McLaren denied F1 testing mileage by detached exhaust

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mcla ... st-1009670

McLaren’s second day of 2018 Formula 1 testing was limited to just 37 laps due to its Renault engine’s exhaust becoming detached.

Stoffel Vandoorne was one of the pacesetters once running started in anger after a quiet morning due to cold weather, and the MCL33 briefly led the way after a run on the hypersoft tyres.

But while that lap was good enough to maintain third place by the end of the day, Vandoorne did not return to the track due to work required after the exhaust came loose.

“Unfortunately we had a small issue with an exhaust clip, just after lunch, which obviously detached the exhaust and blew a lot of hot air on some of the wiring looms,” he said.

“One of those wiring looms was the brake wire as well, so the team took precautionary checks, which obviously meant things took a bit longer than expected.”

Vandoorne said McLaren chose to use the softest tyre, that is new to the Pirelli range this year, because it would be the easiest to warm up in the cold conditions, and he felt he got some good initial impressions about this year’s car.

“It’s very difficult to switch the tyres on and the softer compounds make that a bit easier,” he said.

COULD TESTING BE SUSPENDED?
There's an ever-growing chance that testing could be suspended today, with Pirelli confirming to a source in the paddock that they believe it will be.

Last year, F1 spent enormous amounts of time and money trying to make the circuit wet for tyre testing. It didn’t work very well. This year, there’s a genuinely wet track and nobody is going out. It’s ridiculous, there’s a set of circumstances here and there’s always something you can learn.

I know there are concerns about spares, but drivers don’t have to wring the neck of the car and you’ll always pick up something. You can play with the set-up, see what happens and as long as the driver is sensible and doesn’t push hard in the wrong place, you’ll get some work done. It’s better than going to Australia, racing in the wet and moaning about not knowing about the wet tyres!

Especially for smaller teams, if you have a bit more information for conditions like these, you're in a better position.

If I was here with Jordan, we’d be out there!
