Yay! One of my favorite circuits on the calendar.

[hakentt]

Already starting to look like two car championship

[BoldUlysses]

^At least they're from two different teams this year.

Come on Bottas.

So I hear that Robert Kubica is wanting to come back to F1 racing? He's been doing a couple of testings with Renault.

with a 2012 Lotus, it would be cool, but he has been out for a long time.... He was racing in the WTCC right?

[auaq]

Yes, he did and also in WEC.

The clip sounded glorious.

[RRocket]

These cars still don't sound great, but even then they are immensely better than the 2014-2016 cars. Sound echoing through the circuit in FP1

[BoldUlysses]

Alonso essentially said that if McLaren isn't winning by September, he'll leave the team. So...no Alonso at McLaren next year then?

[MagneZium]

That's a good sign for McLaren. September is also their deadline for Honda. If no wins by September then Alonso leaves and McLaren also switches to Mercedes. And we all know that if Alonso leaves a team they're world champions immediately after that, that's just a law of nature.

Mercedes is not going to supply them engines, Ferrari either..... so it would be McLaren-Renault, or Honda again....

[auaq]

If Renault, then it would be Mclaren's second time partnership with a French engine manufacturer. First time being with Peugeot engines back in mid 90s.

[BoldUlysses]

First time being with Peugeot engines back in mid 90s.

...and that went SO well, too.

[BoldUlysses]

The fact that Liberty Media is letting them post stuff like this on the official channel is freaking awesome:

i remember one race, Mika Hakkinen's engine blew up on the starting line (at least Honda makes it a couple corners) I think it run Chrysler too right? 1993 i think

Don't think Mclaren ever ran or had a Chrysler/Lamborghini engine. I think that was another team that ran one. Can't think of the name yet.

On a side unrelated note, this battle was intense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Way better than what we're seeing in F1.

I think it was Brundle's engine at the start of the British GP that year, if memory serves.

They seem to have been fans of alliteration: Larousse, Lotus and Ligier all used Lambo engines at one point.

[m3fuz]

Very happy to see Alonso P7 in FP2 yesterday. He's in P6 with 28 minutes left to play in P3 right now.

[burninator]

I hope it translates into good track position tomorrow. I think the hardest part of the McLaren-Honda fiasco is that so many fans really want them to do well. I, for one, would love to see Honda get their shit together and have this partnership work out again like it did in the Senna/Prost days.

[MagneZium]

Oh barf.

Hamilton: you haven't equaled Senna in any way. You just had the best cars fed to you with a silver spoon and the seasons had much more races. You will never even get close to Senna, do not even try to compare yourself to him.

i don't want to imagine what he would say if he gets 3 more..... tying Michael Schumacher's record of 68 poles

[badmonkey]

McLaren Honda return to top step!
