Mclaren fastest in France
Good and bad news for Mclaren. Good that they where first and second in the 2nd practice session for this weekends French GP. Bad that it looks like Kimi blew an engine so that means an engine change and a 10 place demotion on the grid.
I am not a fan of the one engine rule; it’s not what F1 is about. Give the old days where the mechanics would have installed a new engine and Kimi would be challenging for pole tomorrow instead of 11th.
The more the FIA change the rules the worse it gets for the fans (well IMHO).
The pace at the front looks hot with Mclaren and Renault. It could be a great race…
