2025 McLaren F1 Team

When was the last time we topped a day of testing?

2013, 2018

I am fairly certain Lando topped one of the Barcelona testing sessions back in 2022 as well. So yeah ... history has not been kind to McLarens which lead a pre season testing day

Not relevant because we have enough sponsors now

Lando is looking to push the car a bit more over the next few days.

“ A good, fun day”

Definitely the first time Lando’s ever been able to say that after a day testing

Unfortunately it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow. Precipitation likelihood has fallen to 35%, but I still think we might get a drizzle at the very least which may take away 2 hours of very representative running at the end of the day tomorrow.

That front end is really responsive. Particularly apparent on T4, T8 and the last corner. They might not end up being the fastest come Austrlia, but at least the car (so far) doesn't seem to have a jarring weakness. I remember for a long time while McLaren was on the up from the midfield, the main weakness to the top teams always was front-end reactivity.

This doesn't look sluggish at all on rotation. Especially considering that the car was (probably) fueled for at least 1/3 of a race here.

On Teds notebook Zak said that there is some stuff on the Mclaren that hasn’t been totally noticed yet (innovation wise)…..

Thanks for sharing.
Man how I have missed these onboard push laps!

That lap time seems to come ridiculously easy. Front end is so responsive you see NOR nearly turn in a couple of times too soon. Rear stable too. Seems last years times are going to be destroyed by more than 3/4s at times
