All very well said. McLaren is not acting like a front running team at the moment, despite the car that is absolutely a front running (I would argue the best) car out there. Their aerodynamic grip looks phenomenal (just check the first few laps in the damp when they both walked away from the Mercs), tire life is excellent (always striking back late in a race), and it seems the best over one lap these days.
But mix that with letting the driver be the strategist, Lando's lesser experience racing for wins than the likes of Max and Lewis, some very late calls on strategy, and you're left with many opportunities that feel squandered.
Of course, losing out to both Max and Lewis is not a bad place to be, but they had a win on the table here, as we've said before this season
