Indeed JP on top. Perhaps we can find out more about the engine in the press release of McLaren, but I haven't received it yet.

Mclaren's have a tendency to improve more relative to other teams as the season progresses, so I wouldn't bet against them not winning at least a few races this season.

This might be a stupid question but does anybody have any relative information on F1 engines on dyno's, showing how much power they have and what the curves look like, I doubt there is any info on it, but maybe you guys might know another website that might have it.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Well apparently, iread this somewhere...

Montoya's time, it should be noted with a hefty degree of cynicism, was set near the end of the day while making short runs on new tyres.

Not a chance m3, that info is carefully guarded. And any info that eventually does leak out, will be obsolete news, because the pace of development is rapid. Sorry, but power and torque curves relative to RPM is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the engine factories.

I'll agree with that, but somewhat Mclaren needs super glue to get that car to the chequred flag in peace :lol:
