Yea Sainz is super aggressive at the start and Lando can be extremely cautious.
I’m concerned about this turn 1 and first lap.

I’m expecting the worst and hoping for the best :lol:
Just a fan's point of view

Is it a good idea to use the Old Bargeboards and Front Wings today? Aren't they gonna be slower with them or have they found a trick?

Good luck to the start of the race. We need to be safe first and then if we get places that is also welcomed.

Regardless on what position we finish on the championship the team is making strides each year and I am sure if they continue like that we will leave both RP and Renault behind next year and hopefully find a loophole in the rules for 2022 to gain the upper hand.

I really wonder where Mclaren would have been if we had Mercedes Engines this year. The difference is huge from what I see.

6 places in one lap. Fantastic start from Carlos. Most impressive. He just emulated the lap of the gods from Senna in 1993 Donnington.

I don't think it matters what happens now. That was one of the best starts from a Mclaren car in these last 5 years.

I know that we won't hold that place for long since Mercedes and Red Bull are faster but we can finish in front of the others to gain the lead in 3rd place.

Those softs dont work well. I think we should do two pit stops and use only mediums.

Pace isn’t good right now, running in the high 1:23’s and people around in the mid 1:22’s...

I think the Softs died quickly.

Gasly is running on the same times than the medium runners on Softs though

I have a feeling that both Sainz and Norris battles at the start burnt their tyres.

I don't know what the Mclaren Engineers are seeing about the tyres but it's clear that the tyres are burnt.

I hope we’ll have better pace on Mediums. The guys are sitting ducks.

This is why they shouldn't let pay drivers race. Hopefully the damage on Norris is only minimal.
