I'm sorry saying this but... Does it matter if Alonso is fit to race? He'll be able to have a bath on lap 10 in Melbourne.
Sorry for the doom and gloom, as a mclaren for over a decade I should have know better than to allow myself to get my hopes up after seeing the car at the launch.

[PABLOEING]

Honda have to probe the engine and the car in a mobile dyno like Red bull last year befoe Oz........

Even in this awful scenario it would good for Alonso to drive in Melbourne, he needs to gain experience with the car, know it and try to understand it.

Calm down boys, I know that the situation is not good at all, but lets wait and see what happens in the next three days. Anyway its worrying to see that they have to homologate the power unit on Monday.

I didn't know where to post this:

They have Esso branding on their car. I think it is still under Exxonmobil umbrella.

Patience! Looks like they'll hit 100 laps today.

That was a very much needed positive test day. More of that tomorrow with KMag please. https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/571357535170650112

Nothing better than cheering for an underdog.

Good day or bad day today?

[dren]

That's relative. Bad day, but good day since it's McLaren.

[Th3GoodSon]

Not great, not the end of the world. They seemed to be working on qualifying simulations before this happened and working on the wheel nuts.

So I'm gonna speculate.... turned the PU up for the quali runs and its developed an oil leak....?

If honda makes that engine finish the first race it is going to be a miracle. Based on the rumours that the honda engine is on par with the mercs doesnt really help if the reliability is like this. Its gonna be depressing start of the season for macca fans. Even fighting for points is impossible the way it looks now

[CjC]

I think best case scenario for us McLaren fans at the moment is to see them show well in qualifying and to see them run around in podium contention places at the early part of the race and then to wonder which lap the car will break down on.

That's the very, very best scenario I can see....
