Future customers and McLaren car enthusiasts can view the 12C in detail through an animated ‘explosion’ of the car’s technical features at McLaren MP4-12C Lewis had massive top end on the sauber with momentum but the second it was past, drag was bogging it down just as the sauber was hitting its limiter.McLaren Automotive has launched a new website to act as an engaging and informative online showroom for the new MP4-12C. Yes it slows them down in over all laptime which is maybe why there never on pole. mclaren are 99.9% of the time behind them on the grid so it makes perfect sence to gear your car so its able to overtake. redbull are always set up to be reving there nads off when the drs is active. look at sector 2 at spa, mclaren where up there with red bull, who apparently have better DF. Mclaren big wing, higher topend gearing, but rely on overtaking. Hamilton was geared so that when he had a chance to overtake a RB he had plentyfull topend coming from the DRS indused slip stream. You guys meaning to tell me you NEVER saw what was actually happening at spa? The redbulls were bouncing on the limiter for pete's sake, where as hamilton would only be 200rpm or so from it. It's more likely they were fully tanked whereas Red Bull were optimising for the second stint, thinking that this was where the race was going to be won or lost for them. I'd be amazed if McLaren have really managed to get their sums so wrong that they're close in qualifying but 2+ seconds off the pace in race trim. Whilst it's true that throughout most of the year the teams have run similar strategies there have been a couple of races where one or other team have changed what they were running and have caused surprises in either qualifying or the race. IIRC Vettel was fastest in the final race trim run.īut if you look just at the best time sheet and say mcl are doing well with the big wing, you have no indication of race potentialĪnd you don't know the fuel loads, so you have no indication whilst looking at any of the lap times. Yes you can.You just dont open it, like they do when the fill up and do a race sim at the end of FP2.
