The McLaren has an interesting little flap in front of the rear tire, apparently in lieu of tire slots:

Hamilton really seems to put Ferrari as the title favourites this year. Did he say the same at the start of the last few years? Not sure if it's just further sandbagging or can be taken at face value.

It clearly is planned, actually. Every team, including McLaren, has been using tire slots in that area for some time. It's not like they just forgot about it.

Alonso: Equal Engines

Ric: But not electric

Hamilton: Yeah and not Honda

I still want to imagine that McLaren Honda are taking the piss and will have one of the fastest cars; they are just going to whole new levels to sandbag.

True, but we'll have a good idea after quali if the race is going to be a case of the Mercs just sodding off down the track and Bottas being a compliant #2 driver.

I think it's gunna be a Ferrari show this weekend. Kimi will win after Lance the killer Stroll takes out Vettle.

Lewis will exclaim "MAN!" On team radio. Loudly. Once again showing his love for them.

I think that if Ferrari is competitive Kimi has a better chance than Vettel to win the WDC.

From a certain perspective you could say they are unintentionally sandbagging. Honda sincerely believes they have made major performance improvements but haven't come remotely close to stretching their legs.

The car isn't falling apart. The engine is vibrating itself apart.

I get what he's trying to say and I think theres some truth to it. The chassis is probably absorbing alot of it but once it hits a certain RPM the resonance kicks in and the chassis just can't cope. With a 90 degree V6 there's always going to be some inherent vibration that the chassis will have to dissipate, so while the lion's share of blame is likely with Honda I don't think McLaren can wash their hands of the whole thing.

The issue is that the chassis isn't dissipating the engine's vibration. How do you test that on a dyno?
