Gasly could have the same nickname as Danny Ongais... "On the Gas" suits him well.

I don't think STR/Honda have reasons to lie, but they say it ended up being a loose connector on the power unit (I assume a wiring harness connector). I assume it was all tied to the quick build of a new car after Hartley's FP3 crash to get him ready for the race.

I would imagine by now Hartley is quite keen to leave.
Hopefully Ganassi still has a seat for him. |

And Quick Nick could have a say about Hartley...
"They made me the same thing", says Mr Heidfeld. A good friend of mine told me so... |

Points this season using a Renault Engine:
Red Bull: 199 Renault: 70 McLaren: 48 Pretty poor going considering McLaren have had the best chassis on the grid for the past 3 seasons and expected to be on par with Red Bull this season |

More fake news. What people think McLaren said and what they actually said are two different things. Just because people keep repeating statements doesn't make them true.

Perhaps the "fake news" comes from articles like this, which quote the Mclaren boss man himself.
https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2...t-power-brown/ “In 2017 – because next season nobody knows – if we had the Renault power plant in there we would have been there or thereabouts with Red Bull. Some races ahead of them, some races behind them, but we would have been around there.” |

Another all new Honda engine going into Gasly's car!
Gasly to the back of grid. |

Shocking performance again, could hardly beat the Williams cars in a straight fight.

Not sure what race you were watching but Hartley finished in the points, beat both McLarens, indeed completed a lap more than Alonso, Leclerc and a Renault, whilst Gasly suffered from stopping for wets and had to pit again to change back to slicks. He still managed to beat Alonso amongst others. They both beat both Williams.

Spoken as someone who did not watch the race but only looks at the result.

Yeah it was another poor performance from TR. Hartley somehow passed 1 Williams, got the other in the pits but then they somehow passed him back on track. It looks like on a track like this that TR and Williams are pretty even on pace.
I was totally expecting Hartley to blow that last point on the last lap but somehow held of Kmag in the much faster car. Woohoo I bet he'll be celebrating like he won it tonight. |
