What caused Grosjean retirement? Fair question, don´t know what was the problem, but if it was engine related that would be a Mercedes engine failingManoah2u wrote:Mercedes and Ferrari seem to be the only ones this year that are both strong and reliable.
I understand that they will try to keep the first engine alive at least 3 races until the season break after Barcelona. Where they expect to make a great improvement and start using the engine between the 90/100%. I am sure that they will use more than 4 engines this season, but its normal if they want to be ready to be WC contenders next season. This is what they must do.radosav wrote:There will be many burned engines this season by Alonso and Button!

Which means "we can improve this car and be lapped only once". I also think that this car has a lot of potential but only if the engine is good, which we still dont know. But compete with Mercedes? this is too much, at least this 2015, but who knows....zeph wrote:Yes, but then he goes on to say:
"There are areas we need to work on of course, but the basic car is good and hopefully we can keep adding downforce and performance to this car."
