Car mag at the end of that video said:

Mclaren say that their 12c was suffering from hydraulic suspension problems on the day of the test and has since returned to Rockingham.

Piloting the same car on the optional pirelli corsa tyres, Mclaren's chief test driver recorded a time of 1:28.00...

Of course it did!! I would expect that car to go faster with the man who was instrumental in perfecting the performance characteristics of the driving it, with better tyres and fixed suspension than Ben Collins.

The ONLY way I think we could ever have a true answer as to which car is faster would be to put both Chris Goodwin in the Mclaren and Dario Benuzzi in the Ferrari and at a randomly picked test track and see which is faster!! No excuses about suspension or tyres or whatever else Mclaren can dream up....simply which is the faster car!!! Never going to happen tho....

I don't believe Mclaren handed over a faulty car. Assuming it was a Mclaren press car?
