, most of what he writes is just clickbait for his website. The last time I looked he wasnt exactly experienced in F1 engine and chassis design.
The car hasnt run in this spec until today, and that was in two wet sessions where the team didnt get everything they wanted done. If they are at the back of the grid tomorrow after a dry qualifying its time to be concerned.

"We didn't expect to be too fast here because our car is still limited in performance in certain areas. But we were more competitive than we anticipated, have some new things coming for in the next few races, and we're looking to be stronger in the future
"Tomorrow will be interesting – hopefully we can get both cars into the points."
Button added that he was encouraged by McLaren's proximity to Williams and Force India.
"Winter testing was positive in terms of mileage, but less so in terms of pace, so we're all positively surprised with how close we were to Williams and Force India," he said.
"I actually believe we have a better race car than a qualifying car – which is a turnaround from last year – and our deployment is almost as good as anybody else's, which will benefit us more in the races.
Sorry, I'm not an English native speaker, but what does "deployment" mean exactly in F1?
