2025 McLaren F1 Team

[Emag]

Lec is running same sim by the looks of it but he started a bit later, he is around 35.5 will be interesting comparison once both finish

Leclercs lap 13 was a 35.8

Seems like he is hitting deg now, because the next lap was a 36.0 and the next one after that a 35.9

Fastest lap he had was 35.4

So, it's looking like a really really competitive first stint for Lando, assuming equal fuel loads.

Not sure if it was deg, it was slightly raining at that time. NOR had his times affected as well.

Time to keep an eye out on Leclerc's C2 laptimes now. Quite comparable run plan with Lando.

Lando was low-mid 34's for most of the stint (mostly low, close to 34.1s as far as I was seeing).

[Seerix]

Lando probably had some dirty air from Lec and was doing ~34.6 behind him, now in clean air 34.3s

Now onto third stint.

Finally racking up some serious mileage. I think everything looks under control.

Traffic behind Bor and Lec soon

[Emag]

I guess its not comparable with Leclerc then because Leclerc is barely breaking the 35s so far in his second stint.

But he might be having some slow first laps, lets see how the entire stint will look.

What will you say if Lando does 57 laps total?

It could be that Ferrari is on lower engine modes but I'd say that McLaren has good pace.

Lec also got traffic initially behind the sauber

[Seerix]

the traffic was not that bad, neither were stuck for multiple laps
edit: Lando 32.5 nice

Looks like a great race sim.

Traffic wasnt a relevant factor for leclerc, I was following the trackmap. Based on this racerun so far, Lando seems to be about 0.3-0.4s faster. I would be really surprised if that turns out to be the actual gap though.

Quite competitive run nonetheless for Lando. I think Mercedes with Antonelli tried to replicate the same run as Merc and Ferrari, but they are a good chunk behind based on laptimes.

[BosF1]

The MCL39 looks quite easy to drive to be honest. Balance looking neutral, traction looks good. And the laptimes are really good compared to last year!
