Why Ferrari doesn’t agree with McLaren F1 fairytale revival
Since the upgrades in Austria, Lando Norris has achieved four second places, while his teammate Oscar Piastri secured his first podium in Japan. Despite their recent surge in form, McLaren believes they underperformed earlier in the season but showed glimpses of good pace in qualifying. The team acknowledges that track suitability and driveability are also factors in their performance. Ferrari’s performance in Suzuka confirms their improvement in tire management, which was a weak point earlier in the year. McLaren feels that they made good strategical calls during the race, including keeping Carlos Sainz on track for a late second pit stop to give him fresher tires.
