Yeah that was a groaner. In all seriousness, ECR is so good at Indy, she'll probably be near the front and take out most of the field when she wrecks.

They might as well be in FCA. They might not be FIAT, but they still do what FIAT tells them.

There’s not

And Ferrari and FCA are run by the same dude

Stoffel's getting a good run in today. Plenty of time at the top of the timesheet, albeit with hypersofts on. If McLaren needed to convince a potential sponsor or two they're probably doing enough. If they end up in Melbourne with no new stickers on the car lol just lol.

They probably won't, get your lols ready

McLaren seems to like running very soft compounds (they did this in the past too) for whatever reason.

Their simulations told them the softest compounds would work better in the cold.

I just listened to Autosport Podcast's testing wrap-up and their best guess at the order so far was:

1. Mercedes
2. Red Bull
---
3. Ferrari
---
4. McLaren
5. Renault

and no one really cared about the rest. The caveat with Ferrari was that they seemed to be experimenting quite a lot and it was hard to say where they actually were.

Renault has a vested interest in giving their customers power unit parity, or at least they claim to, since they want to directly compare their chassis with Red Bull and McLaren. I’m sure that won’t last for long.

McLaren just has way more money and resources than Williams ever has. Ojjeh is a billionaire, Peter Lim is a billionaire, Bahrain is a whole country, etc. It doesn't even really matter that they barely have any sponsors, the owners could fund the team almost indefinitely if they were so inclined. It's hard to imagine a future in which they don't return to the front.

Renault invented the Minivan. The Espace predates the Chrysler one by a few months IIRC. Although if we are getting technical the Type-1 by VW was the first Minivan, and Chevrolet had the Greenbrier. The Japanese also had passenger versions available of their commercial vans available forever.
