2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[charliesmithhd]

While DR was racing CS one of the SkyF1 team confirmed with authority that Renault were running less downforce than McLaren. Not sure whether that info was known before the race or was passed onto the team during the battle. Anyway, was great to see that with less downforce and DRS, and possibly the best overtaker, that the Renault still couldn't get past McLaren.

Very happy Sky showed most of that battle for extended periods in the closing stages of the race.

Eh. I disagree. Daniel's move is a dive-bomb. It's just that his RBR were so good on braking that it helped him get away with that move so often.

Something more important than that is there are no slow corners after the straights so braking zones are shorter

This week will be particularly hot in western Europe, especially until thrusday, in my area around 37-40 degrees are expected. Just imagine the race with these conditions.

Did you watch the race? There was a decent amount of overtaking and battles. DR could have made a move stick if he had more confidence in his car. But my point is that the McLaren was better, which is great. I honestly thought Renault would be ahead of McLaren at this point.

Yeah, they seem to be trying to be as low-key as possible

Does anybody have some information about potential upgrades in the upcoming races? I know they tried a couple of floor variants in Silverstone, and they changed the bargeboards. We also haven't seen the rumored new suspension since France in FP2. Will they finally finalize the floor and the new suspension in the next races?

A lot of time is being spent focusing on front end problems and since Hungary is a track which will accentuate them I expect the POU to arrive by then if not next week. The floor upgrade from what I read wasn't fully delivered yet too.

Cool stuff.

Ok then

what do they mean by " the battery clipping" ?

Running out of charge.

We are working on improving the car at every weekend and every session is crucial to that development, so I’ll be looking to hit the ground running from FP1 onwards

Lando does hint at it.
