Hungary will be a test to see if previous struggles were more track specific

C3-C5, high temps & no high speed corners should mean a good track for AMR23. it's also a track PDR mentioned at the start of the year as one where they'll be good

PDR?

I wonder if mechanical grip and good traction is low speed corners are one of the hardest things to accomplish. Seems to me that McLaren have struggled in that area for the last decade or more.

Indeed they did. Although the wording is a bit weird. What kind of inseason testing can a team do?

If rumors are true & Redbull indeed going to install AM-style side-pods; it will be a good reference to AM for future direction.

The "filming days" are glorified test sessions.

Mclaren and Alpine have already done as much with varying degrees of success.

Alonso:

“It was fascinating to see the facilities, the people there in the same room, manufacturing our own parts of the car.”

“Until now, third parties were making our car, our chassis and everything. It’s a step forward."

100km per test. Advantage to have run at Silverstone not long ago, you already have the base setup. If you can set it up for similiar temp and time of day you can really draw good conclusions and waste few KMs on setup. Basically you jump right in and start gathering data.

They tried the higher DF front wing again (at least in the scene where the car stopped in front of the garage). RW is difficult to judge.

I concur, only working updates can take them forward not talks. When hype starts to die, you will see more optimistic talks. This is what has happened with AM in last 1 month, more talk less action.
