Canโt blame him really, hope they can build on their current form. But from what Iโve been reading here McLaren got a bit lucky with their upgrade, fingers crossed.

MODERATORS
Yeah I believe the update worked better than expected. It's a good problem to have, but it's still a little worrying that they don't know why (or maybe they do and I'm mistaken).
But, things definitely seem to be moving in the right direction at McLaren. At least they identified the previous philosophy was a dead-end and they made the choice to switch, knowing the first half of this season would be a right off. There's the new wind tunnel and some decent staff signings coming on board too.
I wish he got a decent enough car already. I am really curious how would he do in a current Mercedes car.
I don't think he'd be doing much better than what Hamilton is doing now. McLaren and Mercedes probably have the best driving pairing in my opinion.
"Of course. I want to win races with McLaren. I want to win in papaya, I want to win championships."
What's the papaya reference here?
Papaya refers to the colour orange. Some people refer to the orange car as papaya.
