Nothing Wrong with Alonso's driving this year.BeardedAce wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 20:48Alonso's holy quest against Honda has sapped all energy out of him this year. Things will be back to normal next year, with him scoring twice the number of points than his teammate.
He also reminded Vettel that he hasn't forgotten about Vettel's "Stupid" comment. Vettel had it coming.
Why don't you calm yours first and set a example for us all? Noone's beyond criticism, Alonso is a great driver but ain't perfect. Stop blowing up every time anyone criticizes him even slightly
Yes not that far, only a reputed 60hp...
A figure that has been inflated many times by spanish media and Mclaren aficionados. Honda says they can overtake Renault this year with the final spec 4 update. The update is supposed to bring 30-40hp as i heard. I expect the current gap to be somewhere near that figure.

Hmm, BBC probably knows more about Honda PU than Honda itself i suppose.Alonso Fan wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 15:42You mean, mentioned by the BBC
If I am not wrong Alonso was running the updates, so I guess they haven´t worked well.HPD wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 19:23In my opinion I think that Alonso had a more aggressive configuration for rain.
I'm not saying it's an excuse for Alonso. But it was very slow compared to Vandoorne.
The problem is that Suzuka Vandoorne has a new engine and will penalize. (I'm not sure)
I like Vandoorne, congratulations!
I dont know where you guys concluded that Honda said that. As far as I remember, Hasegawa said that matching Renault was the goal for the end of this season. Which would be actually great, but I don't think they will have time though. But more important than that, it's is a goal, something that they aim for, they didnt promise that.Sayeman wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 15:41A figure that has been inflated many times by spanish media and Mclaren aficionados.

And Honda may not be bringing any Hardware updates but software optimizations can make a difference. Renault found 1.5sec worth of laptime without even making any hardware changes.

This is as much of a guess as "Mclaren fans" believing that their chassis is equally good as Red Bull's. We simply don't know, we don't have the the benchmark for comparison. The only thing known is that the Honda Pu, as for now, is trailing far behind the rest.
