McLaren have had an absolutely horrid weekend. They have had no pace whatsoever and have conceded a lot of points which means now Ferrari are closer in the Constructors. The past few races the team have been inconsistent and it has cost them dearly. The suspected culprit to the loss of pace was the modified rear wing they had to change after Baku. Both drivers struggled immensely with their graining and even in clean air the pace was horrible. Hopefully next week will be better or this Constructors Championship will also be lost.
Lewis (7th in the standings):
Qualifying: 10th
Grand Prix: 2nd (18 point)
Positions: +&
George (6th in the standings) :
Qualifying: 1st
Grand Prix: 1st (25 points)

Mercedes have had a an incredible weekend from start to finish. They topped all the timing sheets for each session and were by far the fastest team this weekend. The car seems to like very cold temperatures and a relatively dusty track so both drivers had a field day. George did a fantastic job throughout the entire race just cruising at the front while Lewis fought his way up the pack from 10th. The team did well with their strategy calls for pit stops which weren’t easy considering how much traffic was on track. Now let’s see Toto open his mouth about shelf life😇
