2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

New or 1 lap old softs?

Going out on used tyres. Maybe those scrubbed from the end of Q1.

1:15:328 for LEC, so -0.5 vs Mediums. But also Max, Tsu and Oscar are way below Q1 times. Not a good lap for Lando.

Scrappy lap but pulled out good S3. That's his challenge, nail all three sectors.

Agree, this will be main challenge, to put it all together.
Regarding Mercedes...they are +0.7 vs top 3 teams. HUGE!

So one soft for Q1, one soft for Q2, two new available for Q3.

According to Toto Mclaren are ahead in quali and race pace by ‘a chunk’
No doubt it’s just mind games

Ahead of Mercedes? I would be surprised if they weren't.

Of everyone he said.

Clearly it was gamesmanship then

The time of judgement is here. Q3 will decide the final positions and it looks like both Mclarens, both Ferraris and Max are equal. If our drivers do an 1.14 pole is ours.

Why would it be? Mercedes is not fighting McLaren at the moment.

It looks like we've got time in the bank still. The driver can make a big difference here though. Hulkenberg and Tsunoda have show what you can do if you get the lap right so this is anyone's pole.

[Darth-Piekus]

Our drivers need to do a 1.14.8 - 1.14.9 to get pole.

[SilviuAgo]

I have a red flag feeling ))

[FittingMechanics]

It will be super tight. I think the one that nails a perfect lap takes it.

[SilviuAgo]

Not bad for LN4 in S2 and S3. Now he has to put to this lap also S1. Let's gooooo!!

[Slahinki]

Losing too much time in S1 so far.

VER overheated his tyres in S1. I think Norris can take this.

Red flag is also quite likely. We are last in queue, any red flag will affect us.

[Darth-Piekus]

Both Lando and Oscar needs to find 2 more tenths out of that car but we are very close. Every small detail will make the difference.
