Yes I know it’s only testing but McLaren are looking very poor today. Not many laps on the board and STR with the same tyre is quicker. Come on Woking! Get your act together!

@baron ”STR with the same tyre is quicker.” – Useless to compare as we don’t know the fuel loads, for example, nor which engine modes were being used, i.e., whether they were using full power or not during the fastest laps of those teams, etc.

I think the new cars definitely look better without the big fins but I think there is still room to cut off some centimeters. Also looks like we did not get rid of the coat hanger rear wings. They are still there on the rear fin. Although I don’t really mind about them anymore.
