People are abandoning the sinking ship before the season has started!
I've never read an article in that website before, but it's look like Spanish rubbish "Marca". I've stopped reading where it says "The company used at least five engines in the course of four days at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya... ".

About the "sinking ships", nobody knows the real reasons why he's leaving the team, so you can think what you want.
Here's another website you may not have read before:

Of course, you can all continue to stick your fingers in your ears and think that things are going to change.

We don't know why he left exactly. All we know Gilles Simon and Honda had different Views about the Future Development. Wich is perfectly Fine. Happens all the Time.

Maybe it's good for Honda, maybe it's bad. Nobody knows yet. Talking about leaving the sinking Ship is a little sensationalist though.

Or it could be that Honda have poached Illien:

Yeah, notice that in that one doesn't say "at least five engines....".

This is what i mean, we don't know the reasons, perhaps it's good, perhaps it isn't.

Calling it "sinking ship" it's your point of view. Of course i don't expect miracles at all, but i prefer to wailt until we see a couple of races.

Well the title of most mileage so far was short lived but definitely 100 laps would be great

McLaren has been quite quiet in the last minutes. They were among the teams with more laps today but now they are on the back, hope there is no reliability problems!

I think mclaren are on target for roughly 80 laps today, they seem to prefer lots of small short runs
