Why does it have to start with failures all the time??? Look at Audi and RBPT. New engine manufacturers, doing exceptionally well from the get go.
Don't forget that RBPT and AUDI being new manufacturers were allowed more resources and more money by the FIA in the years leading up to this year.

he didnt call out honda (if thats what youre saying). he made a simple statement, that honda would be the ones to answer that question.
Oh so this isn't calling Honda out? And the vibrations/oscillations were gone in FP3/Quali.
But yeah, Honda did solve the issue it seems, whatever they changed.

“Today we focused on maximising our one-lap performance for qualifying. We applied countermeasures for yesterday’s oscillations to improve, and we’ve observed good progress by changing those parameters." -Orihara
He did as them to ask Honda about the rear suspension failure did he?

Little sensitive are you?

Newey was happy with the upgrades too, talking to Brundle. "Still early days".
Then later I saw him with his notepad staring at the Mercedes car.

Just saw that, does a guy in his position share concerns publicly though, that doesn't gain investor confidence etc.
Stroll said something else but Martin walked off, does anyone lip read?

Alonso and stroll stuck behind two Mercedes powered cars. Have a lot more pace. Gonna be very hard to pass the alpine tbh. They were the fastest car in the straights

I’m genuinely worried about Honda; the ghosts of the past keep feeding my fears. It won’t matter at all if Honda keeps failing or only improving by hundredths of a second every two years.
The ghosts of when they just re-joined F1 10 years ago or when they had the best PU for 6 years? I'm confused.
10 years ago

"Impressive" race pace . Yea, the car is working. This is great. Not there yet but this is Adrian and engineering team starting to settle down together. I do however think we need a people's person running the show. Adrian is great but Adrain like a lot of incredibly smart people probably can not relate or understand why others are not able to just make things happen.

I think with equal engines, they would be ahead of Audi.

I think Alonso might be going for a one stop here, nursing the soft tires for 25 laps so far.
