Dont worry...Honda will fail on Sunday, the Mercedes talk will be back soon.
And the whining and moaning will make a return. "We would have definitely won the grand prix if we had a Mercedes engine, Trust us!"

Meanwhile Alonso - "It's the Engine, Engine blew" on the radio

He stated on this forum that deal was done already and he will talk to me when publish, I am waiting he face his bs

This is his quote: It's happening, I'll speak to you when it's announced. Page 247 of this tread if you want to check
Strong words from him yes but personally I took that with a pinch of salt. Just another person on a forum speculating.
He made it personal on first place, so I brought him back his BS. Hopefully in future He would be a bit more acceptable on different views and opinions on the forum. That this it is a Forum to discuss about F1. Anyway let's see how this Honda engine progress in Spa hopefully we would have better idea of it

Fair enough.
The power of Red Bull Powertrains!

If power development is proved what kind of fail we can see. Blown engine? I think it is not matter.
İf this update is "base/first half" of coming update and current update had proved ( I think so ) this means that coming update has good base and will work. So everything is okey

Eric Boullier:
"Taking the lap-times at face value today, we looked reasonably competitive, despite neither Fernando nor Stoffel [Vandoorne] really feeling that their MCL32s were dialed in properly."
Boullier expects that more can be extracted from both the engine and car set-up ahead of Sunday's race.
“There’s still a fair amount of work for us to do this evening if we’re to maximise the set-up ahead of qualifying tomorrow, but I feel encouraged that we’re on the front foot and carrying good momentum after the first day of running."

Martin Brundle from Sky also said Mclaren was taking the high speed corners very well and looked an allround well balanced car :D :D :D

Alonso Switches Back to ‘Spec-2’ Honda Engine before his third training session

During the night, the engineer of the Japanese manufacturer discovered a malfunction of the MGU-H, so he must return to the previous specification of the entire drive unit. Alonso gets the specification No. 2, which is about 15 - 20 hp weaker (according to the original data the difference should be higher).

There is no penalty due to the already used components. His teammate Stoffel Vandoorne continues with a new version.

So where it is your Mclaren-Mercedes deal? Or wait a moment there is not.

Remember when I said the update could possibly be 10bhp and everyone was downvoting me and rubbishing it as complete bullshit?
