2022 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

I would say it's more the talent of Fernando Alonso than the car. Look at where Ocon is.

Agreed.

Both cars in Q3!!! Hype hype!

On another note look at the time of Alonso. Lap of clear talent there.

Yeah. That's the annoying part. McLaren seems to work well but at the same time, Alpine seems to as well.

Looking at the porpoising here abd how it is affecting even tbe Ferrari, it may actually help Mclaren to get less df from the floor and more from the rear wing.

6 tenths off Red Bull on a used soft? That sounds great.

Usually differences between used and new were very large. Did that change?

So unfortunate for Alonso, he looked to be right up there before that. But that opens up a possible P5&6 for McLaren. Would have bent over sideways to be running for that this weekend!!

I'm more excited if the gap to the top teams is not that big, but being P5 and P6 would be amazing.

Whatever happens this qualy is a big success. Both cars in Q3.

Higher if Perez gets penalised

I think I brought Bad Luck to Fernando.

Good thing for you Fernando doesn't believe in luck, or so I heard..

P4 and P7. Excellent!!

Now that's a turnaround.

P4 and P7. Excellent!!

Very good result. A shame Ricciardo could not improve on his new soft run. Tight gaps to Mercedes.

[Darth-Piekus]

Bravo to Lando Norris for P4. Daniel could have gone better but P7 is still good. Team is improving.

Yep, sooo tight, but great (and unexpected) result.

Could be P3 if Perez gets a penalty though, but you never know with the FIA.
