Just 7 short of 100.
Like this GA fellow said, McLaren are hiding behind Honda's underperformance, but they serious problems in the other department too. Cant see them returning to wins in the next 5 years
I don't want to get my hopes up but we haven't looked this good in pre-season in ages.
Good point on the bold part. Playing the blame game. So if they had a MB or Renault PU, then who else would they have to blame??? I think there is more to "JUST THE HONDA PU." Alonso needs to get that lawn chair ready again and take it with him throughout the GP races.
I see them(Mac) dropping Honda or Honda leaving by the end of the year as we should here something mid year about one of them making a drastic change in PU. The glory days of Prost/Senna are over. 5 years is kinda a ways out but it looks like so far that they are going to drop in the back of the pack.

Be that as it may, we, or at least myself, have always known that MB has "extra power" when they need it given there past performance since the intro of the V-6T-Hybrid(some say they had a way early start prior to 2014); and if last year was any indication that they can tap into it (Lewis coming from the back of the pack 2X to clinch a podium finish), then...well...I'll just leave it at that for now....till Melbourne and a couple of GP's.
I'm by no means an engineer or a prophet, but even though I never predicted McLaren would be in such dire straits, I never believed the partnership with Honda would work: the glory days of Prost and Senna were more than 20 years ago, and what has Honda achieved in motorsports in the last years? They were beaten by Chevrolet and Citroen in WTCC, they haven't won the Indycar series since 2013. Not much of a CV, and McLaren themselves aren't that great either

We are all going to witness PROBABLY the worst performance in Mclaren F1 history....probably dropping to the back with the likes of Manor, Caterham, HRT, Marussia (when they were around). Just sad for Alonso but hey, getting paid $40 million to just drive the car and then it breaks down.....not bad from a monetary perspective.

Is that true say Helmut Marko? "Ferrari have very low oil in tank, Vettel start to breaking in front of turn? we far from turn.
I would not go writing off McLaren this year. Yes they have prob no chance of winning the title but they might have a chnace of been 2, 3, or 4th best. I remember in 2014 testing RedBull had a dismall time with reliability and speed but come Australia they were second best. Not sayin McLaren will be second best come Australia but they might be closer to the front than the back that many are predicting..
I am loving how Ferrari are always near top of the time sheets even on the slower tyre. I know there are a lot of variables but it still bods well. FORZA FERRARI

just a little nitpick, but "CLARO" is still listed in the Scuderia page as a sponsor under the PARTNER heading on its main webpage.
I think Philip Morris ends 2018 I believe per their agreement with Ferrari.
I saw that, too. Just a typo, as you can see in the launch photos Claro isn't listed as a partner.

The comparison between the Renault engine during the 2014 year and the Honda engine currently are two separate situations...the HONDA guys look like amateurs right now....AN OIL LEAK???? really???; and its the same engine for the past 3 years. Renault stumbled the first year but got back up!!!
Check out this vid of how this Renault 2017 F1 engine sounds on track testing day....Now this probably the best "SOUNDING" V6T-HYBRID. unless there are others out there I have not heard

What matter to me are the lap times from Ferrari on the yellow stripe tyres which was below 1.20.00, even if people are saying Ferrari was light on fuel which I doubt. They have forgotten that the rubbish token system is no more in place so we can develop our engines also. I am sure we are also not running our engine at full capacity. Next week Ferrari will show some of their hands running the softer tyre - I love the way Ferrari refused to follow Merc bait and run softer tyres.
