I would agree with all the above, very early days for PP and many others signed last year. I believe Mac's program was to field a conceptually good but Basic package in the early stages to give the team time to work hard on delivering a solid chassis for the second part of the year that can be carried over to 2016, that is the way I would have gone.

Whether or not that will result in a b spec car is yet to be seen, if they do it will be for the reasons of significant changes to the internal layout of the engine or the cooling system or to change the wheelbase or move the bulkheads, most of the changes could be made to the current car I think

Hardly a bold statement seeing Silverstone is the first Race after the second in Season Tests at Austria.

Pretty sure that the Mukumoto interview was dismissed by Honda as fake?

Yes, that's correct. But it seems not everyone thinks it was completely fake. (for the Record, i'm totally with the Honda statement)

But Alonso has done a decent amount of laps and has achieved to geat a good position(6th). Lets try to be positive (I know its hard).

Ok, I should have phrased my feelings better. I actually meant I feel sorry for Jenson, can't feel nice.

Alonso was 11th BTW.

And even with his paltry number of laps, Jenson still ends up just behind him!

That someone says they feel sorry for Jenson and then say that Alonso was 11th.

My point was that one should either not feel sorry for Jenson or feel equally sorry for Alonso depending on your point of view as they ended up fairly close despite Jenson's gremlins.

Alonso did his time when missed 30 minutes to the end of the session although Button did it at the last minute. During the entire session Fernando was close to the Williams.
Edit: Everyone improved their lap times by 1 and 1 and half second at the end of the session. Verstappen is the demonstration.
