Welcome to Sunday’s version of the RaceFans round-up.
Remark of the day
Fernando Alonso has indicated Aston Martin’s issues lie with its Honda energy unit and never its chassis – however Joao says we’ve heard this earlier than:
Alonso began this type of feedback when Honda arrived at McLaren, it began to pressure the connection, and finally we discovered it wasn’t precisely true. A automotive is one piece solely, and having this type of separation between what “we” do and what “they” do is precisely the type of points a workforce with full on manufacturing standing ought to keep away from
Honda have proved themselves time and time once more, I wouldn’t doubt on their talents the identical method I don’t doubt Newey’s talents. Cohesion is vital for my part, the connection is new and it was sure to have teething issues. They should play the lengthy recreation, for a lot that hurts Alonso’s possibilities to pursue a brand new drivers’ championship, and for a lot that harm us followers not with the ability to take pleasure in him preventing on the entrance.
Hopefully Aston Martin gained’t make the identical errors McLaren did, in any other case different workforce would possibly revenue from it, like RBR didJoao (@Johnmilk)
