Stevo985 Posted May 5 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5 Just had a feeling about this. McLaren were SO quick in qualifying on the mediums, but when they all went to softs for Q3 they were miles off it. The tyre compounds in the race were more suited to them. Never would have thought this would happen, but knew they’d be quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I don't think a safety car ruins anything here, Lando would be fine. It hasn't quite been the absolute dominating Red Bull this week, Max hasn't been comfortable through the weekend and Perez not great today. Just need his engine to not go in 2 laps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 5 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5 Only vaguely following this. Did something happen to Verstappen of was Norris just quicker? Hell of a turnaround if so, people were talking about the possibility of Verstappen winning every race this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris done him for speed, he got in front via a safety car but he was so fast he just vanished into the distance. He’d have caught and passed him anyway Edited May 5 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety car gave Norris track position unexpectedly, but he was so quick he might have got close anyway. After the SC he was just way quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Max seemed happier that Lando won than he does when he actually wins himself in that post race interview Upgrade package looking very good for them. Even Piastri was doing a super job early on ahead of the Ferrari's and I'm pretty sure he only has half of them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if they could be a true competitor for a few races. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 6 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6 Still buzzing this morning. Proper chuffed for Lando. When was the last time Max didn't win a race that he finished? Singapore last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It would be really good for the season if the Mclaren could regularly compete with Red Bull. Piastri also showed he had some amazing pace too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
