2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[RonDennis]

McLaren has been able to start work on its next Formula 1 car much earlier in 2019 than in recent seasons.

The team has completed a comprehensive restructuring following the arrival of team boss Andreas Seidl and technical director James Key, and established itself in a comfortable fourth in the constructors' championship at present.

Seidl said McLaren saw no reason for Key to radically rethink its design concept for the first of its cars he is overseeing, but thinks a big gain is possible from how far ahead the team has got with its 2020 design.

"I would say for us that next year will be an evolution rather than a revolution," explained Seidl.

Autosport also said that the McLaren was a crap chassis and that they should be happy if they were beating Williams.

McLaren

2019 summer break total: 82
2018 summer total: 52
Difference: +30 points

It gives us so much joy to be writing about McLaren this high up the page. Still a way to go yet but the fact they have the best positive points difference after Mercedes speaks volumes.

They have got their house in order both on and off the track with the highly-rated team principal Andreas Seidl guiding two fantastic drivers in Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris. The chaos that came with previous regimes and drivers has made way for a calmer, collective effort and McLaren are reaping some early rewards.

After just eight points in the first three races of the season, McLaren have really found their stride since their first double points finish in Baku. Not only do they have the car to punish their midfield rivals when they have odd days, but they have also developed a knack of picking up the pieces chucked down from above.

In the last seven races, one McLaren car has been in the top six on six occasions and Sainz finished the first half of the season very strong with back-to-back P5 finishes.

Having already cleared last season’s points total of 62 points, the next step now is get one over on the works team Renault by staying ahead of them and seeing off any other potential rivals for the ‘best of the rest’, Formula 1.5, ‘B’ World Championship.

Looking forward to the rest of the season...

Renault has already caught up with Mercedes in terms of engine power and lags behind only Ferrari. The French will bring the third specification of the power plant to Belgium, which should give them another 10 hp.

McLaren’s “aging” wind tunnel – used for the last decade in a partnership with Toyota in Cologne, Germany – will soon be replaced by a bespoke facility in McLaren’s Woking headquarters. Technical Director James Key explained why McLaren are taking the step to build a new facility, and why it’s more important now than ever to have their own.

Thanks, I’ve seen the RBR thread that Honda will bring 25hp and by comparison Ferrari with all the power, another 20hp from some reports. Obviously, we don’t know yet how reliable these reports are, but if so, that’s really impressive numbers.

The real source is Cyril mouth . It's his never ending PR. This site copy and paste what Cyril said a few weeks ago . And let be honest when was the last time anything that Cyril said was true? We heard their new chassis in the French hp brought 5 tenths but aren't they still struggling. It's all Renault PR, just to show Redbull that, they don't miss them.

Pretty sure Cyril knows that RBR can figure that all out on their own. Also Renault were happy to be rid of RBR. RBR was a PR nightmare for Renault. What you're suggesting is a little childish.

Only one more season with these regulations. There is no point to doing a revolution IMO. Just improve the existing concept, and then focus on the all-new 2021 package.

McLaren bring a completely new concept of car in the final year of a set of regulations? That would never happen now would it....

If you look in Austria, the McLaren was out dragged by Mercedes 1.st lap. Typically free load mode. Otherwise they are level.

I disagree. Renault has been talking big and not delivering. Let's look at Renault v Honda for example. You really think RBR was bad PR Renault? Renault is bad PR for Renault.

To some extent, but even the 4 th best engine in F1 is still only one of 4 engines in F1.
