I could see him re upping if the car continues to makes progress and McLaren is like 4th or something in the WCC. Especially if they throw money at him because of how much Honda loves him. I'd be surprised if he goes to another team at this stage of his career unless it is for like a guaranteed somewhat legit chance at another WDC (Mercedes, Ferrari? RBR??) which isn't happening baring something strange. He would probably just retire if the car is a shitbox again.

I have special insight into Fernando because I follow him and his girlfriend on instagram.

I think Honda was very clearly the issue with recent cars so it is hard to say how competitive the rest of the car is. I mean, it obviously probably isn't but it is hard to see the other warts when the engine was so bad.

How does the actual engine manufacturing work in this part of the season? Do they just crank a few dozen of the fuckers out in case they need them or do they just make a bunch of parts to be assembled pretty much as needed?

I really don't know how time intensive building an F1 engine from scratch is after it has been designed.

Lewis's inauthenticity is why he's authentic to me. He comes across as this deeply insecure guy with a persecution complex that's also ridiculously good at racing. He's fascinating in the same way infamously bad-temper drivers like Reutimann and Mansell were.

Yes, I'm not a Lewis Fan or a Sky Presenter or anything but I do like that he is more interesting than many of the other drivers, who were seeming bred in a lab to give happy corporate PR statements.

Number of engines blowing up are a bad metric as well if certain teams are turning theirs down to actually get track time and maybe to avoid bad press. My guess is that is what McLaren are doing now given Alonso's bitching to the press.

Cranking up an engine all the way and seeing when it explodes is probably a fairly smart thing for some teams to be doing right now.
