First of all, thank you everybody for 10,000 subscribers! You're all the best.
Mclaren has had one of the craziest mid-season development curves we've ever seen in Formula 1. From 17 points in the first 7 races to 160 in the last 7 races, I wanted to dive in and try and piece together how they've done it.
During pre-season testing for the 2023 season Mclaren were clearly in big trouble. Slow in the high speed corners, slow on the straights and slow to get on the power. And come the first race of the season in Bahrain, we’d see one Mclaren DNF and the other finish dead last.
Which makes it even more insane that we've seen them make the comeback that they have.
