Utter shambles, all because the oil tank wasn't the right shape.

 

McLaren really are a pack of losers now, they've made one mistake after another since Lewis won the title.

 

It doesn't seem that long ago people were calling Lewis a nut for jumping ship to Mercedes :lol:

And another Honda engine replaced today! 6 engines! :lol:

 

Over in the McLaren-Honda pit, it’s looking very much like Groundhog Day. Stoffel Vandoorne has done 34 laps this morning but the Belgian had not been out for a while before the lunch break. Now we know why. Honda is changing the engine after a problem was discovered this morning. That’s at least six engines the Japanese company has got through in testing so far - and that’s just the number you get to when you count up the changes they will admit to; it might even be one more than that. It is really not looking good for that team this season.

Anyone seen the Sky advert for the upcoming F1 season, if you havent it features lots of horses on a race track with the bold statement that, its not a one horse race anymore......

 

Trying to ignite some interest Sky??

 

If the first few races follow suit from last year, i can see a lot of "fans" getting very bored, very quick.

It looks more positive than ever from testing, but then this happened last year. Ferrari looked close to .Merc in testing, then Lewis took a 0.8s lead in qualy.

 

I'd like it to be closer, but only if RB and maybe Williams can join in too. I still want Kimi to DNF every race, and Lewis to win them all.
