Can we just appreciate how close McLaren has gotten to the frontrunners, Norris was less then 2 tenths off from Hamilton.
I can’t wait to see them with this awesome chassis and Mercades power in the back next year!
Yep....and next year they gain about 25 HP going from Renault to Mercedes.
For some reason the field look closer today, even Albon only 3 tenth slower than Max
It’s kinda variable, at various times this season the track and conditions have suited the RP, Renault or McLaren better. The Racing point was simply a better car this season. Haha tracing point, yeah I know. But it’s not really even close. Both their drivers have missed races due to illness. Stroll had been particularly unlucky in races. Yet Racing point are third in the standings. It’s been very close I agree between the three teams, but it’s probably been closer than it should have been.
