I'm sure the drama queens will still be lurking.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 10:25Looks like they got a solution. Lando is on a longish stint now without doing obvious cooldown laps.
Keeping up with the lapcount of other teams. If they have a good day today, will we see another swing of opinion?
I doubt it, but who knows. ATs principal was talking about his pecking order yesterday, he thinks Merc, RB and Ferrari are the lead 3 teams with Mclaren quite close behind and the midfield close behind Mclaren. But given margin for error we could push forward towards a leading contender or dragged back to a midfield fight, with that swinging from track to track.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 10:54Where do you think Mclaren might stand? Can they challenge for victories this year on merit and perhaps take the title fight?
I think the disadvantage isn’t that big as Norris has been sitting in the garage for most of time during the past couple of days. It is a minor disadvantage that Daniel can overcome and shouldn’t use as an excuse.
He’s hardly been sitting in the garage all day, the cars run constantly all test, just completing shorter runs
He actually made a mistake in the final corner, leaving the track on that particular lap. The car seemed to be struggling a lot with understeer.
He didn’t do much running either. 60 laps yesterday is not a whole lot and quite a bunch of the laps he did were very slow laps for aero testing. Sure, it is better than not driving at all.. I just want to say that given the circumstances, we shouldn’t make it bigger than it is. Lando has not been able much to push it on its tail either..the EDGE wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 11:08He’s hardly been sitting in the garage all day, the cars run constantly all test, just completing shorter runs
The work Lando’s done will have been a huge benefit, but I’m sure Danny will catch-up quickly, he has had running in Barcelona after all
Good news is the car works & so far there is no evidence Danny will struggle with the handling compared to Lando, like last year
The all cars struggle for front grip, lock up easily and find it harder to regain traction. RB looks the most solid at the moment.
I dont see the point. I think we are just a bit behind at the moment.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑12 Mar 2022, 11:20Many claim and rightfully so that Mercedes are sandbagging but is Mclaren also sandbagging?
