I hope PU22 gets it too, or else i see a telemetry leak from a pissed off PU incoming.

These Twitter accounts were a brilliant Idea.

Yes his brother the PU22 will get the upgrade too. I ask to PU14 and both answer me.....

You should keep hinting that one is getting better mapping and oil than the other, see if you can start F1's first power unit fist-fight

Sounds like Renault from the onboard..

Button says the Honda-powered MP4-30 has the basic traits of a winning car minus the necessary downforce.
"I feel that this is a good start but we don't have enough downforce to fight with Mercedes or even a couple of the other teams," he said. "But the basic philosophy and idea of the aerodynamics and how it works is definitely right. I haven't driven a McLaren like this before, not in the way that it works.
"I'm not saying it's the quickest McLaren I have ever driven, because it's not, but in the way that it works the basic car is very good and it means we can build on it. The airflow will be very clean, so basically we can just add downforce. Beforehand [on last year's car] you would add downforce and it would really change the characteristics of the car, so it's a more consistent car in terms of balance. But as I said, it still needs a lot of work to be competitive.

"Last year you had a lot of downforce when you turned in and hit the brakes but you lost all downforce at the apex. This car is very different, it does what you hope it will do, which is very important for myself and also for Fernando as far as I can see. Looking at the data, Fernando and I like very similar cars and it does the right thing, it's just whether we have enough downforce."

Don't like the sound that...

Hahah!!
Another year of good ol' Mclaren potential to build on.

It's good that the philosophy is different. What they need to do is develop the rear and front wings and diffuser.
From what button is saying the chassis is good. So most of the adjustment lies in the wings and floor apparently.

As for the Honda engine.. let's see if it can survive before the first pitstop.

Sounds really good to me

[Carmack]

I don't mind Button saying that, the car has a pretty much basic launch aero kit.
Let's see about that major upgrade...

Well it's not tuned up to 11 so we'll see, 5.5 hours till FP1 begins

Has anybody seen the onboard laps of FP1?

Have you noticed that weird sound on the downshifts? Most other teams like RB go quickly through the sequential gearbox with Chuck-Chuck-Chuck noise. Button and Kmag were merely coasting to the apexes staying at least a second in gear...

Are they finally ready to run their MGU-K and harvest under breaking? Is this the reason they weren't able to put in more than a dozens laps?

Amus:



Interesting detail underneath the undercut against sidepod.

If only Honda PU can work now [-o<
