Interesting that Pato said the grip was the biggest thing he noticed. Most drivers who get their first drive in an F1 car say the ability to brake so much later than they expect is the biggest thing they noticed - but they also mention the downforce (grip).

The work environment and camaraderie of the teams (if behind the scenes is the same as what you see on these films) is a great credit to the leaders involved in this team. Even if they have a bad weekend, they all seem to have a positive outlook on the situation and never lose their drive to succeed. I wish I had leaders like that where I work.

I couldn't agree more. If I were to pick a team it would be this one. Yeah, there is a certain type of head down seriousness that has to occur the closer you get to seeing yourself winning championships and constructors, but the energy of McLaren at present is such a positive one and one where they want to see growth in an organic way. They push, they don't harp on the negative, and they take the time to fully celebrate their good days. I've worked at a few jobs like this and it absolutely makes a difference how everyone as a team works together and is able to accomplish greatness. You respect and nurture the team, they respect you and tend to push for those results. Pato has a good vibe to him that who knows, we may someday see driving for McLaren.
