This does a great job of illustrating the massive step McLaren has taken between the start of last season and this season. Nearly 2 seconds gained, well done lads.
Zak has done well as CEO (he isn't TP, stop confusing them) and McLaren is in a more stable position now than they have been in several years. Hopefully that stability leads to more results at the sharp end of the grid.
I've heard them say it's a combination of the larger wheels along with the mandated aero device over the tires causing large blind spots as you would normally approach an apex.
It's been brought up before but it's worth remembering -
Depending on waybackmachine is fine for now, but a single point of failure to lose everything isn't much better than no backup at all. Always back up locally, to multiple mediums, and use your remote backups as a last resort.
Checo's pleasure in life must be a drive from the back of the grid. Somehow he always finds a way.
