Could McLaren Bring this livery back for the Brazilian GP?
For people that might have gone through this process previously, or anyone that can help.
I have been invited to go to the Mclaren technology centre from 9am to 5pm, tomorrow. The day will consist of (according to thier email) technical interview, group exercise and technical task. (The technical part sounds crazy, mainly because idk what this will consist of)
This is for a apprentice electronic systems role. Ngl iam shitting it lol, so any insight on the day would definitely help, if anyone knows anything 🥲.
Cheers!
It can be anything, but what's most important? Upgrades or driver priority or getting to know their performance on Mediums?
I think we should be able to win at least half of the races we have left, unless strange things happen with a certain driver... However, I think another small update could give us that edge we need on paper to be better than Ferrari without taking any risks. Is there already a word on whether there will be a final package of updates?
Were lando and Oscar running the same spec car this weekend?
Been unable to find anything that says either way for the Mexico GP.
Forget about the WDC, if it happens it happens. But the constructors is what we have been tracking down all this year. When we finally overtook red bull in Baku and ended their dominance of the WCC lead over the last 3 years, title glory looked so promising. But alas our biggest rivals in red have now just decided to start absolutely cooking and might derail our hopes. Don't get me wrong, its amazing that we have Ferrari vs Mclaren again, it is F1 heritage, but we wanna see Mclaren come out on top hey. What do you guys reckon our chances are going into the final 4 races? What needs to happen for this to go our way.
Next year if not this year.
Last year Lando thought the car wouldn’t suit the track very well and comfortably finished 2nd behind Verstappen.
With that Red Bull not looking as strong as last year, do you think he has a shot?
Lando took the blows from Max, here in Mexico, In Austin last week & in Austria as well, and everytime he came off the worst of it.
Today Lando could have realistically fought for the win, but Max overtook him off the track, took track position ahead of him, cost them both places to Charles and then took Lando 13 seconds off the lead by the time he pitted himself. Lando at the end finished 4.7s off the lead, so if he has track position over Max like he deserved to, he could have chased down Sainz and possibly won. Let's say Max finishes 4th, Lando finishes 1st, would have been a 13 point swing instead of 10 point swing.
In Austin Max pushed him completely wide on turn 9 and at the start, cost them both positions to Leclerc and Sainz in Austin and then he kept 3rd place ahead of Lando in Austin. In an alternate scenario where Lando gets past for atleast 3rd that could have been 3 points in Lando's favor rather than losing 2 points to Max.
In Austria Lando was fighting for the win, and he could have won but Max was moving in the braking Zones every single time, and that eventually led to the crash, causing Lando to DNF and Max still finishing 5th and gaining 10 points on Lando, rather than potentially losing 7-8 points instead.
All in All, Max's aggresive tactics have cost Lando anywhere from a 25-27 point swing already in just those 3 races. The moving under braking, the pushing Lando off, letting off the brakes, all of them are absolutely to stop Lando at whatever the cost.
Will be interesting to see how he drives when he’s behind. He won’t be able to drive like a lunatic causing potential crashes.
This is unbelievable. Unacceptable, how the FIA lets Redbull get away with. 10 second penalties for a repeated offense? This is the second weekend in a row.
I am speechless
Anyone why I still see stories of them only putting upgrades on Landos car and not both at the same time. Wonder how close they would be if they always got them at the same time? Think lando has a new floor and Oscar doesn’t
Has anyone got any data or anything to see how we are with race pace in Mexico? Can’t find anything anywhere and wanna know what to expect before the race starts lol, just from guessing and Austin I’m presuming lando should be quicker than Max but not sure in comparison to the Ferraris… any info appreciated
