I need to clarify something. Mclaren is along with Ferrari the most successive team in F1. They do not belong in the midfield. They are temporarely in the midfield due to bad seasons in the past. These midfield teams are competing with Mclaren because Mclaren allowed it with their poor performance. From the names I hear they are rebuilding a powerful team that might repeat in the distant future the 1988 and 1998 dominations. We have to be patient.

McLaren is precisely where it deserves to be as they've not done a good enough job for many years now. Hopefully the restructuring at McLaren will lead to improved results in the next couple of seasons. It looks like the car is at least decent and something they can develop rapidly. While James Key probably hasn't had any involvement in the design of this seasons car, I'm sure he'll be a fresh set of eyes that will push the development forward. McLaren probably suffered from the road car business start up, but that's no bad thing really long term.

I'll be happy if we see McLaren able to out develop teams in the midfield over the course of the season and maybe get a podium if they get a lucky break (rain etc). Not that bothered about where they qualify in this race, it's always a bit of a strange track.

Allow me friend to disagree. They themselves caused that drop in performance and ended up there. It doesn't mean that they team deserves to be there. The team was and is always one of the most successful teams in F1. It's up to them to return where they should be.

Mclaren are exactly where I've been saying they were aiming for all winter - middle of the midfield pack and aiming to be at the front of it come Summer break, whilst that might have upset those that have hyped themselves up over Winter, they're bang on target.

9th place is not middle of the midfield pack

Let's wait for a day or two before we start fighting who was right.

First of all nobody bas announced where they were aiming. Secondly you might want to hold that thought since we want to see what the car can do without problems hampering it. Thirdly you should not make quick assumptions yet cause you might be forced to take them back.

With all seriousness some of you here claim to be fans of Mclaren but you are acting like you aren't.

Are they 9th place though? If that's the case, why is Carlos putting out that he'll be aiming for a top 10 in qualy? If you're 9th, the best you can realistically hope for, with a large chunk of luck, is to make it to Q2.

these are just words, Alonso in 2018 was also often going to fight for the top 10.
