Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

AFAIK racing fuel tanks are filled with foam or something to prevent sloshing about.

I thought that was to prevent leakage in event of impact/rupture?

Which you could take as= The cars fast but with adjustment can and will be alot faster. why is the majority downbeat or hoping for the worst? I honestly haven't doubted for this reason after last year if we under performed heads were gonna roll this year! I stayed true to supporting mclaren and guess what?? They just repayed my loyalty :mrgreen:

That headline is ridiculous!! Read the full Q&A on autosport (who run with the head line 'Button delighted with final 2010 preparations')

How they can get that headline is unreal. He is saying he is very happy with the car but there is more to come/be found. Thats not a bad thing!

Exactly, I read the gpupdate piece and struggled to find anything at suggested Button was worried for his title chances or his ability to win races. Yes its likely the Macca isn't quite as quick as the Ferrari but crikey, it's looked decent enough in the tests so far. LOL @ the bias.

My point exactly, media trying to make things looks twisted :^o , even if the 25 was a dog i'd still got up for early races, id have still talked about it to family friends all year, just as i did last year when it was a dog. True mclaren fan not a glory supporter (not that i presume that of anyone in here to make that clear :? ).

Hey everybody. I've been lurking around for some time now, and finally i got the nerve to register. :wink:

From autosport:
11:28 Hamilton is quickest through speed trap as he starts his first fliying lap, but sector one isn't the best.
does anyone have the date from speedtraps. i would be very interesting if the Mclaren is significantly faster on through speedtraps...
