On the back of his first pole position last weekend, Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas topped the second day of in-season testing at Sakhir. The Finn ejoyed a trouble-free day and completed a massive 143 laps.
Well.. the day starts like this: The McLaren has stopped at the pit entry - mechanics rush to retrieve the MCL32 with Vandoorne at the wheel. - Autosport.comGoranF1 wrote:I wonder if Mclaren Honda fixed their oil tank defect.

either God or Honda has answer of this. i guess Mclaren will keep running in de-tuned mode through out the test.GoranF1 wrote:I wonder if Mclaren Honda fixed their oil tank defect.

Which is just underwhelming if you compare it with 2014 and specially 2009s great changes.dans79 wrote:Unfortunately, I don't think you are. Several here, as well as pundits and various members of the grid didn't expect the rule change to affect the front of the grid. Personally I think the midfield is where the shake-up will happen.danielk wrote: I hope im wrong!

I have predicted that some time ago, in fact they are allowed to make any kind of array all the way down. Though that probably wouldn't do the rear wing any good.noxroxafox wrote:A double T-wing! Smart!
Yes, I'm very curious about the T-wings since they're higher then the rear wing itself. I wonder what the air will do, I think it'll flow back on the rear wing to give an extra downforce push on it. Or, it flows over it (not on it) so the T-wing functionates as an extra 'rear wing'Jef Patat wrote:I have predicted that some time ago, in fact they are allowed to make any kind of array all the way down.
