    It's better than the one from 2 years ago

    Are McLaren going to be actually running it this time? As in last time it was Andretti just rebadged?

    Not Andretti this time. it's built at MTC and supported by Carlin Motorsport. Not sure how much input they have had in building it, but given that most of it is off the shelf I'm not sure they'd need a ton of expertise to get it put together. I get the feeling they'll be more support over testing, qualifying and race weekend.

    Another major difference is the Chevvy engine vs the Honda in the last outing.

    Rossi utterly dominated that.

    Gutted Dixon didn't get the podium. Bit naughty from Rahal.

    Turning it up a bit early I think. Needed to ease in again. Been too swamped to really give it my full attention this week, sadly. :(

    And now a puncture for Alonso. Not looking very good for him and McLaren.

    With rain due I think he's highly likely to DNQ
