Things I really dislike. Loading up on the first leg of the quaddie to avoid getting knocked out in the first leg of the quaddie and then getting knocked out in the first leg of the quaddie anyway….

McLaren’s development rate seems to be outpacing if not their ambition exactly, then at least their own perception of where they are. They need to recognise they are in contention for two champions...
