i believe Merc started building their PU around 4 years ago. Last year was no fluke, they had the best package. Nice to see Ferrari catching up so fast. Next will be Honda and maybe Renault. I'm wondering if production cars will se such a PU someday. I bet maintenance cost would be high.

^yep they planned ahead better than the rest, Honda started in May 2013 so 2 yrs ago
Interesting article re: McHonda's 2015 engine: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118626
And Maldonado made it into the new Star Wars movie.

if they put her in the seat we would watch it more, just saying
Don't the Beatles have a song "Baby you can drive my car" or something like that
New McHonda livery...
Yep and they havent used any tokens for the engine for this race just upgraded some parts that were braking and improved the tune, so maybe just maybe that engine can go better as is with just a bit of refinement. we will find out in 24hrs
Looks like McHonda have made some improvements in their chassis, currently into Q2.

good to see both boys finally made it out of Q1...
Still no real improvement's as far as race pace.
I expected more today but it was disappointment.Still long way to go.
At least front jack man was quick

What Lotus guy?
Front jack man took a shot to the solar plexis jumping out of the way of pitting Lotus, might have been slightly lower.

Well that was Alonso who set the trend for today
Time to go racing this weekend. The holy grail of all weekends; Monaco, Indianapolis and Charlotte! 1300 miles of racing; and Monaco is on NBC, Indy on ABC and Charlotte on Fox, all free and clear of cable TV.

i'll be tuned in for one third of that weekend. the race where the cars turn in not one, but both directions!
was going to be in Monaco this year, but work for the summer got in the way. just as well, I'd prefer to be there when the McLaren/Honda and Alonzo are competitive for a win, so maybe next year?

Love the quote...
Just remember fellas, Indianapolis used to be on the F1 calendar. Going fast at the top level is going fast. Even drag racing at the top level is a hoot, and the best engineering in the world. It only lasts 5 seconds.
That's a very different "Indianapolis." The IndyCars ran something like that race last week.
I'm talking about the 1950-1960 f1 seasons included the 500 as one round of the championship. The teams didn't come over from Europe, but it was part of the championship.
Interesting, thanks.

that is interesting, never knew about that one. seems pretty moot however, if none of the teams came from Europe...
