MP4-30 was just 0.3 and 0.6 away from Ferrari which is best of the rest on this non power unit lap. =D>
Good times coming soon !

Isn't Montecarlo a specially short circuit? We have to take into account that.

Nonetheless, the car seems constantly progressing.

Well the Renault cars had the best improvement so far. And let's wait for saturday to make better conclusions.

That's in a rain hit session, and Ferrari were 4th and 7th in the session previous.

I'm not sure how useful the comparisons of gaps are at different tracks unless they are expressed in % terms.

And I think the only useful comparison is Mclaren to fastest time, teams move up and down the pecking order based on how well the characteristics of the car suit the track. So the best objective standard is to compare to the fastest car IMO.

I still think Ferrari "best of rest" here,and i was just tryin to point out that Mclaren seem to have made yet another big step here,and more important that car look really nice and planted from those Alonso onboard cameras.

What`s Bradley Walsh doing in the Mclaren

This has probably been covered before but why do Mclaren have their wing mirrors so high? Surely that`s not the optimum height for the driver or car...
I reckon a new engine cover should arrive in the next few races.

Is this not just a reflection making the s duct look larger than it is? I've not heard any news about an update on the s duct

[Jef Patat]

It is, it's no different. It's just a dead spot in the reflection causing it to be in a shadow making it look huge.

Asymetric refrigeration

What do they have on the left sidepod? Is it the engine radiator?

[Jef Patat]

They've also run without, see last page.

Yes, I know. That's why I am asking abput what's on that side of the sidepod.

It was chilly today in Monaco, so I think it can be interesting to know what they were trying to cool

MGU-K should be in that side.

Great picture showing the coke bottle region of the McLaren. That is some ridiculously tight packaging going on there.

Looks beautiful, I just hope it doesn't go to history as one of those failed revolutionary concepts.
