Maiden full race for the mclarens, they are just hoping to get some data and experience with the car.
shame to lose one so early after a nudge from a slower car. The last surviving mclaren the number 60 has had a odd race from the looks of it, most of the time its on a similar pace to the leaders but then has long pit stops every now and then throwing it down the order. Pace wise its easily a top 10 car but has spent far too long in the pits but you have to go through the growing pains at some point.
Could be worse check out aston at lemans this year, at least the mclaren has done 286 laps and is still racing at a very good pace.
