So the Sauber looks just like a Williams from ahead. Great.

Cooling problems?

A broken exhaust clip, apparently. So problems again for McLaren.

Motorsports trend for 2024: everything is a bad taste joke now

Have to laugh at how Toro Rosso Honda are reeling off laps with no issues at all whilst McLaren are still struggling to put a good run in! And running the hyper soft tyres - are they lacking pace?

Save the harder tyres for when the rest of the car also lasts.

Honestly, Honda may have developed a decent engine that matches the Renault performance. Especially considering Renault have said they focused everything on reliabilty and their engine's top performance is the same as last year...

Ferrari, Merc and RBR seem pretty solid.

The Honda is pretty impressive so far. Done far more laps than previous seasons in testing.
Maybe McLaren had a bigger part in the issue than they would like to admit

Probably Mclarens insistence on having a "size zero" car had a major affect on engine reliability.

I love it. I'm sure the good folks at Honda are hard at work to redeem themselves from the total failure with McLaren, as McLaren continues to struggle. It's still early to say for sure but my suspicions, that McLaren were at fault at least as much as Honda were, look to be confirmed in the next month.

Honda looks good so far, especially in terms of reliability, but to claim that they've matched or even surpassed Renault in terms of performance is a step too far, in my opinion.



Their motive was that this was the best way to make the most of the cold days, since it's easier to warm these tyres.

This is the weather at the track

Makes the winter testing in Bahrain seem like not such a silly idea

Logistics apparently rules Bahrain out (too long to get parts flown over mid-week).

It's just one of those things. This isn't usual weather for Europe at the start of March. I think the only tracks that are viable right now are Valencia (not much warmer), Jerez (16 Celsius and pissing with rain) and Portimao (16 Celsius and pissing with rain). Paul Ricard is currently 6 Celsius with a ferocious wind. Everywhere else is below zero.

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.

That's global warming for ya

Pussies, there's a snow-less racing line, they could've raced

Is this a common bug? I can't seem to get my reply outside of the quote when there's a twitter tag inside

They could maybe drive with wet weather tires and learn something? No? Too obvious?
