Seems to be a big rumour that Honda are putting a new engine in every night to make it through the next day whereas the other teams have done the whole test with 1 or 2 engines for the lot.

That's what happens when you get the team lorry drivers to perform your pitstops.

Mclaren will take time to get up to speed with the Renault engine. Once they start getting data from race weekends, they can then start to tailor the aero of the car to the power output they have. But it's a much better start this year than the past three.

Re: F1 2018 Launch and Testing Topic
That's an interesting way of looking at it. The Ferrari gains vs the Merc gains could make for a very interesting season...

Mercedes are sand bagging.. They know that if they blew everyone away there would be screams!
They will be as fast or faster than Ferrari.
