So Alonso is worth more to McLaren than a 10hp update at least around this track.

Also can the new spec let alone the old survive a race distance? One could only manage 4 practice sessions. Sigh

İt is mgu-h which made problem many time.
I think Van Doorne is not a Mclaren level driver. Of course we have to see race pace but it looks like he is not that level

Yes it was new on the new spec. Now Alonso runs with old one

McLaren signed Vandoorn for 2018 so McLaren obviously think he's a McLaren level driver.

If Vandoorne doesn't improve, he's out of the end of the year.

Yeah but I am not mclaren spokesman
In the other hand there is a statement from Bullier about his performance says he couldn't match expectations

Really you guy with 10 Bhp or 30 bhp are too much.
I think Alo would be faster than Van even if Van's McLaren had a Merc PU in it.

Alo made a mistake in S2 on his last lap (lost 3 10ths from his previous best), otherwise he would have been in Q3.

Vandoorne said on Dutch television it isn't even sure that the new spec is better, lol. The only positive thing is that the McLaren chassis is great.

He said after his final lap on team radio it is better. But it sounded like one of those moral speeches.

I'd say that too if I had a faster PU and was still almost 2 10th down on the other driver. On top of that if Alo had another run he would have been another 2 10ths faster.

Van should shut his trap and drive cause in my opinion the PU is better than his driving!
