2017 Mclaren F1 Team - Honda

[HPD]

The work is not finished in the factory and already want motor evolved in track? lol
Is the same PU, only with new elements

Satoshi Nakamura: "We had an oil leak just before the break to eat, and we lost time on the track." "Yes, we do not worry too much." "In fact, I prefer to run into these test problems, and as such, the incident does not much importance"
"Today was the first day of testing after the Hungarian Grand Prix at Hungaroring, and the team has used extra time on the track to test new parts for the chassis, while we have tested new elements in the power unit. Our goal has been to gather as much information as possible, and work to improve both the performance and reliability of the power unit facing the second half of the season "

Llando Norris just did 1:17.8, which is the same as Vandoorne's Q3 time. That makes me think they are testing some new PU bits today. https://twitter.com/F1/status/892704588851236865

So the rumours start to be published on the media http://www.marca.com/motor/formula1/201 ... b458f.html

Or Lando is as fast as his "Uncle" - the great Chuck Norris

Lando Calrisian??

I think Mclaren would be willing to take some penalties in a few races if it meant more power as it would increase their potential points haul in the other races.

As we speak the next evo of Honda engine has been tested, rumours said yesterday, probably the evo for Spa which will bring another 15hp and also is rumored that Honda is working in another evo by October that could bring around 30hp or more, but they are just rumours

It may be because of ultra soft tyres but at the end he does well

McLaren is the one testing aero updates that seem to be positive. Honda is still trying to fix vibration problems from the start of the season and it's still not working.

...but it looks like Alonso is at war whit Honda.

May I ask the reason you got that feeling when he´s not criticized Honda in past GPs?

No Honda member at his birthday party in Mclaren garage.

How about that Vandoorne ->

2. GB Lando Norris McLaren 1:17.385 +0.261 91
9. BE Stoffel Vandoorne McLaren 1:17.894 +1.618

How about that Vandoorne ->

2. GB Lando Norris McLaren 1:17.385 +0.261 91

On ultrasofts, with a few upgrades , a much more rubbered track. It's not really representative, Is it? But it's still really really impressive.

Well this what Autosport said:

For Renault to evaluate Kubica properly, and with track evolution at the Hungaroring since the race apparently not making much of a difference, it ideally needs to put him through a qualifying and race simulation this afternoon

So, it's mainly skill and some may come from the update. It's enormous and this isn't the news Vandoorne was waiting for. Made a better impression in one session than Vandoorne this whole year.

If that kid did 17.3 i would go crazy and say Alonso could do a 1.16.698 whit this new spec engine and US.

To give an information, they are saying that these days it is very hot, about 7° C more than the weekend. That is why the journalists say that the track does not improve. (If I'm wrong, correct me)

The track improves (more rubber, higher temp) - unless higher temps would get them above the working temp of course, but hotter air should be worse for the engines.

Rookie driver, give him and the car credit. Only thing i'd say was that it was on Ultra's but still, i think there is lots of positives from that time.

Lower track temps are generally better for fastest laps.
