It will be fun to see the tests now that McLaren has done a few tweaks.

let's just put it this way, we can thank McLaren for the MP4 as now Ferrari knows that there is someone on their tail and its a competitor that is as serious as Ferrari when building road cars.

So you think the 12C's used are stock? Mclaren has sent a crew with the testcars anytime a track event is involved and I can confirm at least twice where they've changed the car to corsa tires after lapping slower than the 458 AND STILL didn't outpace the 458 after that tire swap(CAR magazine's test w/ Ben Collings & Evo's test). That Chris Harris rant put the spotlight on ferrari for something that most manufacturers do and many have gotten carried away with that sentiment expressed by him

gmaccormack is an unknown quantity at this point
Oh I agree that most if not all brands send tuned cars to the test. I just think Ferrari have worked out more of the kinks then mclaren has.
