No way McLaren get into the Q3, I think it is time to face reality.

I have to agree Ron. Vandoorne is simply not good enough for a top team.

Vandoorne is mediocre compared to the other drivers. Alonso is a good reference for car performance.

McLaren simply has problems getting temp in their tyres, the update seems to be a big step. Whats the diff between and ss?

I would go for more laps in his place. It seems that they have problems warming them up from the first lap.

The car is much faster than it shows. I hope they fix that tyre problem soon.

If we don't enter Q3 it will be a failure as the car is much faster as it shows.

Especially since he's going to be on SS's now for the race, he screwed up the last sector on the softs.

Was slower than his Medium try and SS try. I don't know what is going on and the Medium worked so well and the other tyres aren't working.

On normal conditions he should be between the first 5 considering the huge difference between the Medium and Supersoft. I have no idea what is going on with the tyre.
