Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I guess his comments have come back to bite him, which sorta sucks as the Honda was an absolutely appalling power unit when he was driving it, he had 575 places of penalties in 2015 :lol:

The fact he's been driving Toyotas for the past 2 years didn't help either.

Now the only places he didn't burned bridges is rallying and Nascar, funny that both could get him a shot since Toyota is strong there and can make "a long term relationship"

Surprised there wasn't a press conference about announcing the announcement that they would reveal the paint scheme of the front wing endplate... spraycan.


By the way, did Alolso ever publicly apologize for saying mean things about Honda? Apologizing is a huge deal in east Asia. Maybe that could calm them down a little.

Probably the closest thing you'll get here

Quote:
"It came from a place of frustration and maybe I should not say that, but I didn't say it in the TV pen or the press conference," Alonso told F1 Racing in an exclusive interview about his radio message.

"I was talking to my engineer in a private conversation [which was broadcast]. It was not meant to be public. But the engine was very bad

While some still taunt Alonso for his 2015 comments now Honda is winning races, the two-time world champion feels any driver in his situation would have been critical of the engine's performance.

And he insists he is "very happy" to see Honda back winning races.

"The first year in Jerez [pre-season testing], in four days we did seven laps," Alonso added. "Now Honda wins a race and I receive a lot of messages that read: 'GP2 engine wins now, it should be a sad day for you.'

"I'm very happy, but the engine I had in the car was not the same as the one winning in Brazil.

"If a top driver today goes through the performance that I went through, I could not imagine what they would say. In 2015 I was always fighting to get out of Q1 and had 575 places of penalties.

"I say things that I think and that I believe. That's because I believe those things are the truth. Sometimes I can be wrong. But I don't see things that I do that others are not doing.

"I don't read extra things from what others are saying, but I see mountains and mountains of the things I say..."

A fifth car.

If they're willing to put 5 cars out for the GP...

Ah. The use of the #2 for McLaughlin obscured that.

I like this. The screen still looks a bit weird from the front, but I think it blends in well with this livery (Felix Rosenqvist).

SPAM livery is pretty much identical to last year except that the ARROW beige has been replaced with orange.
