anyone else beginning to think that these days autosport might be better off employing Gary Barlow rather than Gary Anderson ?
You could go back 12 months at last seasons pre season test. He kept talking BS then too.

I would say it's more likely he wanted to get into clean air to feel out the car and took the easiest way he could to get around traffic.

I hope they do. It would give some indication of how the chassis perform at lower speeds.

Their chassis itself is a very good chassis, we should agree on that right? So why is everybody so very negative about a simple issue regarding a wheelnut? Yes, I'm a McLaren fan (since 1998), but come-on, they've build a good chassis last year and it seems its still as good as before (just speculation) so there is no need to be so negative and just stick to the facts right?

Facts are: Sauber has made a fool of themselves (again) and one wheelnut that falls off the McLaren isn't such a big deal. If it really is a design flaw, well atleast they tried to fix something out of the box.

The Renault engine roars as it should and now they can focus on the good stuff: Build a good car. I honestly believe that the MCL33 is a very good car.. :D Or am I missing something?
Your a McLaren fan since 98 wow hard times compared to other big teams since
Yes.. But then again, we have Max Verstappen! :D =D>

Not sure how many spare parts they all have, probably wont risk their whole testing programme going up in smoke.

So has there been a change in rules on Holes in the floor ? As it appears Toro Rosso and Mclaren now have proper holes and not slots ?
