Nah, just stay on the mediums and wait for a safety car.

[bang]

Let’s hope for a good start, Lando has been a bit hesitant so far this season

Lots of tears on Baku starts, usually!

Get it on, Bang a gong, get it on....

I would consider that an opening.

Agree. Particularly as it seems we're carrying more wing than others. This should help them retain temperature. Also we are slower on the straights so Softs may not be as effective for us as an attacking option. Stay out through the early safety car too, gaining positions.

Lando Norris:

Born in Bristol, his father is Adam Norris, a retired pensions manager, one of Bristol's richest people and 501st in the country.

So?

Sergio Perez is no longer only pay driver in Mclaren history.

P7 great result but we are behind the turpido !

Better to be safe behind the torpedo than be a moving target in front - might be able to pick up multiple positions that way!

Year hope he crash on max just to piss of helmut marko

That would be Wondeful...

racing isnt really a poor mans sport (in any category). because of that i would imagine the median wealth of their families are above average to non racing families. that doesnt mean that every driver with rich parents pays to drive. Lando gets paid by mclaren to drive. something like 1 million per year i believe. unless you can provide some proof otherwise.

Norris:
“It could maybe have gone a little better if I’d nailed the lap but I’m still happy with seventh. I think we maximised today overall and I’m pretty pleased with how it’s gone. It’s going to be a long one tomorrow though. The starting position doesn’t decide the whole race here like it does at some other tracks.”

I think we can be happy with yesterday... And we are stronger on race pace...

[mclaren111]

Where have our good top speeds gone ??

[Emag]

It is not as bad as it looks. I don't think Norris or Sainz got a tow during the whole of qualifying yesterday.

[charliesmithhd]

anyone got the onboard laps?

[geogate]

reading some sites saying Raikkonen disqualified from qualifying, so Sainz starts P9

Yes, Raikkonen starts from pitlane, his front wing was flexing out of range permited by rules, that means Sainz starts P9. Two McLarens start close up with one Ferrari in the middle

I hope they have a clean start, this could be a big chance for a solid haul of points and getting on top of that midfield.

I'm not sure you understand what a pay driver is, Lando earned his seat, as did Perez tbh, a person's wealth doesn't determine their driver status, by your logic Lewis Hamilton is also a pay driver since he the wealthiest guy on the grid
