And why wouldn't he be - he doesn't have to drive a McLaren Honda for another couple of hours. Siesta!

I thought he sounded rather frustrated.
EDIT- Great to see McLaren using some time up to get a new viewing box...

It's believed to be an old engine. McLaren broight some chassis upgrades, so they would want to run the old engine to get a baseline on performance. Besides, you don't change to a fresh engine until you have to, which is to say running in FP3. Running a new engine in FP1 and FP2 just puts unnecessary mileage on it.

I fail to see how you could know that given that none of the journalists in Barcelona are aware of it.

Fernando's apparently left the circuit and gone to the hotel. Probably gone home to eat his feelings in McDonalds.

I like the new numbers. Especially the way Mercedes made Bottas blue and Hamilton red. The Ferrari, Renault and McLaren all look pretty good, too.

I always liked the Spain circuit.
Kind of similar to Hungary, people say the races are boring, but I'm not seeing it, tight tracks usually give plenty of overtaking chances. Yeah, I'm sure there were some boring races, too, but again personally I have had a lot of fun watching these races. Also LOVED the Hockenheimring with its long straights, absolutely awesome and there were overtakes for sure.
Anyways, I hope this race will be good, not really looking forward to another Alonso / Honda debacle though, guy deserves better, but then again no one forced him to drive for this team and "Honda-McLaren" has certainly a nice ring to it :lol
But yeah, I hope it's not another snooze fest, missed the race before the last one in Russia and that was obviously great, and then I watched Russia and omg what a boring track and race. :zzZ

Not related to what's going on on the track I must say it is refreshing to see how much better the cars look this year. The wider profile is the way to go.

It's to be expected, given his relative inexperience. It's only really a problem if it keeps happening.Oh dear Stoffel...
