I'm actually going out to Long Beach this weekend for the Grand Prix, then will head back to Vegas Sunday night. Will probably be too tired to watch the race until Monday so my wait will be longer than yours.

it has come to light that most of honda's engine development over winter was done on a single cylinder test bench. they thought they were caught up to mercs '16 performance levels.
and then things got worse.
it wasn't until mclaren attached the gearbox / driveshaft and put it in the car that the resonance issues were discovered.

But it was too late that we noticed that - at Christmas.
