very dissapointing, either their new found route with the new fw's cancelled other coming updates, or there must be something big on the way, they havent delivered anything in a long time, except a new fw, but that has got to be signed of long time ago, i had clearly expected a new floor already to go with the new fw

In fact I was kind of expecting it.
We probably won’t seen anything till Singapore apart from low drag solutions.

Still disappointing when you consider all the talk from Mercedes regarding their upgrades and what Red Bull have brought to Hungary.
Or the far more likely, they are near the ceiling of performance for this regulation set. There's no clear "magic bullets" anymore. Mercedes has brought plenty of upgrades, that's true, but they had clear limitations with their car, and even then, on the surface there have not been changes that were as significant overall as McLaren's Miami package.

As for RedBull, it was about time the brought something significant on their car. It's been rumored for months at this point. Surprised it took them this long.

One thing we can't criticise the team for us upgrades being brought at the right time.

Mercedes have been playing catch up ( going for gold, anyone remember that?) And it obvious that if things are done well, time can be saved, as shown by Mclaren themselves.

But, upgrades dont alway cause big improvements. So, its not sonething to cling on to, confidently.

I urge everyone to not overreact. They've brought upgrades in both last two races and the car is very fast.

We haven't shown much. Hopefully they are running with engine down.

Just setup work and tyre evaluation. Standard FP1. I guess there be more performance runs in FP2.

As it stands we have Ferrari, Max and Mercedes in the mix for the podium, might actually not be our race.

Unbelievable the panic in here about fp1 and lack of upgrades. The team should focus on maximising their current package and getting wins with it as clearly upgrades won't matter if they keep making strategic blunders.

I mean, if they can get a car 0.5s faster than everyone else, strategy errors won't matter :D not that I am expecting it happening.
