Gasly does it again, albeit by 7 thousandths.
Something tells me Alonso will put in an epic lap to make sure that doesn’t happen in Q.
Now that Honda isn’t paying McLaren $100m a year, they can afford to build decent motors. Plus, the Toro Rosso chassis is certainly no worse than the highly-rated McLaren roller. And Toro Rosso hasn’t had as many problems with a new engine install as McLaren have. Embarrassing for a team the size of McL. To add further insult to injury, both Renaults, you know, the guys that sell McL their customer engine, finished ahead of McL in P3.
If I was Zak Brown, I wouldn’t be walking around with that big smile on my face. And if I was Mansoor Ojei, I’d ask Brown and Boullier why I need them when Alonso is making the team decisions. Much as I like Fernando, his pressure to dump Honda is going to end up costing McL a lot more than $100m a year.
i dint know Honda was dumping that kind of $ into the team above the engine
seems like all McLaren has done for several years now is step on it’s own crank...
