00:00I'm going to go very quickly, but they're still not into Q3 for the first time in a long time.
00:04And how much of a disaster is this, Eddie?
00:07Well, they would not have expected a problem with the drivetrain.
00:10I would suspect this is something like a gearbox.
00:12If they then have to change that gearbox, then it's a further five places back, as Martin has already alluded
00:17to.
00:18And, you know, this is pretty much a disaster for them, and it's damage limitations.
00:23We're just looking at this onboard lap here.
00:25The car doesn't look badly balanced.
00:27Martin mentioned in the commentary there.
00:28And, again, I think it's just a classic case of there's not enough load on the car.
00:34Drivers are hitting all their apexes.
00:35A little bit of overseer there is he's obviously clipped the kerb on the inside.
00:39But, otherwise, there's nothing to indicate that that is a dog of a car.
00:42Yeah, but, David, we've already spoken to Norbert Haug, who is obviously the Mercedes man,
00:46and he has been quite vociferous in his actions about this car.
00:51He says it's not a good car.
00:52They have to sort it out.
00:53Well, clearly, and that's to be shown here today,
00:57with the fact that neither of the cars have made it through into the final qualifying session.
01:00And, you know, without any doubt, both these drivers are well-capable to be at the front.
01:04Give them the car to do it, and they can do it.
01:07So there are some very significant problems in the hallway of McLaren at the moment.
01:12I think, though, looking on the positive side, with such a close grid,
01:16it is certainly within McLaren's capabilities to bounce back from this difficult first Grand Prix of the season.
01:21Yes, but the first Grand Prix, I don't have any problem with that,
01:25but it's certainly, you know, what are they going to do this particular weekend?
