I don't buy it โ I'm pretty sure McLaren know what temperature their tyres are.clarkiesyeah wrote:Here are Alguersuaris thoughts on "Baffling Button":
He has said he is confused about what is going wrong, but I believe one of the problems is that he is misinterpreting the problems he is having with the tyres. At the Spanish Grand Prix, he said over the team radio that he had problems getting the tyres to warm-up, especially on the hard compound. The cars are sliding more this year because some aerodynamic aids have been banned. And in fact, he was misinterpreting the feeling - he was actually suffering from tyre over-heating.
So all the changes McLaren made for Saturday were aimed at curing the wrong problem - and made the problem they had worse.
I'm not sure i'm buying that..
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen โย he simply won't be able to drive it!clarkiesyeah wrote:Button to copy Hamiltons setup for Valencia...

This will be interesting to see. It shows Sam Michael's PR cover story was just that. They are still as lost as they have been for the past three races.
Well the whole thing with that article above is that they were changing the way they went about practice in terms of using both cars to come provide an overall or shared setup as the weekend progresses.clarkiesyeah wrote:The saga continues. Admittedly, things were a lot closer all weekend twixt the two mclaren boys. Yet again, in Q3, Lewis drags an extra couple of tenths out of the car. In the press conference he mentioned making some last minute setup "guesses" which just happened to be in the right direction. Have Lewis and his engineer got a setup they are keeping secret until the last minute? Or is this just the natural order of things?
I think it is quite possible of Hamilton hiding his setup.clarkiesyeah wrote:The saga continues. Admittedly, things were a lot closer all weekend twixt the two mclaren boys.
