With two of the best rookies that debuted in years? I don't think there's much shame in that really.

EDIT: I can't read.

There's shame for their massively paid design team though.

Fair enough.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Kimi is faster in every session so far.

Would he still beat vettel when it actually counts in an hour's time?

 

[Aiii]

I don't think I've ever heard Kimi talk this much as during this Sky interview right now.

 

[Aiii]

Sky reporting that Alonso won't take part in qualifying because there's a leak that they can't find in the car lol.

Things not looking good for Alonso. Whatever's wrong with his engine has not been fixed yet, with 30 mins before qualifying

For fuck's sake :/

For forks sake.

I wonder how much longer Ron can survive before he's ousted.

Who's left to mount another coup? :lol

 

[Alebelly]

Anyone else watching qualifying?

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Who's left to mount another coup? :lol

There was a rumour a month or two back (and also over the winter break) that the other shareholders might be planning to bring in Gerhard Burger to replace him.

 

[Hasney]

Oh god, are those flip up shades Hamilton has on BBC in fashion again?

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Wat

This team...damn. Driving that car must be like trying to fight the Capra Demon in Dark Souls with a terribly under leveled character. Yeah it can be done, but only the obsessed fans do that nonsense.

 

[Alebelly]

Awesome, I figured it out, love being part of a community

 

[Cyborgmatt]

BBC is saying Alonso will race.

 

[DBT85]

Got my feed at work straight from Sky so I'll be watching it a good 3-4 seconds before you folk! No nasty satellite delays for me!

 

[Kuros]

Freddie Hunt is the spit of his dad.

 

[Tubie]

wow McLaren only has 4 points?

What a shitshow, and they still talk as if they are just a few token upgrades away from competing with the top teams.

 

[JadedWriter]

I'm still waiting for NBCSN to get rid of those step nose cars in their CG intro.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

- One car running Bahrain-spec, other using Spain-spec Honda: engineers call it "vintage racing"
- these are the only 2 engines left for ALO and BUT, all others are broken!!!
-100 hp behind with these specs
- 2 sec power deficit in Silverstone
- McLaren believes they are 5 tenths behind Merc on chassis-side in Silverstone
- When 5th engine for Honda allowed they will use tokens in Hungary on combustion and again turbocharger side, otherwise in Spa
- McLaren delayed updates from yesterday to today, but only BUT will drive the new FW, chassis, sidepods and mirrors



Double DNF coming.

Does this include the extra engine FIA just allowed Honda?

Also Mercedes engine has close to a year more development time than any others.

 

[Ruruja]

Becketts Complex still the best series of corners in F1.

 

[Lemonte]

Kimi!!!

 

[Zeknurn]

Q1 went as expected.

 

[Mastah]

McLarens out in Q1 Raise your game, Honda, 1 second more from power unit and this car is easily into Q3 :/

 

[JadedWriter]

McLarens out in Q1

That car is nothing more than a better looking Caterham at this point.

 

[Jezbollah]

And the ongoing schadenfreude of Martin Whitmarsh continues.

 

[Deadman]

McLaren are an endless source of entertainment

 

[Aiii]

Sauber was doing so well in Australia, and now they're shit again.

At least they're not on zero points like last year.

Have they stopped development already (i.e. run out of money)?

Hopefully he wins that boat thing and becomes king of the seas.

"Worse races will come," Spanish reporters are saying Alonso has said after qualifying at Silverstone

LOL

 

[JadedWriter]

LOL

What qualifies as worse? The car bursting into flames during the installation lap?

 

[PdotMichael]

lol, Kimi

 

[Mastah]

What qualifies as worse? The car bursting into flames during the installation lap?

Honda announcing withdrawal from F1 mid-season and McLaren haing no engine?

 

[Tubie]

Maybe he thinks Marussia will catch and pass them.

 

[Humidex]

lol, Kimi

 

[Zeknurn]

Some timings would be nice, FOM.


Sainz outqualifies his team mate once again. Good job.

 

[nature boy]

Wonderboy beaten by Sainz once again.

 

[Mastah]

New Senna 4 tenths slower than his team mate.

 

[JadedWriter]

I'm starting to think if they started driving their cars like this that it would be an upgrade.

 

[Mokubba]

Max isn't happy lol

 

[ElTorro]

At this point, Button and Alonso should start the race in running gear.

 

[Hasney]

Button giving Alonso a nipple tweak is probably the best move in McLaren today.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm starting to think if they started driving their cars like this that it would be an upgrade.

Someone should shop Alonso face and McLaren Honda livery onto this picture.

 

[ElTorro]

I am going to get F1 2015 on day one just because I want to see how they represent McLaren in-game.

You can find that out without wasting 60 Euro on that shit, you know.

 

[Tubie]

I hope Rosberg gets pole just to make this slightly interesting tomorrow
