It is Sky Sports F1analyst Ted Kravitz who does not rule out that McLaren is indeed the second Formula 1 team on the grid at the moment after Red Bull and that Mercedes is therefore the third team at best. Kravitz saw that McLaren did a remarkable job during the winter test.
“McLaren had a very good first day in dusty conditions and the second day also looked very good. But on the third day they suddenly seemed very reluctant under the guise of ‘let’s not show everything just yet’,” he said. Kravitz in the podcast In The Fast Lane.
In the end, Daniel Ricciardo clocked ‘but’ the seventh fastest time at a good distance from Max Verstappen and Lando Norris was even further down. than they already were. But at the end of the ride they were still very satisfied. “
“And that was not just because they had found something good with the diffuser, they were satisfied with the overall picture. It makes some to place McLaren as the second team behind Red Bull,” Kravitz continued.
The analyst closes the enormous steps that McLaren seems to be taking to two factors: “On the one hand, the new Mercedes engine, on the other hand, is the aerodynamic gain. Not only has McLaren thoroughly revamped the area around the bargeboards, with that new diffuser. They found two to three tenths and that in a season when the downforcel levels needed to be drastically reduced. It seems to be working for them. ”
