2017 F1 general testing thread

I tought that Sauber will be the new Manor this year, but seems that Mclaren is taking their place. Will that car finish a race?

[Cenzo]

McLaren-Honda must be disqualified.
They cannot manage 10 laps straight... probably during races they will be moving chicanes and way off the 107% on qualifying !
This years the cars are overall FASTER, they just cannot match any pace in terms of speed and reliabilty !
That's insane

I admit i am fan of Ferrari, but I really start to feel sorry for McLaren...all this trouble with this engine ...and i can't even imagine what the @#$%#%#$ those japanese engineers are doing. Alonso must be in Jedi mode.

Apparently McLaren is training the pit crew and making fast assembly mechanisms for the engine. Their aim is to be able to change PU with every tyre change in order to finish the race.

To add more pain: where was Renault today?

We got Vandoorne back out, but I'm not saying anything anymore ..

Hahahahaha you didn't need to...it broke down again!

Perhaps I am the Jinx for the McLaren-Honda team!

Palmer did 31 laps, Kyvat 34 and Ricciardo 41 so they did a decent mileage.

Moreover from Albert Fabrega Twitter:

"Red Bull hará un filming day en el Circuit el próximo domingo en el que podría probar la especificación final d Australia."

"Red Bull will do a filming day in the Circuit [I think he's referring to this track] next sunday in which they will try Australia spec"

By the Spanish GP, these cars will be in the 1:16.000. Damn, they become super fast.

[Sevach]

That is a metal grinder, that thing is eating itself...

[Wass85]

Bottas quicker than Hamilton on the softer tyre. That lap from him yesterday was very special indeed.
