More details about McLaren's technical leadership changes are becoming public as it has now become clear that Toro Rosso's highly valued technical director, James Key, is set to join McLaren in the same role.
Whenever you see an article that quotes Diario Gol, you can safely ignore, it's not credible. Even to the uninformed, it's clear it's just wild speculation.Bisonas wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 10:18http://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-hol ... os-future/

Indeed, but now theoretically the first 6 positions are far so they need very mixed races to achieve a podium. Anyway, as you have said the basis is decent and if the updates work well they can be there and just wait for their chances.proteus wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 15:59Well, if Vettel and Hamilton would have crashed in Australia, there would be a podium finishVasconia wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 15:18Well not a miracle, but they need a truly chaotic race because the gap with RB is still big.mclaren111 wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 13:01Autosport:
Speak of misleading headlines !! It's really is too early to make a statement like that.
Our old friend Gary Anderson.. To achieve it, they dont really need to be there, its enough if you are right next to it and claim it if something goes wrong in the front.
But with all jokes aside, they are far from it right now. Australia is a circuit that doesnt really show where are the cars actually. I, was for sure certain that in 2014 great things are coming since both cars scored podium finish and we all saw what happened after that. Haas, Renault and Mclaren are close together, with Haas curently leading the pack, but Mclaren did a tramendous leap forward, from dredfull 2017 season. Haters will still hate, and troll and bellitle them, but progress is aparent. And it is great to get such a decent start, even though luck intervened for it.
Step by step, day by day.

I know they've very careful about showing upgrades (and they're generally not even made until the last minute so they can get more development time) and they don't load them until the last minute in case of prying eyes, so if they're ready and have had enough time to transport, and yet not going on the car this weekend, then something else is stopping them from using them.
Bullshit, I also don't believe McLaren still pays Alonso 40 million yearly. Zak and Fernando are homies and I can see them working together for years, which is the plan as far as I know. McLaren needs Alonso and nobody else wants him, sounds like a pretty good combination.Bisonas wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 10:18http://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-hol ... os-future/

Don't remember Alonzo passing Grosjean under braking into the hairpin after the first straight ? Then Grosjean, a few laps later, retiring cause of braking ?daren_p wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 21:24From the sounds of it, they were running on the conservative side in Melbourne so here is hoping that they get these issues ironed out & can extract more from the p/u as well in the coming races.Ground Effect wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 20:44Yes, Bahrain is a different track, but it's more of a power track, with the straights. I think they'll still be strong there, Ferrari were strong last year... and it's last years Ferrari...
Was this seen before or after the first test? Just wondering if it could be an engine cover to deal with the rumoured overheating turbo and burns on the current engine cover.
I concur...
