2016 Testing

[Trevatanus]

So, 22nd Feb is the first test. What's everyone's predictions?
Personally, it would make me immensely happy if McLaren turned up with a car that had a half decent powerplant, although I fully expect MB to run away again.

It was timed through the corners, where the chassis is paramount, as being one of the faster cars, but was slowest down the straight where engine power is needed. This fact was mentioned lots of times on Sky F1 throughout the season.

I think that's been over-played.

Not suggesting it was a dog, but I also do not believe it was anything like the best (RB/MB/Ferrari).

I do not think anyone is suggesting it was the best out there, but I am pretty sure it would have been a whole lot better with a decent power plant.

Newey reckons that Honda will have sorted their engine issues over the winter, and will overtake Red Bull:
