Not so shabby Q from Lando, at least!

The kid did a brilliant job. Must have given everyone in the team a lift.

A great debut drive from Lando Morris but I wonder if McLaren aren't ruing parting company, with Honda?

2018 was a year of wisely lower expectations by the team Honda was worked with. Not to mention a newfound freedom to do what they thought was right vs. being pushed into corners. That gave Honda coverage to continue to focus on progress vs. battling their "partner" in public spats. Honda made the right move to proceed with divorce rather than trying to repair a fractured marriage. Of course RBR may be just as vicious if things go south, but that is a story for a different thread. Richard |

I think their time was up. They felt it was time for a change. It didn’t look that bad to begin with in 2018, even if they didn’t get the results they were expected to get. Honda had their chance and failed with McLaren
Who knows how long Honda will stay with RBR |

Indeed, who knows how long Honda will stay with RBR but a whole season awaits to unfold. Looking forward to it. |

Neither party did well for each other.
I think Honda will be lucky if they get through the whole season without some tension unfolding. That’s my prediction |

His recent Dakar car experience my help with the sand. He’s certainly driving a lot of different stuff - I bet he’s having a blast

Both cars looking good here, beating the factory Renault team handily.

Agree with comments above that things are looking better for McLaren.

Yes very pleasing. Lando only 2/10s from Carlos and both top ten.

Not really, just that Fred almost seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like he left Ferrari just before they started winning again

He won Daytona and Sebring, so that must be some consolation, if indeed that's the right word. Nevertheless, his decisions to leave and join F1 teams over the last few years, haven't really worked out. I don't know if that's a case of bad luck, or bad timing but I don't think it's due to a lack of perseverance because he has certainly stuck at it.
