Spy.

...and again.

Honda don't look likely to take a fourth-ever F1 victory... ever.

You got to be kidding me...

Honda won't be in Formula one by year's end. Calling it now. They are worse than what they were in their first year.

Someone needs to play Benny Hill theme at the McLaren garage.

 

[NW48]

Bwoah!

Kimi just went fastest with a 1:18.634 on supersoft tyres. 3 tenths off the outrught lap record on the current Barcelona layout.

Honda on the Alonso problem: "Fernando has stopped out on track with the same issue that Stoffel encountered yesterday - intermittent electrical shutdown.

"Various electrical components in the PU and chassis were changed overnight, and the team are making further changes to eliminate variables and identify the source of the problem."

Wouldn't 1-1.5 seconds be an improvement? We've seen cars at the back of the pack off the lead times by what 2-3 seconds in some races?

PS: I wonder how often Hamilton thinks about his move from Mclaren to Mercedes...

At the time we all thought that McLaren were the team going forwards and Mercedes-Benz were the team going backwards.

He must have known a dud when he saw one. A fantastic move in retrospect.

Don't think he couldn't have seen the writing on the wall during his last season with Button?

They had the fastest car on the grid and cocked it up in every way possible.

They have never recovered from it.

 

[psychoazubi]

Kimi causing a red flag after 46 Laps of his race simulation. That sounded strange.

 

[Michelin Man]

Reported gearbox failure, hence the rear wheel lock up

 

[psychoazubi]

That's what I heart too.

(Hopefully last) Red Flag. Toro Rosso standing on S/F straight. Even Alonso could do a few laps in the past hour

How much horsepower does a GP2 Engine produce? Asking for a friend.

More than a Honda F1 engine.

Well as of last year the Mecachrome V8's made 612bhp

Turn 6 is where Kimi really increases the gap.

Yeah that factor is so important in F1. Seems Fernando had the other side of that medal a lot..

I'll be sure to tell my friend Ferdinand Alphonso.

3.6 seconds, holy crap! And are they still not showing qualifying pace?

 

[Liquid]

That's a great video. Let's not forget that these Grand Prix cars are also at their heaviest since the 1930s if not their heaviest ever. And Räikkönen is still 3+ seconds faster than last year's ultra-dominant car.

Well yeah they are heavier because the fatter and hence more gripper tyres weigh more.

 

[Dreadmed]

On first glance, I thought that was just the usual "bring forth the copyright hammer" of years past when I saw that the video wouldn't work on this site, turns out Liberty are doing at least one thing right! It would be very nice indeed if they could show various highlights of that quality throughout the year.

 

[TenEightyOne]

I'll be sure to tell my friend Ferdinand Alphonso.

That's unkind, the new Honda can pull over 800bhp for almost 150 metres.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Turn 6 is where Kimi really increases the gap.

Turn 3 is what really amazes me. They're pretty much flat-out through there. I cannot even imagine how physically challenging it's going to be when they're doing that for 90 minutes straight.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Well yeah they are heavier because the fatter and hence more gripper tyres weigh more.

It's the power units that have caused the weight increase. These cars are back to the pace of the V10 cars, but it's the weight increase that makes such a development so impressive.

 

[Simmpa]

Maybe this is gonna be a Ferrari takes it all year and people are gonna miss the goolold days of the Mercs
