Why are McLaren so crap?
Discussion
What exactly went wrong at McLaren?
It's almost 4 years since they won a race.
OK they had some teething problems with the Honda engine, but they've had nearly three years to force Honda to up their game or find another engine supplier.
Is it down to Mercedes and Ferrari being the only real alternatives which are impossible due to conflicts with the road car brand they're trying to build?
Their history of crap performance must be affecting their sponsorship possibilities and the prestige of the road cars.
Couldn't Judd or someone build them an engine?

Alonso seems to have had the worst of times at McLaren.
The year he first joined them he was trumpeted all over the place as being the new face of the team, but that year a young whippersnapper called Lewis Hamilton also got a drive in F1 with McLaren, who then went on to dominate.
The next time Alonso returns to McLaren they build him one of the worst cars on the grid.
