I don't know on that, although with turning vanes and forward bargeboard pieces you'd assume they'd go on both cars as they'd be easy to make together. Front and rear wings, not sure. They weren't even prepping to drive them overnight to testing so they must still not be out of composites/finishing yet.

what was Carlos's last run like? Lap times, tyres and an average would be good!!

[ALO_Power]

I think I saw many 21-22s with the C2?

Traffic towards the end, wouldn't call it a drop off. So a very decent run

can we find the best sectors times from last year test for mclaren ?...i see this year very very strong 1st sector..same level with top car if not better ..and very very good 2st sector with very good speed traps numbers ...i keep that from this test ...oz 1 sector is quit similar with barcelona ..high brake zone s curve an high speed flat out corner...i think china and bachrain show us the real picture for the start of the season...oz is quit uniqe ..with public roads ..2 others are modern tracks and there is many others similars ...if team can find 0.2- 0.3 more for oz with little luck maybe can be on podium ...accidents safety car and dnf's is usual there i wish to avoid thats ..at the end i belive we are 0.4-0.5 back from ferrari and mercedes ..probably red bull is on the half of this ..

He's Back Out

If you think we are only 0.5s off Ferrari then you’re very much mistaken. Around 1 to 1.2 sec is far more realistic. Race sims and sector times both show that to be closer to the truth

Don’t get me wrong that is still totally awesome as there is loads of potential clearly to unlock. We are in a way better position then many a year. Getting back towards where we need to be

I think we're at least 1 sec behind the top teams....

Anyone know what tyre Sainz is currently on, his pace looks really good.

That's mighty pace then. Currently lapping consistently in the high 21's, low 22's.

Edit: now in the low 21's.

Last few laps have been mid 21s, and now a 21.1. Very decent pace!

[Emag]

I agree. Seems like they are showing a little more pace on the last day. Last week their long-runs were in 1.25's. This week they were on high 1.22's, and now they are consistently doing mid 1.21's. Encouraging pace.

[Dipesh1995]

Very encouraging pace by McLaren.
