More worrying for everyone else, that Merc time was .3 down on the fastest lap of all.
The Merc was on softs. Vettel's the only guy to have gone faster and he was on ultrasofts.
This year is going to be another Mercedes ROFLSTOMP.

Refresh my memory, anyone recall what the supposed delta is between the Softs and Super Softs? I have the number 1.8 seconds in my head, but that might be the Medium to Soft delta.

New Esso Racing fuel in car today. Looking at double-digit bhp uplift
McLaren says the PU exceeds 930bhp, can't wait for them to shock the F1 world in Melbourne.
Sporting a new fatter body to enable the beast to breathe:
Sensational sound:

Still sounds like a bag of spanners.
I'm not quite sure I have ever seen such a patriotic fan.
Truthfully, where do you think McLaren will be on the grid in Melbourne?

Somewhere between last,
hoisted through the air on a crane
Or just on the grass after the formation lap with Alonso chilling out in a lawn chair.
I want McHonda to be successful. I like Button and Alonso; Boullier and Ron Dennis are meatheads but whatever. Anyway, I want them to be successful and I think we all want more competition at the front. That said, it's all about "what have you done for me lately" and McHonda hasn't done anything. I hope Melbourne is promising but I'm not expecting much. I have very low expectations for them so they should be able to exceed those expectations! lol

Moving out of the way of the medical car to let it follow the rest of the field on lap one.
I think if they're really lucky they'll start on the straight.
They do?

Yeah, I'd love to read sources and quotes.
"Honda said this"
"McLaren said that"
Sources, man. Where are they?

Does it really matter, though?
Before the season starts McLaren will be shite and a laughing stock no matter how they're doing in the tests. If they produce in the races, that may stop.
Let's see if they can. I hope so - many others seemingly don't.

10bhp uplift, then.
Yes, that's pretty much what I'm expecting.
They certainly should improve on the shambles that was last season. By how much remains to be seen.

I like it.
Fuel leak or something i believe.

Ferrari offered Red Bull their 2015 engines, right? I wonder if it's going to bite them this season.
Wonder if Toro Rosso is going to beat them.

My best memory of a sound at a racetrack was actually from outside the track. When I arrived at the carpark outside Sepang back in the days of the V10-engines and heard that sound cutting through the air during the morning warm-up I got chills through my whole body. I still get some of that feeling just by thinking about it today.
By the track during the race it was so loud that you could not enjoy it in any way.
There are rumors circulating that Ferrari has more serious issues with their PU than they thought. Auto motor und Sport is reporting that they have issues with strong vibrations and due to that, they will use modified engine from tomorrow.
So we have PU issues, gearbox issues and overheating issues at Ferrari. And have in mind that weather in Barcelona is not quite warm right now
