http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/43248961Too early to read into that headline lap by Hamilton? Vandoorne on the hypersofts has let to a lot of social media users crowing about McLaren trying to set fast laps in order to attract a major sponsor which seems an unlikely thing to do considering that I can't remember them ever doing so in the previous few years when they've not had a title sponsor. Journalist James Allen says the car looks very good aerodynamically and that we shouldn't underestimate this car which is encouraging at least.
