Mexico GP looks like the most fun to attend from the TV perspective. Aside from being super loving rich and at Monaco I guess.

Is there any indication they can like fix the shaking thing or is the engine terminally hosed from a design standpoint? I remember reading pre-testing that they thought it was going to be fairly competitive and it making GBS threads itself in Spain seemed to have genuinely surprised them.

quote:Although Fernando Alonso complained about a lack of power on top of the reliability issues, Hasegawa insisted that the new engine is up on its 2016 performance figures. That is uh not a very encouraging response

A positive answer would have been something like 'We have been turning it down to try to help the shaking problem' not "And as the tyres are wider, the driver may feel that the speed has dropped". Fernando can look at a clock just like anyone else

Yes, like I said that is not very encouraging for McLaren for the entire season. It was possible (to me) that if they fixed the shaking then maybe the engine would be at least competitive but that doesn't sound like the case.

Lance didn't wreck it in earlier practices because he is a pro and knows to save it for the smallest amount of time before qualification

I actually think they will probably have a much better engine by Monaco just because having a bunch of F1 drivers laughing about how poo poo the Honda engine is to the press hopefully will put some meaningful pressure on them. I haven't read anything that suggests there is a fatal design flaw that will prevent it from becoming competitive/reliable like there was in the previous version. I also acknowledge that this is pretty optimistic and there is a good chance I will be hilariously wrong. Plus, even a better engine probably means Alonso is fighting with Massa/Force India for a handful of points each week instead of fighting for podiums.

Rosberg won because Hamilton's engine blew up. Saying he is lazy is all well and good but he lost like 40 something points from his car not working.

He lost in Malaysia when his engine blew up and swung like 20+ points to Rosberg.

What if Lewis Hamilton eclipses Schumacher's records to become the greatest driver of all time and then goes on to be the best rapper of all time? That sure would be something.

How much do reserve drivers even make? iirc Pascal is making like $150k so my guess is that the backups are in the high five figure range.
