Time will tell how competitive McLaren are with Renault power, while they have an amazing history they were slugs with Mercedes power not that long ago! Logic suggests with such terrible power the chassis has improved a lot, think Brawn from the shadow of Honda's last effort (a Merc in the back and a championship resulted).

Personally I think Red Bull will kick their ass next year, and McLaren probably will be doing well to be matching it with factory Renault with Carlos on board. Honda, hard to tell, if they can get it right then Red Bull will certainly take them in 2019 and the cash support from Honda. Would be great to see Porsche or others come in, would be even better if they chuck out the vacuum cleaners in process and bring back some revs and sound. I hope Aston does not get ahead of itself and waste money it does not have on F1. They are starting to get their act together and their SUV will start to fill the coffers alongside the new Vantage. Then again with its hook up with Merc, maybe the Aston will be a Merc in drag and slot into the back of the Red Bull.

Lets hope Renault and in Particular Dan can pull off a win tonight.
