One Red Bull out of the way...

Pierre Gasly will start the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from the pit lane after failing to stop at the weigh bridge during second practice.
Pity it's not Mad Max...I guess it’s all relative to how the rest of the midfield develop. Of all the other teams, I think Renault is the one who could/will make the biggest jump in performance with their resources.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 07:00Where do you think the car stands at this point?

4th fastest. Sainz said after FP he was nowhere near comfortable with the car; so if they can be P7 in that situation then it bodes well for the race. Depends on the size of upgrade relative to others. They might clear the midfield or maintain their competitiveness.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 07:00Where do you think the car stands at this point?

Maybe something minuscule here & there. He'll probably be exploring concepts and advising on the Mcl35, but I think the team and his' major focus would be on 2021 regs.Mansell89 wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 08:35I guess it’s all relative to how the rest of the midfield develop.

I just hope McLaren continue on the right path- they certainly addressed many of last years issues.
Will James Key have a hand in any of the later season updates or will he be solely dealing with the 2020 car?
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/arti ... B2u47.html“I think that we cannot be taking any conclusions from this first [representative] session because I wasn’t very comfortable with the car,” said Sainz, “not comfortable at all with the warm-up of the tyres and I think some people were doing their lap times at the beginning of the session when it was very dirty. We did it a bit more towards the end when the track was cleaner. So not really a conclusion to take. We might be sixth, seventh or we might be sixteenth.”
“I didn’t feel quick at all,” he said. “I was quite surprised to see [that] lap time, because honestly, in the car, it felt quite stressful not being able to warm up the rear tyres, struggling in pretty much every braking zone, every corner entry and yeah, a lot of work to do for tomorrow.
“I prefer to guide myself more by feeling than by lap time and at the moment, the feeling is still not there yet and we need to work a lot.”
On the team stream, they said Lando's time is much better than it looks, cause he set it pretty early in the session, track evolution must be strong. That said, the STR's are looking very good, especially Albon.
Yes the qualy gonna be a war all the midfield teams seems a lot closer even Q2 will be toughGround Effect wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 12:47On the team stream, they said Lando's time is much better than it looks, cause he set it pretty early in the session, track evolution must be strong.
