One point to note is that McLaren chassis do look good now. Notice that in the twisty bits, Alonso was even able to pull away a bit from Ham! Ham only caught up and finally passed him due to the long straights, otherwise he would have had a tougher time or even not able to pass if McLaren just had a bit more top speed.

Not surprising

They should done it long time ago

Follow porsche route competing in le mans😄👍

You mean Le Mans LMP?? That series is about to die man!    Might as well stay in F1 rather than joining a dying series la!
Ugh that will be the time I stop watching car racing all together! 

Well that's why both of them are 4 times champ! Kimi on his day back in the mid 2000s was very fast and should be able to match Seb & Ham at least in the dry but now no more. Bottas, well he still have to prove himself as this is still his first year in a top team and his results are actually pretty good in the first half but he kinda drop the ball in the second half. Hopefully next year he will be better and more consistent.

Car wise, F1 has always been car dominant first and racer 2nd, so whoever wins the title surely must have had the best if not one of the best cars for that year.

nowadays still can race wheel to wheel?? I thought they will be penalized 

like this

For me what I'm most interested to see is how McLaren Renault will perform.

Testing fun at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

That's why bottas need to be replaced imo. You need both cars to make most strategic calls.
