My biggest worry is McLaren getting jumped in the pits, they haven't had great pit stops this season.

We'll see, this isn't a track that is hard on the power units, there's not much full throttle sections, most of it is part throttle.

Has McLaren signed a deal with Adidas? I see Adidas logo on Alonso's gloves in this video. Never noticed it before

Laughable really that anyone would think that, then have the guts to make it into words that other people can read.

My worry is that there will be 2 Honda failures and that fuel saving will be so high that both cars will drop many positions during the race. That's assuming they even make it to a position to drop positions because there's still FP3 and qualy to go.

That's what everyone including McLaren should be worried about.
The power of Red Bull Powertrains!

Don't have to worry about feul savings @ hungry. Easy to get to the end of the race with 100 liters.

The reliability with theheat is a concern..

McLaren hasn't had an engine related failure during the race since Canada. Their reliability has definitely improved.

I guess you would know, sorry I ever doubted you. I was simply going by the last 6 races where they've had average pit stops at best, losing about a second compared to the others. But my words are meaningless, let's look at the cold hard facts.

The data says they could definitely be better.


I find funny you talk about fuel saving when Silverstone is a fuel thirsty circuit and they didn't complain about fuel saving then, and Hungary is one of the lowest consumption wise on the calendar. I guess you know something we don't.

I was wrong about the chassis though, McLaren made a hell of a chassis, once that PU gets up to snuff McLaren will be proper competitive.
