Fernando Alonso's engine failed at Indy; who saw that one coming?

To those who haven't seen anything about the Indy 500, Fernando Alonso was having a great race. He even led some laps and was running the fastest average lap time… And then his engine blew up. I really hope the irony of that isn't lost on anyone. Also, it wasn't the first engine that McLaren Honda had been running this week. They already replaced one during practice and qualifying.

I think Honda has some serious work to do if they ever hope to continue landing engine contracts. McLaren has now had problems with Honda engines across two different sports. If I was a board member at McLaren I would be seriously considering starting talking with Mercedes, Ferrari, or Renault (if they haven't already).

What do you think about all this?

McLaren have some serious problems, starting with the Honda engine, clearly. I'm just glad Alonso live to see another day… Much as I'm not much of a fan.

Honda finance mclaren. Where could mclaren go for an engine?
honda haven't got the nano technology to make the engines like merc ferrari and renault do.

i expected alonso to smash it into the wall tbh

  • What are some things I need to know about The Honda Indy Toronto race? On July 20th I'm going to the Honda Indy Race in Toronto with my boyfriend. This is my first time going to any type of race and I don't really know a lot about Car races but I don't want to go without knowing what's going on and I don't wanna feel stupid when he starts talking about these things.
  • Weird whistling noise coming from my ATV engine? So i have a honda 250ex, and today whenever i would give it gas, i would here a strange whistling noise coming from the cylinder block in the engine. When in neutral the sound was not heard. I never heard this sound before and it made me a little nervous. Just wondering if there's a problem with it or if i need to replace something.
  • What's the value of a honda odyssey with a failed transmission? I paid $3750 FOR A HONDA ODYSSEY, WHAT WILL IT BE WORTH WITH A FAILED TRANSMISSION? VAN IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH All THE SAME TIRES, CLEAN INSIDE AND NO DENTS.
  • Mechanic said he rebuilt the engine, smoke coming out of engine, could it be the grease burning off? The mechanic said he rebuilt the engine to my 1974 Honda CB550 I bought from him. Said he rebuilt the engine and is in perfect running condition. He has many bikes lying around and seems as if he is a hobbyist for bikes. He told me that he basically greased up a lot of parts of the motor and it is burning the grease off. The next oil change I do should remove the excess grease.
