Look how the turntables, I’m waiting for McLaren to pay Norris to fuck off to the distance to sign Hamilton if they got a competitive car. /s

ALTHOUGH that situation would be dope, Hamilton winning his first and eighth title and then retiring with McLaren.

As a McLaren fan I would be beyond stoked to watch that. Lewis taking the fight to RB in a McLaren? Where do I sign

"I want to be able to carry minimum speed and to 'U' a corner. And the last thing I can do in the world now is 'U' a corner. I have to 'V' the corner more than ever, and I've never been the biggest fan of doing that. And I don't like it that much.”

Interesting - Sainz made a comment to Ricciardo when the latter joined McLaren, something along the lines of "it's weird huh" about the car's driving characteristics

What's the reason the McLaren handles different from other cars?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Norris doesn't say anything specific, just that the car doesn't like to turn

He mentioned that if they had the aero downforce that RB had, they wouldn't have the balance to use it

So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
