Just catching up with qualifying now and yet another dreadful Q1 for McLaren.
The F1 Thread 2015 Season

They've improved by about 2 seconds since Australia, so going in the right direction at least.
Yes there is that.
Not a very exciting Q3, was disappointed to be honest.
13 poles on the bounce, fair play to Mercedes but getting a tad boring.
these races (if wet) my be the only way to slow down the silver arrows. and with mclaren - is it all power plant?
Who knows until they get 100% power and 100% ERS. Doesn't look a bad car, its not like Button and Alonso are wrestling it around.
that's what i was seeing. so the chassis looks ok , now it's down to getting it a kick in the ass. let's hope ferrari and red bull along with the honda power plants start catching up.
It's still underdeveloped aero-wise as it's a completely new concept for them (they weren't even able to start testing performance over the winter), but yeah the PU is still quite heavily compromised.
Three stop apparently for today, track temperature is really high. Pirelli fried an egg on the track this morning.
Sauber boss saying it as it is.
Missed it. What was said?
It was about the van gaard situation and he said "its a load of shit", something along those lines, Brundle was properly caught out.
I miss the days when we were able to laugh at Massa 
Maldonado and Kimi both getting punctures.
Kimi got it at the beginning of lap 2. long way to go.
Kimi race ruined
Raikkonen
Ericsson beaches the car at turn 1
Safety car for that?!
SC is out
SC deployed
Maybe because of stewards near track.
Double waved yellows would have been plenty sufficient. They weren't ON the track.
Why not use the virtual safety car?
Yea. It's a turn out of sight from a long straight. So maybe erring on the side of caution.
Kimi always sounds so angry on the radio 
would have been a beautiful move by Kvyat.
Vettel pulling away now, at least 1.5 sec a lap quicker than Lewis.
Vettel's got the pace to win this.
FFS Alonso will have to stop.
FFS, big reliability issues for this Honda engine at the moment.
Mercs have fecked up on strategy, Vettel's got too much pace for them to feck around.
Race over for Alonso
Worst car Alonso has ever had?
Vettel will be P1 very soon.
Easily, at the moment this McLaren is atrocious. Alonso did not look happy, not a good restart to their relationship.
He drove a Minardi.....probably still is
yea that was the only reason I opted for a question mark rather than a full stop.Still think it will pay off in the long run, it's all about developing the car at the moment.
