Not yet.. at least wait for official news about the stoppage and have something more tangible!
Then we can freely panic ....

This McLaren reliability situation is getting untenable. Questions need to be asked internally, and soon, otherwise they are going to spiral into oblivion.

It's OK saying it is nothing to worry about, but for it to happen again on the final day of testing shows they are nowhere near understanding what is going on.Gary Anderson

That turbo was shrilling something serious.

look like turbo failure

[GhostF1]

I'm calling it now, McLaren to blame a £2 hose clamp causing oil to escape the engine and it's caused engine/turbo/mgu-h failure.

[ollandos]

and i think pressure and backpressure settings ....maybe mclaren confuze not only the back wheels and nuts ....

look like turbo failure

If it is turbo then it's good since it's a new problem and not a recurring one and
if it is so then correlation says they went a bit too far with everything and it's teething with new engine !

[Alonso Fan]

If they're decently quick I don't even mind about reliability. If they're unreliable and slow that's a big problem. But yes signs are worrying.

Anything official about the stoppage?

Anything official about the stoppage?

ZB: "I love racing. I'm a racer. Let's hope our potential sponsors didn't see that. Did I tell you I love racing?"

EB: "With Honda we never got the chance to deal with non-MGU failures. This is great testing for us"

PP: "Maybe we can make the back of the car even tighter to stop the smoke pouring out..."
