Ferrari's lack of running on softer tyres is annoying me now.

yes

oh right I tend to forget that I can't attach 2 images
>>74541754
It looks like the time difference between SS and US for this season is smaller than last. Probably due to the requirement to make the US last longer than one quali lap
>>74541783

>>74541769
Holy fuck
>>74541796
Ricci set the 1:20.077 lap on the Soft compound, not SSoft compound.

I still believe in the McLaren dream. If they get the engine working they might battle for third or second in the championship I think. It's okay that the engines break now for it's only testing. WCC by 2020.
Is Felipebaby unJUSTing himself?
>>74542521
what about when Alonso couldn't get on 100% throttle through the long corners during the last test?
McHonda has more than just engine problems ; the chassis is a low grip piece of shit.

>>74542538
Williams aren't sandbagging and/or $troll's money has actually built a GOAT car and Massa might accidentally walk a WDC which would be pottery on multiple levels.

if they took out 500 of the unnecessary airbags and insulation then threw away the entertainment system and replaced it with a simple radio, it'd be light enough to not need a stupid amount of power going through the front wheels
car manufacturers are getting worse as time goes on.
why doesn't anybody make an affordable, lightweight sedan, coupe or sports car that doesn't have a retarded amount of power?

Mazda MX-5 and I guess the Fiat version of that
But otherwise, safety bullshit and the propensity for the average person to want comfort above actual performance. People say they want that, but alot of 'car people' who ride in my car (has no a/c, no safety, old bucket seats) complain about everything.
Power/torque is just a number. It's like saying how much you can lift. Frankly it doesn't matter, but it impresses idiots.
But with the Type R, AWD would fix it too. It's just stupid that it's FWD. Clinging to things for tradition is one thing, but FWD is a downside in all ways (except safety perhaps).

>>74542679
>why doesn't anybody make an affordable, lightweight sedan, coupe or sports car that doesn't have a retarded amount of power?
Hard to make cars light when they keep building them bigger with more equipment and safety features. If the car gets heavier, it needs more power to be faster than the preceding model. You're pretty much stuck with the MX5 or GT86 if you can't stretch to a BMW Z4, Merc SLK or Nissan 370Z

Mercedes is sandbagging hard until Q3. They will do their jewery and turn up their engines to a setting no other Mercedes-powered car has.

What the fresh fuck are Honda doing? It's not like they can be this incompetent right?
Anyone who works or has worked in any sort of design/manufacturing thing that isn't on a conveyour-belt "do this same task and build the same product forever until you retire" kinda thing, surely knows that if different parts of a company, or if even 1 person responsible for designing something is located elsewhere, it generally ends up in miscommunication or simply time wasted because communication is not as efficient. I honestly think it must be something like this with McLaren and Honda, McLaren requesting a good engine, Honda says ok ok we do good engine we promise u bb, then proceed to sperg out for a few months and simply assure McLaren everything will be fine because they are Honda blah blah, then give McLaren a shitbox engine 3 years in a row and continue the ooo so dishonroaburruru we fire main guy we give new guuy we fix engine ok 300 hp more ok hai

Not everyone is bankruptcymode like Marussia and Sauber, tho I do wish there was an option to use your old chassis to save money. It's probably some game mechanics reason rather than an oversight. It doesn't seem like the tech regs change at all season to season, only the sporting regs, so that's probably why.

How did Honda/Mclaren fuck up so bad? Even if they can't run a test car 24/7 in the offseason, surely they have shaker rigs which would've shown elementary design flaws?
The only way I can figure it is that Honda knows they are so far behind that the only way to build a competitive engine under the current regulations is via some radical breakthrough. They are crippled by a lack of development miles because of MUH ONE TEAM mentality and by the simple fact that they introduced their engine a year after the regulation changes and probably 3 years after Mercedes started theirs.
If Mclaren sticks with Honda they're effectively trying to weather the storm until the next big change, which could easily be years away since this kind of thing hasn't had any serious discussion yet (who knows with Liberty though). That means several more years of Mclaren as a quick yet unreliable midfielder, which would be a shamfur dispray for Honda with the amount of support they have put towards the project. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Honda pulls out well before they build a respectable engine, which would certainly put Mclaren in an interesting position.
I really wonder what Mclaren will do if Honda goes. For the last few decades they have almost always been a de facto manufacturer team and I can't see them willing to become a #2 team to someone with an actual team. Even if they were willing, there might not be a place for them as a strong #2 on another engine. Renault has Red Bull, Mercedes has Williams & FI, and Ferrari has no interest.
I guess Mclaren would end up back at Mercedes, since we know they can produce another team's worth of engines. Plus, I bet Mercedes is so far ahead on their overall package it wouldn't be a threat. The return to Mercedes would be hilarious, I think, since it would make the stain of the Honda experiment all for nothing. Maybe they will white out their statistics for 2015-2020 like they crop those Marlboro logos on the old Mclarens.

>>74543292
Here's a crazy idea, but it could work
McLaren should become an engine manufacturer
They already make their own engines for their road cars (the twin turbo V8 in the P1 is a mclaren engine, based off some old Nissan design that they bought the rights to, but with heavy modification, with help from a private engineering company called Ricardo PLC - no, not ricciardo, so don't make that joke)
They should buy this Ricardo company and pump money into it for f1 engine development - after all that's what Mercedes did with ilmor right?
McLaren have apparently decided they're too good to have anything other than a unique engine, so this is basically their only alternative to Honda, unless they want to be a customer again (which I actually think is a good choice, because it's better than languishing with Honda shit)
But yes imagine if they made their own engine. Ferrari do it. Why not mclaren? Mclaren have a bigger budget than ferrari. Yes I know their business models are completely different, but still, mclaren should do it.

Mazda is actually pushing efficiency pretty hard now in their R&D (even supplying tech to Toyota) and marketing. So out of the Japanese manufacturers, they'd be one of the most likely to be lured by the current F1 engine formula.
Only problem is, they're Mazda, so they can't afford it.

Audi were never going to last in WEC once Porsche showed up.

Is there a mirror for reading Autosport Plus articles? Interested in this article about McHonda http://www.autosport.com/premium/feature/7426/the-crisis-deepens-at-mclarenhonda
The test start to get boring. The teams are obviously afraid to show their true pace and we won't get any quicker times till they are done.
Everybody's focusing on McLaren, but Torro Rosso hasn't done much laps either in this test or the previous. Anybody knows what's wrong over there? Not much talk about them.. I know they had engine problems last week, but one engine can't be the cause of so few laps on the board.
>>74556462
I think making their own engines would be too expensive for McLaren right now as they don't have trillions of cash after a couple of unsuccessful years and the new engines require too much cash, people and other resources to develop, much more than the old V8s. There's a reason why only big car manufacturers produce them (Ferrari have Fiat behind them) and why they eventually refuse any outside help (both Honda and Renault did despite having some trouble).
That said, McLaren's decision to go for a new engine was the only option to challenge for the championship. Now then whether they should have aimed for the championship is another story as it may have been better to stick with the 3/4 place in the CC and wait until better times and regulations. The private teams besides RB lost the political game for this generation, and even RB had to compromise a lot with Renault.
>>74557579
But that's what happens every year, doesn't it? For a couple of years now we just see how many times McHonda have problems and who crashes the most.
>>74557627
Because we all know how Toro Rosso is going to perform, unlike McLaren, you can bet RB/Renault will lend some help to fix those issues.

Like the developed and manufactured the first Formula E power train and then got dropped/priced out of competition.
I have no doubts they could go solo, for how long or how successful are completely different questions. And I have no doubt that McLaren have done many a cost benefit analysis for if it is worth it or not. And it obviously is not.

Well, because that's what is going to happen, even if Ferrari has a better chassis (it's looking possible for reasons I don't quite understand since the all-Italian approach didn't work well for a couple of decades now) - I don't think many doubt Mercedes can still turn up the engine enough to outdrag them at least to some extent.
