Weird that he does't uses the whole circuit.
No matter how bad Nico is compared with Hamilton, he is still a F1 driver, he has to have great car control skills.
As for the clutch overheating.It's a quirk of McLaren's traction control setup.
They uses the brakes to do TC duties with a open diff. They don't cut engine power. Good that way as the engine won't drop off boost, but something has to give with engine making full power but the tires are being slowed by the brakes. It's the gearbox, where the clutch that takes the abuse instead.
It looks like the Senna is another one of those 1 lap wonder cars, they hav one amazing lap per session, unless say a Porsche GT car where it just keep going and going.
