Insightful input as always. I think you're in the wrong place.

I don't think they managed to nail the upgrade set up due to Friday's problems. I think the car is much faster than what they show. I am not accepting that Alfa Romeo and Alpine who were behind us suddenly gained a huge amount of time with one floor for the Alfa and 3 parts for Alpine while Mclaren brought 10 upgrades.

Pace is similar to an Aston running with used softs :/

Perhaps you are the one in charge in this forum and you have to say what we forum members have or do not have to talk about

Alfa have been faster all season, Alpine have shown promise too. Better start accepting it, this is where we are.

Yeah unfortunately its a car good enough to be 6th-7th fastest on an average day, and 4th fastest on a good day. But that's about it.

What are you talking about. Apart from the first race we have been in front of both Alfa and Alpine in every single one. We even got a podium and beat Mercedes in Imola. The results speak for themselves.

Talk then, all you seem to do is spout negative abuse. Comes across as trolling.

Race pace just isn’t there…. OCO is nearly 0.5s a lap quicker
True, but currently Norris is beating both haas cars, Alonso and zhou, all of which are significantly quicker

Beating cars and being faster than them are two different things.

Again true, but it speaks to Norris skill and McLarens strategy

Instead of bickering about definitions or just being a complete drain on the entire forum , let’s enjoy the Max russel fight

Do you think if Mclaren wasn't fast would they have been in front with just only Norris? Don't lie to yourselves and stop overestimating the opposition. I don't know what they did with the 10 upgrades but clearly the opposition surpassed us as they haven't optimised it.

On another note fantastic Rusell.

After today Alpine will be leading 4-2, and 3-3 with Alfa. They are faster.

Gap to OCO has stabilised and he’s keeping TSU at bay. Seems he’s brought the tyre in extremely carefully
