At least you can plan your afternoon accordingly.
"Sorry I'm late, honey. The engine lasted longer than expected."
I just want to back this post up.
I've always been a McLaren fan, ever since I first started watching F1. McLaren Honda in the Prost/Senna era absolutely defines F1 for me, that combination is basically why I follow the sport to this day.
What we've seen from Honda these last few seasons should see them banned from F1 with immediate effect. They are bringing the sport into disrepute and should be dealt with harshly.

Hope it's not this windy tomorrow.
Renault looking like a real contender for best of the rest.
7/8 this afternoon is excellent pace from them, even from the woeful Palmer.
Barcelona is a real car chassis tester & its looks like they are getting closer to the RBR pace, even if RBR are poor by their standards at the moment.

The new "you are only as good as your last race" is now "you are only as good as friday practice". Guess we can already give the title to Merc / Lewis.

Why not Bottas? He won the last race, clearly deserving the title.
[Hamilton loses 1 tenth in a sector in a single lap somewhere]
[Entirety of the UK visibly shaking, 9.0 on the richter scale caused purely by the energy of shared disappointment]
Unnamed F1 commentator, probably: "Mercedes in crisis, will Hamilton switch to Force India next year?"
And more to the point, it's Spain, and he hasn't won there yet. It is destined. *

Destiny only applied subject to status. The value of your position can go down as well as up

Shit, you're right.
Not to mention that Lewis seems happier than Bottas with the new car.
The team has done an amazing job with the upgrades and the car is working just as we expected, said Hamilton.
Its been a much better start to the weekend for me than in Sochi so Im very happy.
Weve just got to keep our heads down and keep working, we want to be number one.
vs.
Bottas shared Hamilton's enthusiasm, saying "everything seems to be working well".
Today was an important one for us with the new upgrade package on the car, Bottas added.
Our target was to evaluate if the new upgrades are working well and it seems like they are.
At this time its way too early to tell exactly where we are, but everything seems to be working well so far.
Its always nice to start the weekend in a positive way, but the main days are Saturday and Sunday.
As always we will work hard to find any performance. I really enjoyed it out there today so I hope we can squeeze more performance out of the package.

That's another good point for Bottas, though...

I think at this point its obvious that Honda CAN build a strong racing engine (for touring cars and open wheelers) BUT they're hapless for the complex spec of current F1 engines, hell they made good powerful engines in the much simpler and less regulated V10 era. I fear that bringing Ilien is too litte too late at this point.
FE FP1 is live if you care for some Monaco

Yeah Turvey should probably start using his mirrors more.
Even though this is going to be an easy pole and win for Hamilton this weekend, I'm going to accept the avatar bet just because you got destroyed last time and it would be very amusing if we somehow added another two weeks to your jail time.
The usual criteria applies:
Ferrari on pole or race win.
Deal?

Alonso's car hasn't broken down yet. Something must be wrong!

Their 2.4 V8s weren't that great either.
Rubens and Jenson saw a huge difference when they switched from Honda engines to Mercedes before the 09 season.

No. As usual they overreact like complete idiots. The problem in Russia was cars were spread by 2 seconds and more, how can you expect any overtaking, hell any battle with such gaps?

It might have helped Vettel, but that's pretty much all yeah. All the more interesting that Vettel doesn't seem too happy with the longer DRS zone in Spain.
It's tight. Bottas is going to have the bit between his teeth now and he is no mug. I always thought he would be credible opposition to blessed and his definitely very quick.
I don't think this is stitched up at all.
