What I meant by outdeveloping is that our upgrades are reducing the gap between us and the first three. Not sure if I used the right term. Is outdeveloping used only when we are in front?

U just forgot that the front can't improve as the teams behind cause they are already near the limits but for mclaren its just keep improving by bringing parts every GPDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 16:21What I meant by outdeveloping is that our upgrades are reducing the gap between us and the first three.

Yeah, some guy actually wrote a couple of weeks back how the MCL34 was useless and James Key won’t take anything from it for the 35 next year. It will be tossed into the trash bin. What I’m most happy about is McLaren let all the negativity sail over their heads, they didn’t big themselves up talking about this upgrade coming, that upgrade coming... They just quietly got on with it.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 16:10So to all the neighsayers. What happened? What went wrong for you? Wasn't Mclaren supposed to be fighting Williams for 9th place? What's this demon magic that made them beat Vettel and fight Verstappen head on while beating clearly that other Red Bull and destroying the midfield teams?
Well done Mclaren, good to see you back up at the sharp end. Looks to be a whole new 'lifestyle' at the team this year, leys hope it is a long term improvement.
We have to be careful with those statements... Yes, in France we have outperformed the expectations and got closer to the front... Nevertheless, there are other factors that may be playing in our favor that aren’t directly related to the car development path (in this case, track temperature)... It would seem that high track temperatures favor the car’s design and makes it easier to get the tires in the right window (as in Bahrain for example), while some teams may suffer the hotter the track is.Darth-Piekus wrote:In all seriousness now. Nobody after today can deny that a large step has been made and it is clear that we are outdeveloping the first three as we are reducing the gap.
Hope so, but those last few tenths will be very hard to find. But to fight for a few podiums next year? I would be happy with that.godlameroso wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 16:05Very happy for McLaren, this was pure genuine pace, they were over 2 seconds off the pace last year, and have closed that gap to within a second. If they keep this trajectory and keep chipping away they'll be back to being the McLaren we remember in the 90's and 2000's.
I fully agree, its great to see Mclaren mixing with the top 3godlameroso wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 16:05Very happy for McLaren, this was pure genuine pace, they were over 2 seconds off the pace last year, and have closed that gap to within a second.
