They're just straight up trolling now. No way that does anything except divert research time and money away from more useful poo poo at every other team's factory.

Vandoorne following in Alonso's footsteps and getting a brand new engine.

Christ the Mclaren looks like a F1 car template. Didn't even recognise it until I saw the name on the back of the rear wing.

It looks so bad in that video when it's in the context of all the other cars. It's so insanely generic and uninspired.

I for one like that Alonso even has a test-style liveried helmet for the sessions too.

STR got an awesome upgrade in the livery, the McLaren looks like poo poo, and it appears McLaren-Honda haven't gotten their collective poo poo together yet either. Shame, that, all the F1 magazines I see here have Honda-related stuff on the covers all offseason long (gee I wonder why).

Thats because he sucks and drives for a fraud team, if he drove for a good team like Ferrari or Red Bull he would be ftw.

Also Bottas appears to be struggling to get to grips with the car. Some people were saying he looked fairly scrappy on the race sim and his lap times were all over the map.

2m19.722s OUT; 1m22.986s; 1m27.769s; 1m25.527s; 1m25.346s; 1m25.810s; 1m25.712s; 1m25.358s; 1m25.212s; 1m25.412s; 1m30.788 IN (no change); 1m49.142 OUT; 1m25.241s; 1m25.020s; 1m25.661s; 1m25.859s; 1m25.455s; 1m25.212s; 1m25.502s; 1m25.204s; 1m26.884s; 1m26.907s;1m26.581s; 1m27.754 IN.

Those times seem pretty consistent for a race sim (from Bottas' third stint)

I've got nothing to compare it too but I generally thought being in the range plus or minus a tenth or two would be acceptable. Especially on a track with minimal traffic.

I could see the point that swinging 6-8 tenths of a second on a ~1.30 lap is not really world class i suppose. But yea i'd need to see hammy hamiltons times to compare.
