isn't the car as good as SF-15T how could a suspension could completely effect handling characteristics of the car? i think its just the knock-on effects of the engine itself , even if you add all the downforce the tires dont have enough rotational energy to put all the downforce to the ground!!!( crofty's explanation on the new redbull which debuted in barcelona and addon effects of reduced engine power) so the same implies for the MP4-30, if only they could reduce their BS PR it would do great for their team!!!PlatinumZealot wrote:Yeah to make matters worse the new suspension sucks.

With several drivers complaining about the tyres, Alonso says the issue is magnified for McLaren as he has to push harder in corners to make up for the Honda power unit's straight-line deficit.
“We are slow. The tyres are not very grippy, with these compounds we saw a lot of cars going off and it was no different for us. Also we are losing a lot of time on the straights and tried to gain time on the corners, so it's a difficult situation but as we knew and we try to get the maximum out of the car.

And nothing change in FP2. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for McLaren.
