- Thread starter Aiii
- Start date
When I first watched the video from that unfortunate pitstop I literally thought they had some event for the fans and that's why they were messing up and working so slow.
The whole situation was a mess from day1 imo. They wanted to keep Robert but in order to do that they had to give him some opportunities to get behind the wheel. The result of that is a team with two rookie drivers who don't get to drive the car throughout all 8 days of the tests.

For those keeping track: Honda has completed 418 laps so far on a single engine.
Has it been confirmed that they did everything on one engine?
Pace looks fine so really impressive if they've got good reliability.
Alonso doesn't deserve this shit . I think Mclaren will probably fight for the 4th or 5th place this year (constructors) .
Honda PU has been racking up 6000km of trouble free running on the dynos, that reliability seems to have carried over to the track. Though they still haven't used maximum power in testing according to Tanabe.
Beautiful sight, I wonder if Alonso still thinks Honda will fail to finish in Australia?

He probably thought 2007 was going to be the start of something big for him...
"We won't arrive at Melbourne with desirable reliability levels"

Same here. I sure hope it's not indicative of the world feed broadcast for 2018.
- Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari, hyper-soft) 1:17.221 - 157 laps
- Fernando Alonso (McLaren, hyper-soft) 1:17.784 - 93 laps
- Carlos Sainz (Renault, hyper-soft) 1:18.092 - 45 laps
- Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull, super-soft) 1:18.327 - 92 laps
- Romain Grosjean (Haas, ultra-soft) 1:18.412 - 181 laps
- Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes, medium) 1:18.825 - 104 laps
- Brendon Hartley (Toro Rosso, hyper-soft) 1:18.949 - 156 laps
- Esteban Ocon (Force India, hyper-soft) 1:18.967 - 123 laps
- Charles Leclerc (Sauber, hyper-soft) 1:19.118 - 75 laps
- Sergey Sirotkin (Williams, soft) 1:19.189 - 105 laps
- Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes, super-soft) 1:19.464 - 97 laps
- Lance Stroll (Williams, soft) 1:19.954 -27 laps
Let's take 1:18.8
Now let's look at this twitter post.
0,8+0.4+0.6+0.7 = 2.5 seconds available
Bottas can do a 1:16.5 easily. Merc OP as fuck. Season over :D
nope. Looks like a little amount of low fuel running from Silver arrows
Mercedes could have got in the 15s if they'd pushed, tyre corrected:
Bottas 1:16.275 0.000
Ricciardo 1:16.977 0.702
Raikkonen 1:17.221 0.946
Amus says the Ferrari has worse fuel efficiency than last year? The season is done.
Bottas 1:16.275 0.000

Jesus Christ.
Guess they want to figure out the medium tire.
Tyre correction above supersofts is really pointless
Last year the ultras didn't even deliver the fastest laps in testing because they couldn't get them to work that well at Barcelona. This year's tyres are SOFTER.
Stroll is nearly a second slower than Sirotkin. Jesus Christ, we got Palmer 2.0 here.
Merc have never got as much benefit from softer tires as some teams do.
Except with the money to hang around as long as he wants. Renault actually has ambitions to win.
Stroll still needs to improve a lot to be compared to Palmer.
Mercedes is now trying to be the best and the worst at the same time - to spice things up for the new season.
I understand the dislike for Stroll and his family and have no affection for him myself, but this is bullshit. I didn't see Palmer get a podium in a very mediocre car. I didn't see Palmer take a car that was complete shit in the wet and put it on the front row.
Dislike Stroll all you want, I do, but statements like this just make you sound like a complete fucking moron.

Let's try and not call each other names, even if we disagree.
Yeah, it only took him 4 years, driving in a top team and beating a weak field. Stroll has a better junior career. He got put into F1 too early.
