Don't give a fig what colour it is,
Just in its performance.
They wil probably start the year badly again, talk about some new tech/design/engine that they just 'have to get working' then go down hill from there.

I remember when McLaren first went testing with the Honda power train, and Ron Dennis kept calling it a "peach of an engine" as it yet again shat out its innards on the pit lane exit.

There is a difference between talking yourself up, and spouting utter nonsense.

“Also, let's not forget, Honda is a fantastic power-unit partner. No company in the world manufactures more engines than Honda does - absolutely none - and the Honda engineers have a tonne of knowledge about turbocharging.”
Although what he said sounds much better than:-voice of reality said:
We're allied to the manufacturer of the weakest PU on the F1 grid

mclaren have this habit of talking themselves up all the time, and then not delivering, whilst every other team in the pit lane seems to stay fairly quiet,

If that happens I don't think we'll see Honda involved in 2019Just in its performance.

Hopefully they will invest in development this year now the rules allow it.

More de-Ronning of McLaren, the new car won't be an MP4, its the MCL32.

Sad, crass, but totally predictable. They'll be tossing out Bruce's Austin 7 next. Heritage clearly counts for nothing there any more.More de-Ronning of McLaren, the new car won't be an MP4, its the MCL32.
Nothing wrong with that, it's McLaren so it has a MCL tag, the P4 in MP4 stood for Project Four which was the Ron Dennis F2/F3/Procar team he ran before buying McLaren. Before Ron Dennis they were just M for McLaren. You could say Ron had no sense of heritage when he added the P4 in 1981.

So why not return to M for McLaren? If they were going to go totally new they might as well have called it the ZB-01.carl_w said:

That was my point, but some don't seem to be able to exert their brains to the extent to understand that. Or maybe I have to spell it out a little more for those people not blessed with intellect?
