2017 Mclaren F1 Team - Honda

[GoranF1]

very good times if its true from alonso matching on sector 2 the top teams ..i think the track with high brake zone at the end of s/f straight and after first 3 corners straight help for not loose so much on sector 1 ..and the car its not only 100hp less from top engines...the gap its 130-160hp ..on quali mod ..with mix of downforce levels...renault have 45-60hp less from mercedes and 60-80 more than honda ..its my calculate

. I think the gap is 134.76hp.....based on my television viewing.

It won't be long before the first people claim the power deficit to be 200+ bhp.

if honda gets the power right that chasis will for sure fight will red bull asap. ferrari/merc are bit head.

I certainly hope so. I just hope a good engine doesn't expose weaknesses in the chassis

btw does anyone have access to the leader board for fp2 with all sector times? all I can find is final lap times

I'll bite. This bloke I met down the pub told me that his friend has a cousin who once ate a meal at the same restaurant as Alonso's personal trainer and he said that apparently they're actually 202 bhp down on even the Renault

This current gap with that much power difference, I cant imagine how kind of dominance will come from McLaren Honda when Honda make equally powerful engine.

Painfull to watch this ....engine so bad.

[Alonso Fan]

I think that's wishful thinking. if I've learned anything this season so far, it's not to do that
