2015 Australian Grand Prix

Oh and one more thing. I don't want to hear any more hype about McLaren, Honda, or anybody there. Or that McLaren is a top team. For third straight year they are nothing more than a midfield team. They are not even comparable to Ferrari, who has got a lot of flack. At best McLaren is comparable to Toyota and BAR-Honda in their worse days.

All McLaren has left is history and "image". Depth in the team is missing completely and has been for a few years. They even lack title sponsorship. And I am not surprised big sponsors are not really after McLaren to sign deals!

It would be wrong of me to say I'd be immensely amused if this turned out to be a disaster for Ron Dennis, but it's true. I would be immensely amused if this turned out to be a disaster for Ron Dennis. The man is the very clinical definition of a psychopath.

Curses! Our plan has been foiled! On to phase 2.

We WILL win races! Because... We are MCLAREN!!

I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

I'm not so sure I would bet the house against McLaren and Honda at this point. Remembering this time last year, everyone but Mercedes could hardly keep the cars running, which is about where McLaren is right now after about the same amount of testing and practice.

They will get it right, but it sure isn't going to be this weekend. At best this will be an extended test for them, if they can keep the things together that long, that is.

I will remember this Taz just in case.

I'm not counting my money just yet.

Hamilton seems to have this under control this weekend. People seemed to think on Medium tyres Mercedes had lost some of its advantage, but in Quali it appeared as big as ever.

Good lap from Hamilton.

Mclaren suck, but I reckon Taz could be right and we could see them move forward over the season.

As for Bottas..... After quali a sub driver cannot come in can they? People calling for Susie Wolff to step in are going to be disappointed I would think.

As far as I remember a driver can't be replaced after starting qualifying.

[A FONDO]

Could she not start from the pit at least? What is the meaning of them third drivers then!

[Doc Austin]

Wasn't she like six seconds off the pace in Barcelona?

That, and does she even have a super license?

From what I've read, and heard on the broadcast, Bollier stated quite emphatically that it wasn't the "zero packaging" but "the ancillaries." were what was causing them to lose track time, so it's a non aero induced prob' but just getting everything to work at once, that is kind of what I got out of it, His English is good, but that freakin' accent seriously affects the proper english enunciation. But I'll cut him some slack, in the interview I saw with the Sky bros. Bollier was like twice as tall as both of them.
He's A Big Dawg !
