Let's hope the same mistakes won't be repeated.

Mechanics are blocking the view into the garage, they are obviously changing or fixing something..

McLaren needs Binotto.
Кey is a weak technical director.

Lack of running so far isn't ideal even if you just comparing this to other team, I know every team has different run plan's but unless you get 100 Laps plus you aren't getting the data you need from this 3 day test.

If it is the same issue as last year, something needs to be changed.

Sigh. If the same problems occur and the car isn't a step up compared to last year then I'm afraid that James Key isn't the Andrian Newey as the articles claimed him to be.

The issue from last year was resolved, it seems this is a different problem.
