Who supply our batteries ?

Don't they come from Mercedes as part of the overall PU package?

Pistri is like 10 times better driver than Norris, last year was rigged.

Goran we are now past that. Dont bring up driver comparisons here. Keep that for the other forums. And please no race discrimination. Not every english person is as you described.

After all the days where the driver made the difference died with Senna. Today the car does 80-85% of the work. Driver X wont perform better than driver Y if driver Y has better set up or understands the rules better.

Mclaren is doing a good job despite the PU issues. I'm really interested in how much they can bring to the car for Miami. All of the team have now said they are confident they can win races this year. It could be a new championship in Miami. We can't yet rule out L2NDO.

Did you come up with L2NDO? Pretty good.

Yeah, I think that the pace is quite decent from them, fully new regulations, not a works team, not pushing upgrades too fast. It just seems the team has a plan and it is going through it.

Hoping it makes for an interesting year, it would be good to have other teams catch up as well.

Hopefully we wont wake up tomorrow to hear reliability problems again. I want a normal weekend for the team, a good result (beating up the Ferraris at least) and to build up from that.

I think anyone not English and not blind agrees whit me, if you asked 10 not McLaren fans about last year , 9 out of 10 will say 6 races before end McLaren sabotaged Piastri in favor of Norris.

U mean if u asked some kid or someone who enjoyes Kardashians bit too much?

Then yeah, the would get similar opinion to yours.

I see in the Ferrari thread, there is some talk/hope of Ferrari getting engine development token due to the 2% rule. I'm wondering how this is judged where Ferrari have made the design choice to use a smaller turbo, they clearly get an advantage from that, but lose peak power. How is that going to be determined?

Yeah boys! Finally happy to show how good our starts are.

[Szabi1112]

Hmm we seem to be the 2nd fastest team

Every pu that is behind is due some kind of design choice...
