In the broadcast Motorsport they write that they change the gearbox in McLaren.

The prospect of Fernando testing the car next week.
Are the Pros more than the Cons ??

I want him to test, personally, i like him and i generally consider him as one of the best up there and i follow his races closely, BUT, hearing the F1 live testing commentary the last few days, most of the guys there really against it.
They think it will do more bad than good in the team overall.
Unbalance the dynamics inside the team, psychological hit on drivers and team if he proves to engineers he is much faster, and the input he gives no matter how much technical or accurate it is,may be in conflict with the feedback from the drivers. So development direction decision will have another variable and become more complicated.
Things like that got me thinking actually, that as much as i want him to test, it may not be the best thing.

Thoughts ??

will buxton is a jackass. he doesnt say anything positive about mclaren. so naturally. hes also against that happening.

edit: hes on sky maybe? so maybe thats not who you are talking about. he loves talking so much, he could probably do both at the same time.

He drove last years car and he know how it behaved, where the flaws were, I think that if he gets a few laps in, it can't be that bad, but only a few, maybe one out of the two sessions of the day.

I agree, he is very biased. He always says how spectacular Ferrari is this year, and how Leclerc excites him etc etc while almost never says anything positive for Mclaren.
But i have to admit, it got me thinking a bit about Fernando testing the car.
