2018 McLaren F1 Team - Renault

I don't understand why Vandoorme is not performing as intended. Alonso had an accident and still reached and passed Vandoorme even though he had a damaged car.

I really hope that upgrade will give us at least 1 second compared to our rivals. If that happens we will be able to fight for those podiums and not forced to fight in the midfield with all these dangerous drivers.

Yes but Alonso got a free pitstop because of the safety car

[Darth-Piekus]

I wonder if he will go for another pitstop or try to go with those tyres to the end.

He did but instead 12 he was last. And he will destroy tires in traffic.

He can't pull one stopper.

Hopefully go to the end. The tyres should last

[Darth-Piekus]

He might go a long run with those softs and then pull ultra softs and go full speed for a few laps.

In case of SC yes, but without, doubt it.-

[Darth-Piekus]

Mclaren though is the car that is treating his tyres better than all the rest. You never know. We shal see. At least if they can do one pit stop less than the rest.

Fernando is doing wonders driving with a heavily damaged car. In any case Hulkenberg and Sirotkin ruined our race.

I just hope this B Spec Car in Spain can give us the power to be able to fight for the front and not forced to fight in the midfield with all those dangerous drivers.

a sauber ?!!
oh dear ...

[Darth-Piekus]

What did you expect. Alonso had a heavily damaged car and used tyres. Under normal conditions that Sauber wouldnt even be near.

On another note are they thinking of keeping Alonso till the end?

[michl420]

i think the problem is they cant`t bring the soft tire to work in the baku race.

[Darth-Piekus]

They better gain at least a second compared to their rivals with the new upgrade.

[Darth-Piekus]

Do we still remain 4th after this race if they finish like this?

[TheGkbrk]

Mclaren remains 4th by a point.

edit: before the RBR incident and the safety car

[Darth-Piekus]

Well it seems that we got some good points after all in the end in Baku and now I hope the upgrade will give us a clear second to our rivals.

It's definately a new car that is coming in Spain. If Fernando has a car that is 2 to 3 tenths close to the first 3 he will definately be able to push for wins.
