2017 Mclaren F1 Team - Honda

[makecry]

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

Yeah because last 2 years were not enough.

This is pathetic.

Alonso should just rage quit .

All top level staff will move too if this goes on.

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

Well then! Time to knock back a role of Oreo's and some Zanex .... maybe a few drinks? .... then go and take a nap.

Again from Autosport.

Speaking in an F1 Facebook Live broadcast, Boullier confirms the Honda engine will "take a few hours", but hopes Vandoorne will return this afternoon.

"It's frustrating for everybody," he adds. "When you don’t have a lot of days of testing you want to make the most of it. It’s frustrating for Stoffel and for us as well."

Asked what percentage McLaren-Honda is at, Boullier replies: "Not big enough. The less we run, the less we learn the cars and the more we run behind on our development programme."

yeah improve time .....at every change ...

[isullivan]

This is unacceptable, and the blame should be on both McLaren and Honda, they are working together for so much time and nothing has changed in any way except maybe getting a bit worse. They deserve all the flame, hate and ridicule.

Electrical issue.

Also PU is still last week's spec.

Google Translate sucks but doeas this say the Engine was last weeks spec? https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 6514348032 Edit: Well i was to late. When are they planning to put the Melbourne Spec in the Car?

[BosF1]

On a side note: I can't remember where I read it, but it was mentioned that a engine change at the beginning of testing took well over 3 hours when they started in 2015. By the end of that season the engine change could be done in 2 hours. It can make the difference between making it to qualifying or not.

With the amount of engine(change)s they are needing during this preseason, they better be good at changing them during the season.

Edit: grammar

[mclaren111]

At 7.41 EB says engine change.

Edit: Late

This also states that the engine they will run this afternoon will be last week's spec.

[GoranF1]

How much time to change PU ?

[a1b2i3r45]

Ah, finally the Honda engine broke. I was wondering what would break first the team's spirit (due to lack of pace) or the Honda engine

No, it just says that the Pu used during this morning session is the same spec as last week. Theres no news as to what spec they ll switch to for this afternoon.

Hopefully...the "Aus spec"

[GhostF1]

Maybe they'll hold off on bringing the new spec engine until day 3 and 4. Stoffel is doing pretty reasonable times on the soft compound on what looks still to be setup testing and on a test engine. Have to stay positive.

Mercedes was sidelined for a majority of Friday also due to an electrical issue, Renault again today, engine change due to sensor issues. Let's not forget Honda are not the only ones with PU niggles at the moment. It seems pretty much across the paddock, except Ferrari's 062 engine seems pretty resilient... so far.

La especificación motor desmontado y del nuevo es misma semana pasada.

This sentence says: The spec of the engine that is being taken out and the new one are the same as last week's.
Key is "y del Nuevo".
