Another Germany repeat and maybe with even more top contenders out and followers can reduce that gap right away. We also need to take under consideration that Renault engine and Mclaren hydraulics/gearbox are on the fragile side, so retirements and grid penalties are about to hit them.
That's why I said "realistically". I personally wouldn't mind if they lost out on 4th if it means that they get a headstart for 2020. I am not sure what goals the team has set for itself this year though. It is true that McLaren improved a lot this season compared to 2018, but they are not yet where they want to be. If sacrificing this 4th place this year means that they will be closer to the front in 2020, i'll take it.

I wonder if any of the drivers insure their body parts ?
Many high class athletes do.

Pugilism, not that type of boxing. ;)

Great for sharpening reflexes and reaction time. As long as you wear head gear.

McLaren is already looking forward to the next Belgian Grand Prix, the first date after the several-week summer break that has been made in Formula 1. The Woking team will try to continue improving and staying in that fourth position of builders that it has consolidated after A great first half of the season completed to date.
Waiting to see if McLaren will introduce aerodynamic developments in the MCL34 chassis, Renault works at the Viry-Châtillon factory in the third specification of its engine, a propeller that will have 15 more horsepower and will premiere at the Grand Prix of Belgium, presumably.

This improvement will mean that the French power unit will reach up to 975 real horsepower that McLaren will have available in one of the next two races of the Formula 1 calendar, although sources close to the team anticipate that only an MCL34 and an RS19 will mount the new power unit and will do so in Belgium, to avoid unnecessary penalties if the third specification does not grant the expected values.

“The improvement we wanted to achieve for 12 months in terms of the engine was 50 kW. We have achieved 40 and we intend to put another 10 throughout the season, ”says Cyril Abiteboul, CEO of Renault Sport Racing.

Yes they did, but I think they elaborated that it was under a series of conditions. I’m looking at the term “real power”.... Not sure what it implies.

They recorded values equivalent to 1000 hp. in qualifications under certain conditions. That article did not say that they have a mode guaranteeing 1000 hp. Many, instead of carefully reading the article, draw incorrect conclusions.
