Only two laps for McLaren...

There is no other word other than ''Crisis'' for Honda now. The MGU-H issue looks like a terminal one, one for which they do not have a short term fix.

F1i's livetiming finally on

Only two laps for McLaren...

And According to AMuS the Chassis sits in the Box with no PU attached to it. The Optimist in me hopes it was planned and they will bolt in a Test PU now, but then why drive 2 Laps with an old PU this morning?

To ward off the evil I guess.

İs this the new idea

Engine change for Turvey

McLaren and Honda are changing the engine in Oliver Turvey's car after new reliability issues have hit them in Bahrain. A water leak in the Energy Recovery Systems is the cause for all the trouble this time.

So the same problem as Vandoorne had on Sunday....

And there goes another half Day of Testing....

Hamilton's been in the pits for too long I think.Has recorded more laps than Force India and Toro Rosso.
How much time remaining for today?

[Thunder]

Any sign of Turvey? Changing PU's doesn't take that long.

Absolutely nothing.Well the session is being interrupted constantly, but I don't think that's to blame.

Changed topic title to include inseason testing as well.

I think mechanics of mclaren also thinks all their works for free. They change engine and after a couple of lap they have to do it again.

[santos]

The engine he was using was the new one but the problem was an water leak from the ERS... They have problems everywhere. Must be some kind of a vírus.
