So what’s people guesses on how much pace this upgrade brought McLaren on race pace? Must be one of the most biggest upgrades in many many years of F1

Toto Wolf said it was 1 second. That's more or less correct to my eye.

McLaren just showed the best non-Red Bull race pace we've seen all season.
Which is incredible and at the same time pathetic for the traditional big teams, what a piss poor job they've done.

McLaren is a big team, people just forgot, because they've been so bad for so long...
Their budgets were near the RB, Ferrari, Mercedes trio these past years.

I'm thinking....

2024
Lando to RBR, and Lewis comes home to McL to retire.

Lando would be mad to move to RBR, frankly.

Lewis is either at Merc or retired. I don't see why he'd go to McLaren nor why would want to replace a young gun with a veteran.

Mad to go to a winning team? Saying such things is madness...

Now I'm curious if the third part of the big upgrade package will make them even faster in Hungary.

A frightening thought

Interestingly, I’m just watching an interview with Stella, he say’s the downforce levels of the upgrade correlated with expectations, but the lap time gain was greater than expected, a surprise to them too

There may have been a benefit from the new tires, which would have been difficult to predict.

Norris referred to that statement as complete nonsense, said it was more among the lines of 2-3 tenths.

What happened between these two ?

[organic]

What happened between these two ?

I think he actually says "don't squeeze me like that Carlos". In the race Carlos squeezed Gasly into copse. I don't think it was as bad as Gasly received it, but it is a particularly risky corner.

Here's the incident, with some angry radio from Gasly some time after

[AR3-GP]

What happened between these two ?

Into Copse some time after the SC restart. Sainz pushed Gasly to the edge of the track on the outside so Gasly backed out before Copse.

It looked like Sainz "intimidated" him into backing out

Not sure what the issue is tbh, gap was there and he took it with some hard and fair racing.

Mad to go to Max's team. Any driver going to Red Bull at the moment is going in to a number 2 seat. Why would Lando do that? Lando isn't interested in playing second fiddle to Max.

McLaren so far, has amazing car. Imagine that they are in the final stage use the hard compound and at the last lap, Lando is not to far from Verstappen, which was using soft tyre
