I hope McLaren don't decide they have to sacrifice Oscar to maximize their points haul again, I see why they do it, but he deserves better
Its great to see McLaren in a position where they can choose to run just 1 lap in Q1, It confirms they have left the midfield behind, at least here any way. 0.5 quicker than 4th best team is an incredible achievement
It didn't maximise points haul (Monza), but that is another debate.
You're 1st or not 1st in this game but the goal of being 4th fastest car by year end appears to have been smashed (so far).
It will be interesting to analyse the gaps in pace in the race at the seasons end now the updates have finished coming because this is where he money is really at. How close are we at the seasons end in time to RB. Might be nice to get a graph of the % away from RB complete race time for each race. There would be variables interfering with the true picture, but you'll get a good approximation through the trend.
No debate needed about Monza, I completely agree with you, but that is what the team claimed i believe?
The guys were very evenly match again this weekend, it could have gone either way with P2/P3, I expect that to continue between them, like it has between 2 other previous McLaren team mates over the years... World champion Fernando Alonso & Rookie Lewis Hamilton. As equal in year 1 as it is in year 15
I'm pretty sure the analysis in race pace will just show McLaren have smashed it, in every single way possible... off the chart!
, but I wouldn't rule out further updates. They've definitely stopped developing the MCL60, but I'm sure I remember reading that if there's something they discover whilst developing next years car that can be bought to this years car then they would
