2026 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team

Qualifying is 7 in the morning in Greece and the race in 6. I might watch them If I wake up on time or might not. In any case, good luck to both of our drivers, may we continue our progress to pole and hopefully we can celebrate a pole tomorrow or be very close. For the race I wish the same. A victory from either of our drivers, an 1-2 would be preferable or at least be competitive.

They are behind... a lot. Let's hope for the best. Good luck everyone, and don't forget to set those alarms

Qualifying time. Lets hope we arent that far back as Mercedes have a tremendous advantage. Is this the advantage Mercedes was keeping from the rest? Not sure how 1 second can be easily covered.

My biological alarm clock woke me up.

Is there a team stream (textual) like in previous years?

[Darth-Piekus]

Damn. It looks like the two factory teams have a significant engine advantage over the customers. Lets see though how it continues. Im sure Mclaren is not slower than Audi so they have to show something more.

Come on guys, chill out. It's the first race, the team will bring a big upgrade when it is ready, it is a long season. It's just Q1. As we've seen, reliability and accidents will be an issue as well.

I'd love for the team to be at the pointy end but it's not catastrophic if they are not.

[Darth-Piekus]

It seems that we arent that far back. Piastri does a better job so far. Let's see what Q2 and Q3 brings to the table.

[FittingMechanics]

Norris and Piastri are using a single set in Q2, they've just exited with used softs from earlier. I'm glad the team is not overreacting and putting new softs on Norris.

[Darth-Piekus]

Q3 next and let's see how the final order is. So far it looks like Russell from Piastri with Antonelli, Norris and the two Ferraris close.

And here we go again...
