MP4-19B Are Ready To Race?
The team will decide whether to give the new MP4-19B its race debut at the French GP on 4 July after this week's test at Jerez in Spain.
Pedro de la Rosa set the fastest time on Wednesday, nearly a second quicker than Williams test driver Marc Gene. Pedro dan Alex Wurz also did massive number of laps. Its look good for McLaren. So many laps and so quick times.  We will se how this test's pace can transform to the race.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/3834185.stm Last edited by Led ZeppF1; 24 Jun 2004 at 03:47. |

McLaren wont make a mess of things twice in a row, If they do I'll have to go down there myself and give them all a good kicking. :lol:

Wouldn't like to seem too suspicious, but until I see the macs winning a real race I won't trust them.

It does appear to be a step forward - and to do 101 laps it must have been reasonably reliable.

Very good slicktoast - just don't spread yourself too thinly.
I think they should race the car if they think it has any real chance of reaching the finish. It's not really as if the old car is bulletproof - Kimi needed lengthy pitstops in each fo teh last 2 races, which would've usually left him outside the points. |

If they really have a new engine then their will be little choice but to race the new one I suppose... the old one is better than nothing.....

The old car has started to show abit more reliability, if not speed, so they might decide to stick with it until the new car shows some reliability?
Whats that saying? you can make a fast car reliable, but you can't make a reliable car fast. |

The old car is still quite slow and unreliable - better to take the chance on the new car.
Which is what they did with this one, I suppose. I'd just give up. |
