That Honda engine sounds... well I don't know what to say, just listen:-

EDIT: Actually sounds like a cross between an angry Wookie and a Imperial TIE fighter... Star Wars sponsorship??

Alonso has done a three lap run, much better than the last test and better than first day of 2014.

about the "misfires" of the Honda engine:
is it possible that they use a late ignition timing in a cylinder in order to use that cylinder only as a gas-generator to feed the turbine with less-exhausted gases?

[ME4ME]

wow, so many people in the grand stands!

Rosberg already up to lap 50, barely 3 hours into day 1.

Anyone an idea what Ferrari is up too?

i dont know why they even bother to run the car? The car is not working on all 6 cylinders, they have a hug lug [somewhere] and they will only damage the engine by running now.

i dont now why run the car ? ...its not working on 6 cylinders .......and they have huge lug ....they are damage more the engine .....

Not to be rude but could you try to write a whole Sentence? I really have no Ideo what you mean. (well i have but it's so hard to gather anything from these broken Pieces )

And suddenly it's readable! Grammar magic. Although I still have no idea what he meant with the huge lug

Maybe he meant lag? Referring to turbo lag...

Meanwhile, Redbull continue to increase the camouflage to the rear of the car by adding an artificial smokescreen

Yep, that is ominous, especially with the lap times he is running. Speed about 3-4s up on Jerez Q2 last year, and a fair degree of reliability right out of the box.
