How McLaren is the biggest winner of F1 2019 so far
While the battle between Ferrari and Mercedes at the front of the Formula 1 field has occupied the spotlight, our technical expert has been analysing performance trends across the entire grid - and the team that's made the biggest gains isn't one you'd expect...
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix was another race of what might have been for Ferrari, while Mercedes kept its focus and came away with a fourth one-two of the season. Not bad for a team that everyone, myself included, thought was on the ropes at the end of pre-season testing.
But the results only tell part of the story - so with four races in the history books it's a good opportunity to take a look at the performance trends that have emerged over the Australian, Bahrain, Chinese and Azerbaijan GP weekends.
