GP-Update: (Testing)

Alonso is the first driver out on track in the McLaren-Honda

That has not happened for a very, very long time !! Hope it is a sign of good things to come

Alonso is P1 (where he truly belongs)

Any signs of the new Rear Wing ??

Any signs of the new Rear Wing ??

no but we are kicking ass.....

[mclaren111]

Kicking ass in testing is all we seem do the last couple of years

We don't get points for that

Any signs of the new Rear Wing ??

no but we are kicking ass.....

Can anyone please explain why the delta to Merc is greater at Silverstone (around ~2.4 sec) compared to the other tracks? Silverstone is not a power sensitive track, more of a track with high and medium speed corners.

And I have to say I've been impressed with Alonso this weekend. He was over shadowed by Button in Austria but Alonso is really leading the way this weekend, shame he had his last time deleted

While Jenson was strong at Austria Alonso never actaully got an opportunity to show what he could do. Let's hope reliability is good all round tomorrow so we can compare.

button's rear wing detached in Q1 at silverstone, couldn't be repaired in time to get a proper run hence he ended up in P17
no comparison again despite button's favourite conditions
frankly I think there is nothing between them

Its similar to last year where all team were more behind Merc than usual....last year Ferrari won the next race in Hungary although they were 1.7 or something like that behind in UK.

I think his time was set on the super soft tyre which explains the half second improvement from his qualifying

Some of the data collected from today’s programme will be used to aid the development of next year’s McLaren-Honda chassis.

Silverstone is also one of the longer tracks on the calendar...the longer the lap, the greater the delta.

I'll give it a go
