hahaha is the dumbest excuse I readWhen Hasegawa asked what had happened at the stop of Fernando Alonso, which was slower than usual and made him lose positions, the response he received was one more reproach. "We've had so many engine problems that we can not even train the wheel changes," they released.
I do hope this is not true, it would be pathetic if they have reached such a level of stupidity and childish attitude.HPD wrote: ↑03 Oct 2017, 15:35hahaha is the dumbest excuse I readWhen Hasegawa asked what had happened at the stop of Fernando Alonso, which was slower than usual and made him lose positions, the response he received was one more reproach.

Unless some good updates are introduced I see both cars out of Q3, or at least one. 2 Ferraris+2 Mercedes+2 RB+ 1 or 2 FI+1 Hulk, being positive there could be one place for them.diffuser wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 22:12SEPANG Lap data

Almost 50% more full throttle time at Suzuka. That's what Really hurts the Honda PU.
Exactly. Alonso has lost a few points( single digits of course) because of shitty pitstops and strategy.
But it hasn't been solved in years.
McLaren see themselves as a big team, so even if your chassis or engine isn't that good, you should be at least capable of doing good stops.
Pit stops are the least of their worries at the moment. The crew aren't at the highest level of motivation but might get better next year as the results improve.
I remember that first Alo years of McLaren. they have company rules which decide Fernando and ham's haircut. I remember that Montoya said about Dennis "he is like a friend outside of work but when you back work he is completely different man." These are extreme exemples but (I don't know how it's said in English ) this is not match working ethic. You know Williams also not fighting to become WCC but doing great stops. I think McLaren have management issues and it's near to to us to see changing some names we are talking about generally
