2018 McLaren F1 Team - Renault

[johnny comelately]

McLaren having chasis/powerunit intergration once again. When Mercedes launched their first V6T, they left a big margin of error for cooling. I do not understand why McLaren doesn't leave a margin for error for testing and incrementally slim the bodywork after real world measurements. Because right now they have to redesign the packaging and bodywork. I know every tenth counts but a DNF is worthless. This doesn't look good for the brand and much more important this kills internal moral. Because everyone thought that with Renault they would turn things around. This test has been a shock through there system. There is a bit of stubbornness going on at McLaren, making the same mistakes over and over. It is goes against the DNA of McLaren as an excellent engineering company.

Lets all hope these are just teething problems and they all will be fixed come Melbourne.

Copy - Paste - Woking...you've got the job

Completely different aero department, completely different aero concept. Explains all the differences between 2017/18 and '14. Different management too.

They did say they'll address cooling somewhat in the upgrade for Australia. Let's see what they come up with

if Alonso does a 1.17 this afternoon everybody will calm down

Why?

[Alonso Fan]

Why?

Even though testing times aren't representative and bla bla bla the media still go on to make premature conclusions even while stating that laptimes are irrelevant. So a 1:17 lap time would probably cause people to jump to somewhat more positive premature conclusions

What the hell do you think why..

[marvin78]

Perhaps I wanted a simple answer to my question. There is no reason for calming down because of one good time. I don't know why everyone is upset about some unimportant stuff in the first place but why someone should calm down because of a worthless time in testing is also a good question.

So now you should calm down.

That's one unreliable but fast car whit basic aero on.

Any idea of how long the stint was that Fernando set his quickest time?
