For sure "super slow" and "super efficient" are just words (your words btw) that mean anybody doesn't know how much exactly McLaren chassis is bad comparing to Red Bull. I have not changed anything in my position. This you who have claimed to know exact facts, not me.
I wouldn't attribute all of these but maybe most of them to the high drag. This my opinion, I don't have first hand information like you. We will see next season. All the best.
If course, I meant super slow in a straight line like you've said or at least alluded to in past posts. Don't just put it back on me. You've used words to that effect and claimed things you cannot prove.
And you've done it again.
Answer me this. Mclaren has the same drag with DRS open than a sauber or williams with it closed?
I have never used words like "super slow" and I am not responsible for your interpretations of my words. I claim that you cannot be 0.7 sec slower than a competitor car with Renault PU in particular sector, and in the same time to be 0.4 sec faster than a competitor car with Mercedes PU in the same sector, and in the same time to claim that your PU is the worst PU on the grid (assuming that Mercedes PU is superior to Renault), and your chassis is the best.
I am not a member of F1 team staff, so, the last question is outside of my competence, but I hope that you finally will tell us what are the real numbers.
If you have three cars, car A has a very good engine and a poor chassis, car B has a poor engine and a good chassis, Car C has a good engine and good chassis. How might they perform on a circuit that has two sectors which are more power dependant that the other sector.
It doesn't take a phd to work out how the comparative performances might pan out.
Then when the car B comes up behind car A in a sector where it is not possible to overtake, the performance of car B will be pegged by the dirty air in front, and being unable to pass on the straights in the power dependant sectors, will be stuck behind car A.
There is a great example of just this happening in F1.
