Don’t worry Lewis is a pro in this area. An absolute pro. At least that's what all the rookies are saying, and the rookie who took his seat and is doing more with the MB than he ever could with little seat time.
It must absolutely eat you alive to watch this hack drive and actually think he’s going to do something of worth in a race car.

The result was a 37 sec. gap (!) So far ,the McLaren brake and tyre advantage is unbeatable.
Useless to say , McLaren don't needs the fastest car to win a race . As I said , the McLaren tyres win the race .

That's called innovation.

McLaren properly did its homework and is picking the fruits. Meritocracy.

Up to the other teams to match or even beat McLaren's advantage.

Rob Marshall is a heavy Brit , born in 1968 . I'm pretty sure he loves hamburgers.

McLaren is using phase change materials (PCM) in the brake drums. PCM's can store and release thermal energy during a phase transition from solid to liquid. This explains Red Bull's observation that moisture (water) is sometimes visible on the inside of the McLaren wheels.
Remember my post about Red Bull's thermal cams , the Red Bull and Ferrari thermal cams showes blue and not red zones at the McLaren MCL39 (!)
As I said : Blue is cold and red is hot ..

It's impossible for all the other teams to copy&paste the advanced McLaren PCM technology in this 2025 season .
The entire McLaren MCL39 car is built around the PCM technology , this means the entire car remains colder.
In other words : Too bad for us and all the other teams (!)

And in the real world.

So old...but posting because of the rumors thrown about the paddock by you know who (shouldn't he be gone soon?).

"Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, has confirmed that Oscar Piastri’s McLaren was found to be in compliance with the F1 2025 technical regulations after an “extensive” inspection following the Miami Grand Prix."

MAX has said that Imola is not suddenly where the magic happens, and he doesn't know how much that is going to give to the team.

Imola

New rumor:

Five Years On, Verstappen Still Believes 2020 Imola Crash Was No Accident — Calls for Reinvestigation Target Hamilton. It’s been five years, but Max Verstappen has never stopped believing that the crash which wrecked his car and forced a DNF while running P2 at the 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was more than just a racing incident. Now, Red Bull and Verstappen are officially calling for the case to be reopened, citing unresolved questions surrounding the circumstances of the crash. At the heart of their suspicion? The man who benefited most after Max lost control and slammed into the barriers at the Villeneuve corner — none other than Lewis Hamilton. Buckle up — the past is coming back with a vengeance.
