Martin Brundle suggests McLaren are now facing accusations from rival F1 teams that make absolutely ‘no sense’
“It makes no sense, it would just turn into steam instantly anyway. Pressures would career out of control and the carcass of the tyre can sweat sometimes go odd. Then you put them up to 100+ on the track.”
Ex-Aston Martin strategist and expert Bernie Collins found it equally as amusing, replying, “It’s quite funny actually.”
The water in the tyres was some straw-grasping crap that would have been hilarious if it was actually true. I don't even know how one can get around all the scrutiny that there is around tires to even attempt to do that, let alone managing to make it work as an advantage somehow. I think we are way past that though, I don't think RedBull has repeated the "accusation" since Brazil last year.
I dont want to be irritating but if you head to RB forum they only deal of how to stop us. Not how to bring updates. I think the RB mentality is contaminating fans also. I don't understand how they can not see that they lost 6 to 7 major figures in the technical departments and more low level engineers
It does feel like any hot conditions this season, and it'll be easy street for McLaren. Whatever they've done to achieve the temp stalling within the brake drum (thermal phase changing materials does sound most probable), it's going to take teams a good 2-3 seasons to catch on. I've no doubts this will be transferrable to the 2026 car, or with a year more experience and data, perhaps even improved upon. And just when we though silver bullets were a dead concept in these regulations, hats off to McLaren! Feels like a true cutting edge innovation.
And considering there are rumours of Mercedes building the best engines in the new regulations and the fact that our team has a saying on the design kind of like a semi factory status you can expect that success to continue and the titles to keep coming.
In the meantime I can imagine Christian Horner dressed like Dracula with a book of spells on his hand labeled Dirt Magic looking Mclaren through the palantir. Maybe Im gonna make it into a picture with photoshop.

Please do.
I don’t know about photoshop, but ChatGPT spewed out this gem :
Anyway. I have something of my own even better. Last picture I promise. Christian Horner dressed like Dracula trying to curse Mclaren with Dirt Magic and I intended to have Max dressed like Grima looking that Mclaren with a hateful glare but it seems that his glare went straight to his own team.
