A couple of days ago we wondered where McLaren will be 2011, because it doesn't surprise us read and read that the car is very radical, that to see if they are not hit with the McLaren MP4-26... Like everything in this life, insurance that is neither, nor so bald. To assess a bit more where it will be the car (and I believe that it will be fine, if not in the first races Yes to measure the season go ahead), we can see the statements of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button and his impressions on the car.
The key to what is missing in the car for Hamilton is simple: lacks it grip, rather "downforce". What says the English part is that you remember you to the nervousness of the car of 2009, when "it was terrible, it was bouncing, three wheels by curves, I had no grip".

This is not blocked, is not to three-wheeled, and it is quite manageable, better than the car of the year, but do not have too much agarre… is there where it seems weak.Jenson Button also believes that is can take much more advantage to the single-seat (hence that we are convinced that in the medium term we will have forgotten the doubts of this MP4-26) by the lack of testing mileage.
Fortunately we have some more downforce the car in a package that we will have before the first race
The first time that I got to the car did not think "Wow, we are going to overwhelm everyone with this car". No, we have much less grip, the tires are very different from the anteriores… There is nothing that I fear I really with this car, but there is still much possible improvement through the general setupConcern, although nuanced, by a car that has lot of potential (a priori) but to be getting it. I believe, already third time that I mention in this post, yes they are going to get, but today we can only ensure that car wakes up and sweeps, or either the car is mediocre, either is bad. That is a not too nice way of saying that we have no idea.
