As far as I know its pretty much top speed and the kaboom motor.

 

Alonso was asked about the car & he said the chassis was great. Engine swaps in an F1 car are not easy. The car is built around the lump & it is a sure bet the Benz lump isn't the same shape. Big Mac will have their work cut out for them. I wish them luck.

 

Read that the MB motor is much closer in size to the Honda than say the Renault motor. Also agree that with more power the McLaren chassis may need tweaking a bit too... That said, I truly believe that the McLaren with MB power would not only give them reliability but would push Alonso much closer to the sharp end of the field.

Hope it works.

 

Part of it may be that the Honda engine was designed with Exxon fuel in mind, and there was a late switch to BP when McLaren switched sponsors.

Interesting, the wrong rocket fuel.

Here is one of McLaren's engineer's on the subject.....

 

Jolyon can't ride on daddy's shirt tail and more.

 

I've been saying that for a while now, Alonso needs Renault, and they need him. Good match all around.

 

Another track where the McHondas could conceivably finish better than last!

Looking forward to this race, I love seeing them run between all those old buildings.

 

Somehow it's been a good track, especially through the old town. But even on the rest of the track, most of the passes are at the corners, and not due to DRS.

 

Wait, I was thinking of its first year, which was good. Last year was dull, iirc. Maybe having a good Ferrari Merc fight will spice it up again.
