The car's pace was equally difficult to fathom after McLaren opted to set their quickest times on the softest tyre available - the supersofts for Alonso on Day One and the hypersofts for Vandoorne on Tuesday and Thursday.
But in the grand scheme of McLaren's attempt to clamber back to the front of F1, all that really mattered this week was the seemingly-successful acclimatisation of their new Renault engine to the MCL33. "So far so good," said Alonso. "The car and engine was running fine. There is huge potential in the McLaren-Renault team."
The car, and its pace, at this point is secondary with McLaren admitting prior to Barcelona the MCL33 will be refitted with a full upgrade package when it arrives in Melbourne.
