I also feel having to do a banker lap on a set of used softs may not be ideal. Possibly, they would have more confidence if the first run was also on fresh rubber.... I'm just speculating though.
True, but at least this car is still kind of part of his legacy. He and Stoffel did so much work in the birth of this car, with all the testing during FP sessions.
Pretty much? Absolutely on merit!

Purely because it would mean someone is getting closer to the top 3 and hopefully give them a hard time like RBR do to Ferrari and Merc. I have more faith in Renault than I do McLaren at the moment and I like their drivers better. Their car looks cool too.Ground Effect wrote: ↑22 Mar 2019, 10:44I'm really weary of Renault, a closer look at their performance last weekend shows they didn't have an entirely clean qualifying, Nico at least. He kept up quite well with KMag for quite a while in the race. They may be stronger in Bahrain.
My support for McLaren has been worn away down to almost having a "soft spot" for them. No passion like in the Hakkinen/DC/Kimi/Montoya/Hamilton/Button/Alonso days.
How can one support a team that keeps making terrible decisions. This year will show if sacking Honda was another terrible decision. Any bets that Honda might actually be decent this year?
Just something bloody change please!
Sorry that went into a bit of a rant.
I said playing devils advocate. Maybe you don't know what that means?RonDennis wrote: ↑30 Mar 2019, 19:28McG wrote: ↑30 Mar 2019, 18:31Playing devils advocate again...

Look at this guy. Always trying to find something negative. Kimi is behind Sainz isn’t he. You coups also say that the car could have been on P5 with Alonso. It simply makes no sense. But looking at your last messages, you started to feel more for Renault right? How about you keep posting in their topic.
