2017 F1 general testing thread

[Jerrycobra]

at this point I would just run the engine with a water leak instead of wasting time, but water and "ERS" probably won't end well if enough water leaks.

Still they couldn't out, they must not have motivation to work any more

Are they replacing the PU with another "new" PU or an old one ??

With a new one according to autosport.com

You have to start wondering how close Ron Dennis was to Honda and if some people possibly feel aggrieved.

and then that happened

It is understood that the engine being used was a new test specification that had been shipped from Honda's Sakura facility in Japan.
The replacement unit will also be of this type.

Turvey will go out again and will pull a flyer and it will race in the Russian gp
so far what was said in the Japanese site was right =D>

İf mgu-h is not the one of updated part it is too bad. Yes this issue is new but again to accept it hard

[godlameroso]

Well at least there's lights at the track so they can run later today and make up for lost time, then there's always tomorrow.

[Vasconia]

The engine he was using was the new one but the problem was an water leak from the ERS... They have problems everywhere. Must be some kind of a vírus.

Or a terminal disease.

No news from McLaren...

We have to see a good lap time. Then lap count become unimportent

MCLAREN FIRES UP THE MCL32
Good news for McLaren fans, the team has just fired up the MCL32 again. The engine has been changed. Oliver Turvey is not yet in the car though.

[GoranF1]

Is it the updated PU that died this morning or old?

[godlameroso]

They fitted a new power unit of the new spec. Come on Honda, no leaks!

New spec PU broken and replaced new new spec. But still no lap time. May be this time hearth broken driver issue
