Some say they are changing suspension

Could also be suspension and floor change for after lunch...

Smoke screen.... have to wait for some sort of confirmation later

Maybe a silly question, but does the engine need to be taken out in order to change the suspension/floor?

No, the complete Rear Suspension/Gearbox/RW assembly (on the right side of the Picture) has been taken off the Car. So i don't think it's just Suspension, but would prefer to be wrong.

It's only been 34 Laps......

The picture doesn't actually show the engine out. But according to SKY it seems engine related - Whether or not this is just them parroting other journo's who knows. Rather wait for team confirmation.

Can Honda this year break the engines/season record?

2015: 12 engines
2016: 8 engines
2017: (I expect the first penalties in Canada, so 1 new engine per 2 races)

PD: Also, it's going to be a sensational battle between Sauber and McLaren Honda for the 7th position in the Constructor's Championship.

Honda failure. Another one.

No japanese around the engine, relaxed mechanics working in the suspension it seems ? With that photo, it doesn't seem an engine change, but who knows, lets see.

Well maybe the prepared a whole new Rear Assembly with new Parts. That could explain things as it would be easier to assemble the whole thing beforehand and change it in one go. Would save them Time if it was really about suspension changes.

Autosport confirms engine change. This sounds like bad news as this is already a reinforced engine. Hopefully not the same failure as day 2 and something that's easy to fix.

Well, business as usual it seems....

Have Honda or McLaren confirmed to Autosport that it is engine issues?

[ollandos]

BMW sooner than later .....

[Thunder]

Apparently EB confirmed on the F1 Livefeed. Can't watch it from here though....

At least the mechanics are going to get really good at changing engines.
