He's used three so far. Apologies if this shouldn't be posted, I'm not sure. It's updated on an ongoing basis and is not just an "as is today" table. Daniels is yet to go in.

A list of all of the parts used here:

we do seem to be running more downforce than the other cars, I suspect this is due to the team having to apply more front end due to the obvious front limitations of the car and to compensate for that had to add more rear end. Hopefully this helps us tomorrow with tyre management and Daniel and Lando are able to pull a good long first stint with good pace, and then come at them at the end. Track will likely be green come the race because it just rained for a few hours, so lets hope that hurts Ferrari especially with there low downforce config and graining issues hurt them. This is exactly the France situation.

Are you confirming that it’s rained after qualifying? Saturday evening or Sunday morning?

Leclerc was buoyant stating he was happy that he has a low downforce set up as it’ll be warmer come race day....?

I believe it rained very early Sunday morning, so most of the rubber probably got washed out, plus no support races to relay that rubber. So will be less grip at the start, although this resurface track seems crazy compared to last year, the grip seems endless, I also think Ferrari already got on top of there front graining issues so idk we will see

Rained early morning? Looks like it’s going to be a wet start

haha yeah I guess it started raining again, so much for 7% rain prediction

So a wet start. Good luck to both of our drivers. Both Daniel is starting at the same position as Sainz but Lando has a long way to go to reach Leclerc. Let's just hope for the best. It's a long race and anything can happen.

Can Lando produce a fantastic performance in these mixed conditions to get some places?

Not a good first stint. Lando is losing ground compared to those in front.

I think it's worth saving tyres, safety car is likely.

[Darth-Piekus]

The thing is that by the time Leclerc and those between him and us eat their tyres the distance is gonna be large.

Track doesn't seem to suit us. We'll need some luck.

Sainz flying through the field where Danny Ric can’t make a dent at present.

[McL-H]

I am amazed we just cannot keep up the pace with the Ferrari’s. We’re toast.

[Darth-Piekus]

The track doesn't suit the car so today is gonna be damage limitation fron Lando only. I expected Mclaren to excel in these mixed conditions but it seems that this track his all of our weaknesses.

[Emag]

Yeah, we have pathetic pace today. I think I will just skip watching this race.

Ric is on the Williams’ level. Congrat Ric
