Petrobras looking to terminate early their sponsorship. Surely McLaren to go back to/continue to use BP/Castrol fuel and oil?

They never switched, the plan was to switch this year, but they announced before the start of the season it would be delayed.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

I'm surprised it took this long. As soon as Bolsonaro came into office he spoke about cutting government spending and specifically mentioning the state company Petrobras. I thought that this would have happened less than a month after he came into power.

It was always a shaky deal in my mind... It’s a bit disappointing. Which other Technical partner could they possibly find now?

With the works Renault team still somewhat on the
back foot, I wouldn't be surprised if Castrol wants a big sticker on the Mclaren

According to the article the team were using their transmission oil....

Did they not over the last year sign a longer term deal with Renault?

Carlos on Spain performance:
I was struggling with the rear of the car in the last sector for the first stint of the race, and I had to defend from Daniel Ricciardo. I just didn’t have the same feeling I had on Friday

So Ivan retweeted this article: https://extraconfidencial.com/noticias/ ... do-alonso/ .

Using Google translate:

"It would be expected that this feature would have pushed them on the Montmeló track , but this was not the case due to misunderstandings with the setup. The adjustments of each circuit were poorly calculated and both drivers complained about a lack of general performance, already solved."

"This they know in McLaren because in the two days of testing after the Grand Prix of Spain , without pressure, without hurry, without limitations of time on the track, they managed to reduce the records in a second. The car is better than it looks; What they lack is knowledge and development of what they have built."
Interesting article... But being a Spanish outlet, it’s not surprising that they’re being positive, but I hope they are with good reason and a good performance is on the cards for Monaco.
I wonder if Key will fully be focused on the 2020 car, while Fry, Stella and some of the design team concentrate on updates for the 2019 car.
I don’t know if they have inside information, but it would make sense for the team to have gotten the setup wrong with the amount of updates they brought to Barcelona and no real time to understand them on track... It would be interesting to have had sector times from Barcelona to compare C2 and C3 performance in the last sector.

Monaco will be an interesting one if the update actually helps the team improve in slow corners, since the apparent speed in the straights that they have showed in the last few races won’t be a factor there.

Good to consider that the guy that wrote that article is very knowledgeable and reputed in the F1 circles here in Spain.

In my opinion, his assessments have always been fair and objective.
