McLaren MCL34

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Here is Norris' Q3 lap. Car look very stable. Just a minor understeer in the last corner.

Looks like a lot of time left on the table to me. Car does look quite stable. Makes me wonder what Carlos could have wrung out of it had he not been compromised in Q1.

11 and 12 could have been a tenth or two faster, enough to slot behind Grosjean, but not bad for a rookie. I hope he can score a point, the starts are brutal. With luck he may jump the a Haas or two.

Wonderful photo to see how aggressively the air is split and directed to the two undercuts!
