Poll: Official 2023 British Grand Prix Thread - Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone - Round 11

So how have McLaren done it? That's a huge improvement from being virtually a backmarker at the start.

 

[turbot1984]

Why do Lewis and George keep banging on about how fast the McLarens are? Sounds fishy.

 

[Flibster]

Think she gets her muff out in that.

Well, it's about the right time period. They were popular in the 40's. Possibly a good shout to have one in the New Mexico desert, especially if out at night.

 

[Mesai]

Can't believe Hamilton made his way onto the podium again. He just reaches another level at silverstone

Is that Plan S (safety car)? Pity because it would've been a McLaren 2,3.

C4 we’re saying they realised the car design wasn’t good enough so effectively sacrificed the first half of the season to make these developments.

That time we saw Zak coming out of Red Bull......

Can we borrow Adrian for a bit maybe?

They’ve took lots of design ideas from Red Bull’s car design, there’s lots of detailed videos breaking it down.

I saw they've been commenting on it being a Red Bull copy. Protest incoming?

Both thinking about a transfer.

Well yes true, a combo of SC and some dumb strategy at mclaren

I'm more impressed that what they essentially designed on "paper" actually translated to the real-world. Amazing job - I honestly didn't think they'd do it.

 

[Scam]

Would have been ironic given how he went on about Hamilton going off at the last race because Hamilton would have benefited.

Lol true I suppose!

Amazing drive from Max, considering the mammoth struggle late on with his tires.

Er u wot m8

Well given Lewis couldn’t get past in fresh softs AND with DRS it kinda shows the difference between those cars right?

If mclaren are this good and maintain it they are going to rocket up the WCC.

Aston and alpine sliding backwards

 

[Feek]

In before @Flibster slurp slurp

 

[Hawk Tuah]

Albon beating both Ferraris too. The Williams was looking strong at the end there too.

If they have similar performance at Hungary, which is a very different track, it'll be a great sign.

 

[Psycho Ned]

I'll wait to see if Mclaren back it up at the next race before stating they're back. Few teams this season have looked good for a track or two (Aston, Merc, Ferrari etc) then not been able to back it up consistently.

 

[chrismscotland]

Be interesting to see if McLaren can keep this up all season now, they've clearly got a top driver in Norris and Piastri looks really good as well for his first season.

 

[Jono8]

Mercs race pace still isn't awful..seemed slightly better than Ferraris and Aston's and just shy of McLaren's.

Still puts them about the 3rd fastest car again though!

Not for me.. I'm an alpine supporter. Not sure why.
