I dont think that Mclaren can have a worse year than 2015 when they couldnt even get the motor to full specs, right?

Also holy gently caress Lewis.

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

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

But if the motor is vibrating itself apart they should know it before putting in the chassis? And if the chassis is vibrating the motor apart, that to me is a failure of design from Mclaren.

Anyways i still remeber the two WDC that Mika won from Schumi so i hope Mclaren never wins again.

Chassis dynamics is really out of the scope of this thread and I'd put people to sleep talking about it but putting an engine on a testbed doesn't capture real world elements. The fact is these engines are a structural part of the cars and there's huge forces being put through them as a result. Apportioning blame isn't a black and white issue, it's a far more complex issue their dealing with.

Yeah i know that but i never heard of a car that is falling apart for natural reasons. Someone hosed up.

I've had it happen to me, VW grounds the entire ignition system through the cylinder head and there was enough moving that after three years that it just snapped. Look up 1st gen Chevy Astros, 90 degree V6s without balance shafts, the electric connections in mine is all shot to bits.


Remind me and I'll type something up tonight when I'm not on my phone.

but that is a failiure of design?

So they are not running the engine at full power and still is tearing itself apart? Thats awful, i tought they were running the thing at full power and that was the reason for their problems.

I remember when Mclaren was proud of the back of the car, size zero i think? What happened?

Also i hope Ferrari can put herself between the mercedes. I think Vettel and Kimi are better than not Rosberg, i dont remember the dudes name right now.
