2018 McLaren F1 Team - Renault

Stop overreacting. They are getting lapped by frontrunners and that's why there are 2 second swings.

[Alonso Fan]

Supersofts died after a few laps. You saw the round the outside move Alonso did on the force India because of the superior grip. But then they died after a few laps and were very slow.

He was much faster then leclerc on the mediums but couldn't get past. he got past just a few laps ago when the VSC ended.

The bad thing is that we did a bad start and lost places at the start when we should be in front of Magnussen.

Also I personally find it bullshit that this Hass just bought a last years Ferrari car instead of making their own.

[Alonso Fan]

Drive shaft for Vandoorne

Yes pity about the start

[fouad1979]

Alonso is 1.3 slower than verstappen every lap and his in clean air

[GoranF1]

Update package has turned the situation around, better Quali pace much worse race pace

[TheGkbrk]

Red Bull is not a rival for Mclaren at the time. Not a surprise to see them going slower than a fresher tyred Red Bull.

[fouad1979]

The race pace has gone his slower than sains and magnuss

The race pace has gone his slower than sains and magnuss

It was never there

What Gkbrk said. At the moment Mclaren is trying to be clear best of the rest and then build on reaching the first 3.

However some heads should roll. The heads of those that managed a car that should arrive in Melbourne and instead arrived in Spain. I also wonder what the hell did the aerodynamic team do this winter cause clearly they didn't do a very good job.

Well race pace is at sainz level.always same gap. I think it is damage control

[Darth-Piekus]

Personally I believe we will outdevelop both Renault and Hass as we have a bigger budget and I hope it will be in the next 2 or 3 races.

Anyone knows if they are gonna bring other large updates in the next races? Something that can help us remove that drag and fix that tyre warmth problem?

Also Hass reminds me of Brawn. A huge lie built by buying a team that was ready with a car that was ready.

Renault has a bigger budget.

[Darth-Piekus]

I dont think so. Everytime we outdevop renault.

[Alonso Fan]

Tyres are different for this race don't forget. They have a smaller tread depth. I think Pirelli will revert back after this race. So we will get a better indication of race pace in the next 2 races
