as far as i understand that would be theoretically possible. but, if you do this for example at the first race, you'll only have spec 1 engines avaiable for the season. i guess you want to be flexible to an extend. you never really know what happens, especially when maldonado is someone you occasionally fight :)

sounds like a good idea. the last time they copied someone and alonso was driving for them played out superb. maybe that's alonsos exit strategy? :lol:

exactly. i don't think they'll bring more updates during the season and that's why they bring so many new pus this race.
i think they don't expect to be needing so many engines. they think "6 races? so 2 power units will do it", but then one blows up and the plan is screwed.

Hopefully we will see some rain to mix the things up, otherwise MCL will run another test session.

This track is where Honda scored their first F1 victory in '64 or '65. Tough place to revisit in the current circumstances.

Funny, then the Honda V12 was probably the most powerful unit in the field. What a 180 today...

Combine 2 of these V6T's together and you might be getting nearer the most powerful :P
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Limit the fuel (total/pressure) to 100KG and see how fast they are and how many races they finish.


Took 212 KG of fuel to run the Canadian GP in 92.

P8 and P9 is encouraging. Especially considering how slow they were on the straights and how long the straights are it is nice to see some pace.
