These crashes couldn't have been at a worse time tbfh, the last one delayed parts to match those nose in favour of replacement parts, fridays delayed testing so they had to run the nose on Norris just to get more data and now the factory has to churn out more replacement parts right when they're critical to get the matching parts out for the nose.
I think it's gonna be a case of run the nose as it is and accept the performance deficit for the next few races.

Really you think that's what that is ? He obviously made a BIG mistake,,, not sure howthat equates to maturity...

On the possitive side, they got data from Norris.

Does that mean the entire upgrade won’t be ready for Germany?
Or maybe just for one car.

Yes. I saw that way because, it seems he try to over smart him self and in turns shows lack of maturity....

Even Grojan did not hit the wall :D

Do you have any "shareable" information regarding the parts that complement the new nose (without putting you in an awkward situation of course)? If I were to guess, I would say bargeboards and maybe floor + diffuser. But I doubt they can have all of these ready so soon since the parts I mentioned pretty much cover the whole aerodynamic side of the car. Probably bargeboards might come first since they seem the easiest to produce.

But if the other parts are not aero related, then the next best guess I have is front suspension. Now that doesn't seem like much of a challenge in terms of production (at least to an outsider like me), but if it is indeed a front suspension, I am guessing they are not yet sure about what the impact will be on the car mechanically, so they can't bring it forward yet?

These are all just guesses though. Would be nice to know what they have planned.

Can the upgrades make a difference once combined with the new nose?

To be fair, it did feel to me like he had a rush of blood to the head relating to his desire not to lose positions!

But it happens to the best of them, even Hamilton has got a few penalties this year for events he could have avoided.

I'd be more concerned if he didn't have that desire than if he crashed because of it, but he held his hands up and accepted responsibility and he is generally a very smart racer.

Mercedes are where they are because they question themselves and push themselves even when they are winning everything. They are so self critical and willing to improve in every single area. They do not normalize anything saying "oh these things happen" .

I am a huge fan of this team for 25 years now and it pains me to see the kind of unforced erors that have happened in the last couple of races. When the midfield is like minefield and the team is pushing like crazy to bring upgrades alongside developing next year's challenger, you do not bin the car three times in 2 race wewkends like Sainz did. In Mugello he got overzealous with Stroll and put his nose where it didn't belong and got spun around. Then he stuffed the car in FP1 which required replacement of complete rear end. In the race he had a brain fade and went straight in to the wall.

As Philipm mentioned above the team is burning the midnight oil to produce parts and these crashes have proved to be very costly. Mclaren are not at Mercedes, Ferrari and Redbull levels when it comes to production capacity and infrastructure, at least not yet. Drivers cannot be binning it especially in the manner in which Sainz did. He is a very good driver and he owned up but he cost the team a big chunk of points and a massive parts bill.

Just ask yourself. If the upgrades CAN'T make a difference why spend so many man-hours to design them, produce them and race them?

Maybe WE need to have a chat with Ricciardo 🤔😂
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
