Jensons car at Silverstone was borrowed from mclaren, all they had left to lend was the test mule car that was pretty destroyed from testing. It also had outdated spec on it and a major gearbox/handling fault which Mclaren helped correct through the weekend
So probably not a fair account of the car
The car itself sounds like it’s a super quick car in the right hands, but maybe not Am orientated like the Audi and Mercedes
I’m plenty sure you’re right about tech support, I believe Mclaren just send an engineer to the track with a spares truck. That engineer services all teams there
