Guess they should have gone white and unmarked for the intermediate and wet tyres

Used green for the C5 and blue for C1 for testing

No chance man but Bottas did 1m16.960 in C4 so mclaren need more downforce

Alex Albon in TR did 1.16.882 on C5 yesterday ... McLaren really needs to lower the time even further.

Yes and just for leading the midfield so they must find more

2 questions though: How much fuel and what engine mode did the TR use?

From SoyMotor.
"Sainz becomes strong in the first position: 1'17 "495 with the C3."

"By the way, it has reached our ears that McLaren has lowered a bit the power of the engine for a small problem that emerged on Day 7. They calculate that it will cost a tenth of a second, more or less."

Sainz also apparently did a fast-slow-fast stint with C3, did 1:17:955 and 1:17:851 on those.

Times are getting lower and closer together, but this is still testing don't forger, we don't know programs, fuel loads, setups, engine modes, updates in the pipeline.

Lando said that he could have found a few tenths of his time, so that he could bypass the time of the TR.

There is no way to answer that man.... fuel was probably low as in McLaren but engine mode...
What is certain is that there will be a lot of battles in midfield, it was never this close before... I also think there will be no clear lead team among midfield.

Mclaren still need to find a bit extra pace, however depending on the track layout they might be front midfield. best testing for the past 5 years for sure.
