Would you prefer a wall of text detailing harvesting and deployment algorithms, strategies, fuel delivery rates, pressure ratios, blowdown % vs electric super charging, differential entry and exit mapping, brake by wire strategies? Come on man, lighten up.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great to hear. He seems to get the Grip with the Car and deserves a chance to show how good he really is. Also good for the Team to plan ahead with a Driver they know.

Good to hear VAN will be racing with Mclaren in 2018. Yes, he had a rough start this season, especially after last years debut at Bahrain where he scored his first and teams's first for the season point replacing Fernando. However, I believe he deserves a second chance.

Very pleased for Van! Nice.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Wasnt too impressed with 3/4 of the his races, but the last few he has improved. Will be interesting to see how he does with a competitive car in the future.

Seems they're both getting updates, just Vandoorne is taking a whole new PU. There's one reliability component that Alonso isn't getting just yet. So apparently this is spec 3.5? 3.6 in Vandoorne's case.

It's probably the MGU-H that's got a reliability upgrade, I'd guess McLaren expect Alonso has a chance of scoring points. So he keeps the old spec and Vandoorne gets to be the test mule given he's got a grid drop. Whichever part it is, sounds like Alonso will be getting it at the next race.

The update is worth 0,1s according to Hasegawa
Not sure if I should laugh or cry. Un-believable.

That is in absolute ratio, I think this update is also focus on readability, and with more readability comes more pace...
