BaGearA Posted February 16, 2021 Share maybe Mclaren have the advantage of already having a car that's racey in traffic and now they get A good engine   I'm just making up scenarios that will hopefully give us An exciting year Long Wheel Base, MORNE , aiyaaz and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted February 17, 2021 Share maybe Mclaren have the advantage of already having a car that's racey in traffic and now they get A good engine   I'm just making up scenarios that will hopefully give us An exciting year not to mention they now have THE latest of the late brakers in the cockpit too. PS - probably why they changed brake material supplier for this year lol. RIC probably prefers a certain feel between Carbon Industries, Brembo and Hitco. Mcl used to be with Hitco, They are running Brembo this year apparently Edited February 17, 2021 by MORNE aiyaaz and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted February 17, 2021 Share Sho, okes are going to be bleak if Norris beats DR this season..Well, the pressure is all on Norris imo. He’s hardly a rookie anymore so no more hiding behind that if it goes pear shaped. If he beats Ric, then he is set - because Ric is a known quantity. If he doesnt, he’s another coulthard at best. Norris is defo not a generational talent like VER is, but his ultimate ability is still an unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted February 17, 2021 Share Excuse the crap pic. But this puts into perspective how much tighter the new merc PU is...and also possibly scary what kind of shrink wrapping merc can achieve with it. Edit: Not long now until we go full circle lol.

TheoG Posted February 18, 2021 Share Sho, okes are going to be bleak if Norris beats DR this season.. DR is falling in the same category for me now for as DC in the past, consistent but nothing spectacular.  So yes there's every chance that Lando is going to whip his ar*e.

Having two consistent drivers is so crucial as Alex Albon proved last season.  Even Ocon was hit and miss last year, need to take the 2/3 points when on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
