2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[Macklaren]

So NOR won the qualy battle against SAI, not bad for the rookie ....

NOR winning the quali battle, SAI handily winning the points battle...will be good for team dynamics and harmony. Just watching out for ALO still lurking in back of the garage though lol, esp. after his comments on Sky about 2021.

wrong ... he keeps his option open, due to the big rule change in 2021 it could be A OPTION.... but he never said he is looking to return ....

if you quote something, then quote it correctly and not YOUR interpretation

I'm not sure what you are going on about...I said "looking" to return, which is pretty much the same as keeping an option open.

Here is the text of what he said, people can draw their own conclusions...
"We will keep it open in the future, maybe Formula One in 2021, maybe hyper car in the WEC [World Endurance Championship.]

'I think in 2021 that is the reason why I keep open the possibilities. Maybe things mix up with the new rules so let's see if an opportunity comes.'"

this sounds in my view like he is definatly coming back at 2021.... which he isn't
looking for = i am negiotiating with teams to return
I keep open the possibilities = keeping his option open

you made it sound like a FACT, which it isn't thats why i wrote, IF you quote, quote it right, so these misunderstandings won't happen

Yep, Sainz is faster though. He was faster the whole time in Quali and made a mistake in the first Sector in the final lap. Think all the bcking up to start that last lap ...he ended up with cold tire in that first sector ...

Sainz's setup is using less wing, I noticed his top speed in the straights was 4 KPH faster.

new PU at Carlos

[chrisgr]

I hate those hard tyres....

[michl420]

The Q2 rule forced us to not use the medium tire in the race which is the best race tire. Perez will be a Problem.

MacLaren, took the most out of what you can take, BRAVO !!!

That isn't gonna make a differences in quali. Norris is limited to the number of times he can crack the PU's whip but Q3 will not be one of them.

[Ground Effect]

Q2 tyre rule punishes the midfield drivers who make it into Q3. It’s just not an efficient rule.

[TAG]

Life, kids, and traveling for work kept me from actively following the sport from the late 90s into the mid 2000s. I started following once again when Hamilton came into McLaren for the 2007 season. Lando Norris is the first McLaren driven that's gotten me excited since. He's a complete package tremendously smart racer and the guy who'll get my full support once Hamilton retires.

I love watching his racecraft.
