First thing I thought of last week when I saw the Mac - looks like a Spyker. 

 

Interesting that they also seems to have dropped the MP4 designation in the name. The moment Ron Dennis turns his back...  :ph34r:

oh dear ...

 

11:12 Bad news for McLaren. Honda has found an oil systems issue, which requires a full investigation. The team plans to run again today, but "due to the difficult access location, it will take several hours to resolve".

Lap count so far today:

Vettel 18,

Bottas 16,

Hulkenberg 10,

Ricciardo 4,

Magnussen 3,

Ericsson 3,

Perez 3,

Massa 2,

Sainz 2,

Alonso 1.

 

90 minutes in, and only half the teams have set lap times: Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams, Renault and Red Bull.

We've just ticked through midday here at the track, so let's have a summary of the morning so far:

 

- Bottas leads the way with quick times set at the start of two long runs on soft tyres

- Ferrari solid in second with Vettel lapping on mediums

- McLaren and Red Bull stuck in the garage with technical problems

- Magnussen's Haas breaks down at the pit entry

Looks like Mr. Stroll Snr has to write another cheque to replace the front nose of the Williams.

Could be an expensive season for him.

Massa and the Williams are looking pretty handy in the second test do far. Strange they have him running on consecutive days. Maybe no confidence in Stroll (or lack of spare parts)
