2006 Bahrain Grand Prix - Race 1/18
- Thread starter Flibster
- Start date
I've heard nice little whispers that the Mercedes is surprisingly fuel efficient and as normal the McLaren has a large fuel tank.
It's possible that he could do the race without refuelling - unlikely though as the car would be obscenely heavy at the start...

It also relies on the ability to extract the maxmimum energy out of a specified amount of fuel...Mercedes has been pretty good at that in the past *although usually it just splats it out the side of the block.
*With the McLaren's large tank and selective mapping of the engine it's entirely possible.
Barrichello is missing 3rd gear...
Could be a bit annoying that.

Well....BMW did have something like 150 engine failures in their first season with Williams
Plus - It's a BMW wouldn't trust it to take me to the end of the road without failing in some way...

Not sure what the problem is...
Aero looks good, chassic with Gascoyne on board should be good, engine should be excellent.
Just wondering if when all bolted together it just doesn't work..
3 months until their B spec car comes out.
