Besides Miami, have we seen the upgraded McLaren in hot conditions? I guess Miami was a good testbut that track is kind of an outlier, so I'm curious to see how that car goes on a hot track.
Miami was not just quite warm, but also was supposed to expose Mclaren's previous biggest weakness - slow corners.
The fact that they excelled there was most of the evidence we needed to assume they're gonna be competitive everywhere, not that all the race weekends since haven't stacked that evidence quite well.
This weekend will demonstrate a lot. Mclaren themselves dont understand why their update was as successful as it was, so it's possible a certain combination of characteristics and conditions will dampen them, but I definitely wouldn't be putting money on it at this point.
