This is heading the 2015 Red Bull Renault direction very fast.

Where did you read that?
I'm having a google to try and find- unless I misread (wishful thinking!)

Apparantly the issue is related to the shape of the oil tank. Why oh why has this not been spotted at the design stage?

It's like we have to watch Honda trial and error in front of our very eyes

Autosport Live:

It’s worry to see Honda say that there are concerns about its oil tank based on what happened yesterday. To discover an oil tank shape is potentially incorrect suggests something is seriously wrong as normally it only shows up as a pickup problem in fast corners. To discover it on an installation lap at lower speeds suggests it’s a fundamental problem. The oil tank is vital to the engine and something most teams have a very good understanding of and very good test rigs to simulate all the forces and flows. So for McLaren and Honda to come to the first test session with a potential problem is a concern. It seems they are still missing out on the basics.

Guys, this is just testing. And it's just the second day and it is better to have the issues now than later. :wink:

With the demise of Manor, i think Mercedes would be happy to have a replacement customer. It would be a good time for Zak to catch Toto.

Rather with the demise of Ron Dennis McLaren should have shut F1 racing shop too.

If the performance doesn't pick up this year, I'd put money on Alonso leaving before the end of the season.

If he finds the car not enough exciting even before.
