McLaren Race Distance

So, how well do you think Honda have fixed the problem?

I've been very optimistic and think both will be out between 31-40

 

[Smithers]

Not alot

 

[BrightLampShade]

I think they may just get into the 40's. It'll take them a while mind

 

[El_Bando]

I'm being optimistic 21-30

 

[allsaintchris.]

One of the cars will not take the start

 

[happyal]

Are we taking an average or just 1 of their cars?

I'm going to say 1 of the cars will finish and 1 car will suffer alot of problems.

 

[EternalMSC]

They won't make the first stop, or will breakdown shortly afterwards. 11-20 laps.

40s? They'll only get to that number of laps if they lap in the 1m 40s.. by which time they'd have been lapped 3 times!!

 

[DHCanary]

I wonder what the odds are on one of them making a pitlane start, I cannot imagine both taking the grid in a normal fashion. 21-30 laps for me, although I've not decided if that's individually, as a pair, or over the whole weekend.

Apologies. It's whichever one gets the furthest of the 2.
I could've sworn I'd written it in the question

 

[EternalMSC]

I am almost certain that stopping the car in the box will trigger all the problems.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

I dunno. I thought the issue was vibrations?

Stopping in pits would overheat engine etc but i just think they will loose hydrualics through vibrations.

I agree with start from pit lane idea for one car.

Most importantly both cars to be dead last on grid at best and 10 laps max.

 

[Big Ern]

Honda say they fixed the vibrations, it was engine mapping allegedly.
Then again Honda say a lot of things.

engine mapping produces vibrations.... yeah......

 

[Julius Caesar]

They managed to limp Buttons car across the line in 2015. If it's worse Honda should just withdraw now.

 

[BrightLampShade]

Both into double digits!

 

[El_Bando]

So who won?

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Whoever voted 51 to 54 laps.

How the hell did they translate their crap reliability in testing to 54 laps here.
