Hmmm, Bahrain!
It should be BAH! PAIN!
Always a difficult one to find the right balance between grip and turn in as there's so many different types of corners you need to account for whilst still keeping downforce low enough for the straights.

WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!
A nice finely tuned setup for your racing pleasure. Overall turn in response and traction has a nice balance on all bends, But be careful with back end if accelerating hard on curbs through first few turns as they will just spit you off the track and make you look silly! If you feel the need for more turn in response in 1st sector add a click of front wing and that will sort you out. If you want a little more traction on corner exit add 1 click of rear tow to settle it. Be careful though as the more Tow you add the less responsive the backend will be on corner entry which will create understeer, so find the right compromise for your driving style.

I only use automatic gearbox :)

You could always try adding a click of front wing and lowering the rear tow a little, but this will make the rear unstable in the fast bends.

Really!? With 4 3 wings and 8 ballast? Sure it's not the way you enter the corners? If Throttle control and selected gear is out of whack then that can cause understeer. Are you using assists?

Too much understeer in this setup

Only thing I can possibly do is work on some Mercedes setups if your McLaren is pretty much maxed out and see the difference in handling. Bare with me man and I'll have a look for you.

i´m freaking out - my mclaren, 6th season is nearly maxxed out on upgrades - i should have in qualifyings at least a top 3 starting grid, but fact now i´m on every track 1 second slower as Alonso, which doesn´t allow me to qualify for the 2nd or 3rd round...
the handling for me on corners is really a pain for me now, which it wasn´t from season 1-4 for me...
i´m using a xbox360 controller - maybe thats the issue?
do i need other setups for controller?

No worries man, glad it worked for you! Brakes are always going to be the thing that has to be adjusted for the individual, I'm a trail braker so that's why the bias is normally forward based, but I do find on tracks like China/Malaysia a brake bias of 56 or 57 with pressure of around 72% works a charm. :steamhappy:

Nice Setup (Wheel user). Needed to change the Break Bias to 59% to stop myself from locking up.
Took me some time to let just let the car roll into apex and then gently apply the trottle again, but in the end it worked great.
Thanks for sharing

Congrats! You'll enjoy the Russia setup! ;)
