If Negative Norris thinks it'll bring a 'reasonable step' they might be challenging RB with this upgrade package. :mrgreen:

In the meantime I'm hearing that Williams is also trying to get Newey back. It's not that I don't have faith in the current technical team as since yesterday they have proven they can be championship winners even without Newey and I know Zak Brown also shares that faith but on the other hand would it be bad to obtain something more?
Zak already confirmed it when sky asked that he is not pursuing Adrian. So unless Adrian comes knocking on their door, McLaren wont chase him.

Not to pile on but..... I'm glad that the team don't have the Ferrari approach of unlimited spending on shiny things. Often more is less, I have a feeling this would be the case with Adrian, the team is methodically putting things in place. In relative terms McLaren are well over a second closer to the front at Miami from 2023 to 2024. In the immortal words "We don't need another hero."

What has changed in the suspension, apart from the aerodynamic pads? Have the mounting points remained the same or have they changed?
Changed.
The aerodynamic pads have been changed, all mounting points are unchanged. To change the attachment points to the monocoque, you need to pass a crash test.
There's several minor changes including angles in the car thread.

The cladding shape ≠ mounting point change.

It is not just the cladding that has changed.

But the original point I made is that the suspension geometry would change to accommodate the airflow, and it has. Whether you agree that they are mounted differently or not, there are clear differences in the angles and shapes in the upper and lower points.

I only saw that the geometry of the arms themselves and the fairings had changed. But in my opinion, the attachment points to the monocoque have not changed.

Good luck to both drivers today. Let's get to the podium places and put yesterday's bad luck of Q3 behind. We have the fastest car and we have to give everything.

I am worried now if they have enough of the new parts to repair that. F*ck

Not sure who to blame. Alonso or Stroll? I don't think Hamilton did anything wrong here.
