The McLaren race pace is just insane. It’s their driver and constructor championships to lose this year.

But who knows, stranger things have happened. Mclaren was on nobody’s radar when last season started

Sure . It's just 20 laps to run .

37/57 laps at this moment..

More rain is coming (!) But they run with slicks now ...

GuidoK · 03-16-2025, 12:24 AM

depending on how long that sc session takes (how many laps) will probably determine if the mediums for Max are the right choice....

M4Lou · 03-16-2025, 12:24 AM

Rain + Slicks - likely coming at same time...

HFW003 · 03-16-2025, 12:24 AM

that can give some serious situations....

Artemis · 03-16-2025, 12:25 AM

Interested to know how the tire strategy will work out: NOR and PIA on hards - VER on mediums.

McLaren expecting 1 lap of intense rain soon.

McLaren warning NOR that rain will come quicker and a bit longer than 1 lap. Hesitation: keep the hards or change for inters ?

Are you at the race, mate?!

GuidoK · 03-16-2025, 12:32 AM

Was just said on mclaren team radio....: "Lando we did not fit the wrong tyre..."

You only say that if you've fit the wrong tyre......

So mediums is the right choice

M4Lou · 03-16-2025, 12:34 AM

Possible crazy finish****

///M Power-Belgium · 03-16-2025, 12:34 AM
