The switch to 18-inch F1 tyres for 2022 was a significant part of this year's revised technical package but, for McLaren, the switch made things harder. Explained:
"There's a point at which there's the drivers as well, they play a role in adapting to this," said Stella."And we have seen in this couple of years that certainly for Daniel, the window in which he is comfortable, is slightly narrower than Lando, let's say.
"And what we have seen is that Lando is a slightly more capable of sort of dealing with that. So the fundamental element is tyres, the car characteristic mitigate it, and then you have the drivers on top of it that play a further role."technical director James Key agreed that tyres were a major issue for the team as it tried to optimise the car.
"It is really a case of how well you're mitigating against it. We've had long debates about is there a particular part of our process or a tool we're using, which is maybe making us a little bit more susceptible to the sorts of behaviours we're seeing with these things?
