    Looks like Mclaren-Honda had a good day today.

    Well, better anyway. It was tough to get much worse.

    The Honda sounds different compared to others when it's running right. It howls and kind of reminds me of their V10 and V12 from 90s which again sounded different back then to other V10's and V12's.

    yay
    Honda must have faith that what they're doing will pay off... Best of luck to them.

    Nice to see Bottas ahead of Lewis, though not on the same tire...

    Hopeful Ferrari does indeed have an edge on mb.

    Did Honda hire real engineers or just people from a certificate program? It's amazing to me they can't get a reliable PU. Honda is/was synonymous with reliability. And they're having problems in Indycar as well.

    Must be playing the long game, because they've held this position since throwing their hat into the ring.

    Just to reiterate, Mc should've kept Merc power.

    "The oil tank was quite an amateur problem we had that day," he said.

    When asked whether he was able to take Barcelona's Turn 3 flat out, Alonso also made a joke about the lack of performance.

    "Oh yeah, for us, not only Turn 3," he smiled. "For us nearly all the corners are flat."

    Ferrari on top today. More gremlins for McLaren, which should've kept Mercedes power...

    I was pretty hopeful for Honda a few years ago as I think their presence as well as teams in general from other parts of the world are great for F1, but this just isn't going well for them at all.

    At this point, it seems like it's been a colossal waste of money for both parties, and a ton of missed opportunity for McLaren (which should've kept Mercedes power).
