Mclaren was quick in Miami, but can the Woking-based squad compete at the front again at Imola to underline a championship challenge?
The real test of just how close McLaren really are to Red Bull will be revealed over the next handful of races.
While the Sprint fell apart for McLaren, as Norris was eliminated at Turn 1 as an innocent victim of other cars colliding, the British driver bounced back in the race to capitalise on a Safety Car to inherit the lead after his pit stop. “We’re now coming up to Imola, which is a more traditional circuit and very different in terms of the fact that it’s traditional asphalt on the ground.
“Because we’ve seen with Mercedes, haven’t we, they’ve been bringing updates, but we keep hearing that what they see on track is not what they’re seeing in the wind tunnel. Combined with being put on the back foot by the Safety Car, Verstappen’s afternoon falling apart still met with a comfortable second place, and Chandhok said telling just how badly Verstappen’s RB20 was hurt is something only Red Bull knows.
“Lando was within a couple of tenths of him in qualifying. The Ferraris were within that as well. If you look at the sprint quali, Lando and Oscar were quickest in SQ1 and SQ2 and then had a terrible run on the softs in SQ3, but they were fast. They were genuinely fast all weekend.
