Thought we might have some fun with the sad state of things at McLaren right now.
They've done 13 total laps in FP1 and both cars have already broken down and they have yet to complete a race distance in any of the test sessions... sooo, when do you think that they will finish a race with both cars (not even in the points, just finishing)?

When will McLaren finish a race with both cars?

Between Austin and the end of the season... they will have completed one race distance with both cars.

What's the softest track on cars?

I think when championship returns to Europe, so probably in Spain or some races later.

Although they look shockingly poor, this reflects more badly on F1 than anyone else.
F1 should not be so complex that a company such as Honda, in conjunction with MacLaen, cannot build an engine / car that can run reliably in the length of time they have been working on it. Ditch all this Eco BS.

I'd say Spain too. I will be pleasantly surprised if it happens earlier.
One things seems obvious, the bolt pieces together and go racing era is over. I mean these days if they do that, and even at a such professional level as Mclaren/Honda are doing it, they cannot even compete at the slow end of the grid. Why make racing cars so complicated?

I'm not going to vote, but I think both McLarens will finish earlier than people expect. And when their cars are run with full power without troubles, they're going to surprise.
Anyway, the goal really was for 2016 all the time, but even so I'm sure the ending of this season will leave us a really good taste in our mouths.

You haven't been watching long? Mclaren have already years ago with the help of Mercedes built entire cars that never raced because they were that bad. This is nobody's fault but their own.

It'll be back in Europe for sure, maybe Monaco although Spain is a good bet.

its looking like Spain, only for them to be red flagged in Monaco on health and safety grounds, for being too slow and bunching the whole field down when they are being lapped.
