Two races before the end McLaren against Renault leads 121:83 - in points of course. Apparently they are French now understood, why were they in this year duel with McLarn in a subordinate position. Team boss Cyril Abiteboul is in conversation for colleagues from Motorsport-Total.com said: “McLaren made a better race car, a better chassis and that’s a fact.And it had effect to their performances on the track, especially at qualifications. "McLaren is a good half a second faster than us in qualifying,”So Abiteboul. So it was at least in the last race in Austin. But before that Renault on the qualifiers fluctuated greatly. From one tenth seconds to good seconds the French lagged behind McLarn.
That's it, too slika, which is reflected in the view statistics for this season both teams. Renault started the race on average (rounded) from eleventh place, McLaren pa tenth. It's a better starting point McLaren used for averages three points on the race, Renault came here on two. “We know that actual performance is seen in qualifications. The boundaries of the race car are also shown here. Ours has some basic characteristics that didn’t work as well if we went to the limit. In a race where it's more about management, things went better," so Abiteboul.
Opinions that they are on race better, is also Daniel Ricciardowho thinks he has McLaren make it easier to work with your car at driving at the limit. “Let's say that their window of operation is slightly wider. This is, in my opinion, the reason why we do not always manage to get the most out of qualifying. I believe our window of action expands on the race. Which is why we can turn the matter around."
All Abiteboul lost duel with McLarn attributes not only to qualifications but also strategy and racing events. Its conclusion is as follows: “We know what we need to focus on. And we just have to accept that some things take time, whether we like it or not. In this case, Formula 1 is cruel and relentless," so French, which adds: "McLaren is still a fantastic team and a big name. I’m not ashamed to fight McLarn."
