McLaren MP4-26 Mercedes

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I found out it's from the azko noble FB page. Looks like an 08 car.

rate the MP4-26 from 1 to 10, with 1 being a very poor car and 10 a great car.


I give it a 6?

It won several races in a season that was otherwise dominated by one car. That makes it an 8 for me.

6 is too low.

8 for me. Was a good car, but unfortunately the RB7 was just too good.

Edit: I guess there could be an argument for 9. But for me it just wasn't good enough in quali this year.

6 wins, 1 pole, 497 points

8, It was the only car to challenge the RB7 and the only car to beat it more than once.

5, I think the initial concept of the car is a failure Mc Larens just got lucky to hit the sweet spot immediately after abandoning the 'octopus exhaust' design and adapted the RBR's concept but I think they will be more competitive if they manage to start their season with a correct direction
