[Stop It]

This has not yet stopped being funny to me yet.

I literally threw my glasses off and hit my head against my desk at work after hearing this on 5 Live Sports Extra.

I'm legitimately fucking livid at Honda right now.

They have a great motorsports division, with a good MotoGP, BTCC, WTCC, and American racing factory backed teams and engines yet they can't make an F1 engine to save their lives.

It's embarrassing as a lifelong F1 fan and McLaren follower. It's a travesty and I'm sick of the excuses.

That engine won't be used ever again. It looked like it was expelling it's own guts.

I do feel genuinely bad for the team and the fans like you. Please don't think I'm just enjoying your misery.

It's the fact that it keeps happening. And keeps happening. And keeps happening. And keeps happening. And keeps happening. And keeps happening. And keeps happening.

It is almost to the point of being unbelievable now

Gearbox failure for Vettel

RIP

 

[Zeknurn]

Another gearbox gone for Vettel.

I've followed McLaren since DC joined them, so 20 years now.

I've seen unreliable fast cars, reliable slow cars, just simply dodgy cars but this is the worst I've ever seen.

I know you're not revelling in the misery of fans and in a dark way I find this funny too. But I am legitimately losing faith in F1 because of this. What's the point in watching my favourite team not even make the start of races at times?

In other news Vettel has broken his gearbox, oops.

Fernando quote just now;

"It's not my problem, it's Honda's problem. The engine blew up after one corner."

My advertising at the bottom of the page was for someone putting oil INTO a car (Mini servicing). I think that's possibly the best thing I've seen today.

We've all has those mornings.

 

[Danielsan]

Already smells like a Mercedes 1-2 weekend.

McLaren Honda is just a sad joke. Might as well not show up and save some face.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ferrari says the car is fine and it was just a wheel problem. He will be out soon.

GERMAN JESUS SAVED.

 

[Dilly]

I just had to choose 2 drivers to root for that drive for that sad excuse of a team.

Going to cut out that Honda logo on my t-shirt.

In other news, Formula E is in Monaco this weekend!

So looking forward to turn 1.

RB14 already .825 ahead of Merc, season saved.

RB14 already .825 ahead of Merc, season saved.

Haha, ooh how I wish.

 

[brotkasten]

RB14 already .825 ahead of Merc, season saved.

And Bottas is already one second ahead of Vettel.

A huge time from Bottas! He sets a 1:21.550 - 1.050s quicker than Vettel
Hamilton, though, goes even quicker, with a 1:21.521.

 

[John_B]

Mercedes looks fast everywhere with little effort.

 

[Danielsan]

So 1,2 second ahead on a harder compound. Back to the drawing board Newey.

RIP that engine.

... for now. Ferrari are clearly dragging those sandbags around

 

[xrnzaaas]

Lol that McLaren pissing fluids pic is going to be a used a lot.

 

[Danielsan]

"11:16: Fernando Alonso has left the Circuit de Catalunya and returned to his hotel."

Good stuff. I really hope someone gives this man a proper car next season. Otherwise I'm sure this will be his last year.

Its like when a dog submits and pisses itself.

Seemingly Mercedes brought none of their troubles from Russia for this weekend. The front row looks far away for Ferrari at this point. Then again they have showed up strong on every Sunday so far.

my poor man alonso. what did he do to deserve this.

Yup, on DMAX.

Well, Ferrari their relevance was fun while it lasted.

Next year will be different.

That's the worst FP1 result chart in the history of FP1 result charts, maybe ever

You're right. I should've cut the irrelevant part off.

There you go.

Muss less bloated.

 

[Mastah]

I've missed FP1 because intertet went down few minutes into session, but I see some things never change, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, HONDA, you incompetent fools

At least Mercs are easy 1-2, that's good.

 

[ramparter]

McLaren already close to Force India in a circuit with a big straight and with incompetent drivers. Book it now, Button to win monaco this year.

Can you imagine Button winning Monaco and then Alonso coming back to Honda being a shitshow

 

[Mastah]

No one can't, because that's not going to happen. I'm sure Jenson is thrilled to drive that shitbox of an engine attached to quite a good car :/

 

[Lima]

Merc 1-2 while being a second faster than Ferrari and McLaren is shit.

We 2016 now boys.

[Scotch]

Why on earth would you be happy about this

The rest of this season is gonna be balls. Repeat of 2016, but with less overtaking at the back.

Look at Alonso, 1 lap? What a lazy cunt.
