F1 8 years, 5 months ago
What is deeply concerning at this stage is that they are testing with 2013 cars which have significantly less torque than next yrs cars, if this years cars cant handle these tyres, then its time to get worried! No […]

Mclaren replied to the topic Going to 2014 pre-season testing at Jerez in the forum Formula One 8 years, 5 months ago
@Clinton, as far as I understand, Lotus want the test delayed by a week because they are behind schedule, but I understand that all other “top teams” have blocked such a move because presumably they are on schedule and want the cars on track as soon as possible.

Mclaren started the forum topic Why is Alonso’s status not hurt by 07? in the group
F1 8 years, 5 months ago
I was just watching the BBC interview where Alonso says Vettel’s titles will be bad news for him if when ” he will have a car like the others” he is not winning, my question is that Vettel’s credibility is […]
Mclaren replied to the topic Why is Alonso’s status not hurt by 07? in the forum Formula One 8 years, 5 months ago
@JamieFranklinF1, although Hamilton had tested in an F1 car before, the pressures etc of driving for the first time in a Grand Prix season is completely different to driving around testing, so yes he has comparatively more experience to a rookie nowadays, but he still was a rookie in nature. Lets for the sake of the argument say Hamilton was a…[Read more]

Mclaren replied to the forum topic Rating Hamilton’s first season at Mercedes in the group
F1 8 years, 5 months ago
I rate Hamilton’s season a success. I think sometimes its easy to forget where Mercedes have come from, in the latter half of 2012 they were close to 2 seconds off the pace and at the start of 2013 they turned up […]

Mclaren replied to the forum topic Rosberg: On pure speed, I’m equal with Lewis in the group
F1 8 years, 6 months ago
What does that mean?
@tmekt, that means that Hamilton is no God and cant be expected to outqaulify Rosberg by a second each time to prove he’s faster. The difference between the very top drivers in F1 is […]

Lest go back 12 months, who’d have thought Mercedes would finish 2nd to RBR in the constructors and Hamilton would finish 3rd in the WDC behind Alonso and Vettel in a “mercedes”, i think none. Hamilton and […]

Nico Rosberg during an interview with Germany’s Sport Bild gave his opinions on his season so far and claimed on pure speed he is about equal with Hamilton. I for one am waiting for 2014 to fully judge the two […]

Mclaren started the forum topic Why do people always blame Hamilton? in the group
F1 8 years, 6 months ago
I’m finding it quite annoying that so many so called “experts” are blaming Hamilton for his spin in Q3 and labelling it a mistake. The team themselves confirmed that Lewis suffered a right wishbone failure and […]
Mclaren commented on the post, Hamilton admits he needs to get more from the car 8 years, 6 months ago
He just needs a bit of luck; Had his car not broken down half way through his Q3 lap, he may have been on pole and we wouldn’t have been having these discussions. But on another note, Hamilton seems to struggle […]

I am a massive Hamilton fan but have always respected Vettel. I haven’t liked the guy but always respected his achievements. But I must admit, after watching this interview live on the BBC, it has really changed by opinions on the guy; he is massively humble and a great great guy, its such a big shame the media don’t show this “human” side to the…[Read more]
Mclaren commented on the post, Hamilton "didn't lose too much time" behind Vettel 8 years, 6 months ago
Its a sign of Hamilton’s class that whenever his team-mate out-qualifies him people start coming out with statements “I wonder why Hamilton was not at his best today?” and “Lewis, any traffic issues? (asked in the […]
Mclaren commented on the post, Tyres only thing holding Mercedes back – Hamilton 8 years, 6 months ago
That’s a valid argument, but if one compares Mercedes pre-spa qualifying pace comparatively to race pace, it was clearly evident that they had the outright fastest car, but one which overstressed its tyres; if we […]
