So Max arguably had the fastest car in the first 5 races (where he DNF 1 because his brake caught fire), and the next 19 races the McLaren was by far the fastest car. I have no idea how some people think that was mid season. Maybe a problem with counting til 24 .
Lando's driving and mainly McLaren's team strategy was abysmal though....
Not getting the WDC was a big fail.

And I think from around mid season (Hungary or Belgium) Ferrari also had a faster car than RB.

When one driver wins the WDC and the other team driver finishes 8th...that says a lot about how the car is and how the driver is.
Sure if one driver always wins the WDC and the 2nd team driver also always finishes 2nd....then it's pretty certain that it's the car.
So in '23....it was certainly the car. Back then the RB19 was a rocketship.

I don't like Pierre Waché. The French and the Italians are too chaotic.
They are more specialized in 'Amore...

I'm gifted to read faces , the smiling faces on MAX's table (MAX-Horner-Waché) looked very relaxed and promising.

LEW had a hyper-manic behavior (Hypomania)!

Says enough about Brown's intellect....
There's a reason McLaren failed to get the WDC, and it begins with a B and ends with an N....

I wonder in what reality the middle of the year isn't part of the first half of the year...

He can't even distinguish Max' performance from the car's performance. Maybe he's forgotten Brazil '24

Sure it was Brown , that piece of 5H1T . But also the reckless toyboy racer.
Don't get me wrong . I really like Lando

Yeah . A hyper-manic behavior is always followed by a heart breaking depression .

It's counting down quick as we're getting into March, they'll both be racing each other quite hard come the day.

This has nothing to do with McLaren strategy and everything to do with your baseless and outright clueless comment that Max was driving the 3rd fastest car.

The TP would have all the data available that YOU and I don't have, he would have. So yeah, let's try to not move the qoal post and stick on topic.

Max had the fastest car every season he won.
