How about that Haas car though... It'll be interesting to see if they'll be in the mix of things.

So after 3 days of testing, what's the bigger disappointment -- Honda/McLaren or Stroll?  :sarcasm:

Neither, because neither one was a surprise.

Personally, I love the Haas color scheme this year.  I think they nailed it.  As well as Toro Rosso. 
I'm very glad to see Haas doing well.  I think it's a huge win for the series.  They needed to prove that someone new could come in an be in the mix early on.  I think most people were thinking they would be soon gone with the Manor's/Caterhams/Lotus' etc.

I wonder how much longer McLaren is going to give Honda.  Mercedes probably wouldn't mind providing engines again since Manor is gone. Or do McLaren still think that they can't expect to win a championship using Mercedes engines?

That's as helpful as you lying in your bed with no pants on when all I wanted was a quick message past to Ekai. 

How long have Honda engines been giving McLaren trouble?

Hah! A man's gotta eat, Jonny.

Honda has been pretty weak since they got back into F1 in this latest stint. Maybe 3 years now. Down on power, not the best reliability, despite only supplying one team with engines.

Ah I see.  That's disheartening :(

Wow, I had to check to make sure it's legit.  It is!  I was looking at the BWT and thinking "Is this car pink for Breast cancer aWarness monTh?"   But nope, they just picked pink for fun as far as I can tell.  BWT is a European water treatment company.

Nice to see something different than grey or silver.

In another note, McLaren is falling apart. Read some articles on how far adrift Honda is. They're boned. 50/50 odds neither Alonso nor VanDorne finish in Melbourne.

If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.
