China, Noris and in a completely dry weekend expected in Oscar piastry Must be hoping to show McLaren’s real speed – although Vastapane is already clear how good it looks.

“They are super strong,” they said. “I mean, I have great respect for what I have done. You know, already very fast last year and now they are very fast. Yes, very all -round, good everywhere.

“So I think this is just a fact. Now how big the difference is or whatever is difficult to say. I think the clear picture you saw that McLaren was far ahead. Because I don’t think I am a stupid in the wet, but I did not really have a chance to fight in the first stent.

“I think in general we just need to be better as a whole; if you compare it to McLaren, they are good everywhere.

“It is really impossible to answer completely. I think I think of myself, so Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari were all very close. And perhaps a little track would be different to track.”

McLaren was extended to dominate at least 2025, Noris said the car “does not conform to my driving style”, and that it is a difficult car to drive and keep it together in a lap “.

Vastapane was in a similar situation last year, not fully happy with his Red Bull by winning the race at the beginning of the campaign.
