This is probably more telling than any journo’ ‘mclaren look good’ article

They are all playing mind games at this stage - we wont really know what is going ontill the first race or two is complete.

I am not saying McLaren will be blasting Mercedes and RedBull come Bahrain, but ever since Imola, I don't trust Lando at all.

The guy literally said they were going to struggle to make Q3 after practice, then he goes and almost gets pole the next day ...

Norris is learning from Toto to downplay his chances. He did that all last year.

Lando and Daniel seem to be gelling a lot better these days. It’s the kind of chemistry a lot of folks were expecting from the get go. Overall, they all seem ridiculously chilled and relaxed, I hope it’s a good sign. A good baseline is king under a budget cap, so let’s see how they develop.
Remembering that we only see what the media show us!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

No wonder the drivers hate the media side. He either is brash and tells everyone to “eff off, we’re the best ever and no one is going to stop us” or he says “other teams might be faster”, and he gets criticized either way.

I think if I were a driver, I’d shoot to be as good as Lewis just so I could shirk media responsibilities and get away with it.
