McLaren are saying they would be disappointed if they end up 4th in WCC this year. After so many disappointing years, where do you think they will end up?

I take it that we are assuming that Renault will continue to be also-rans?
Outside the top 3, possibly Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari, I think there will be Williams, Force India, McLaren and Renault all having reasonable aspiration at getting 4th, but could easily be 7th, or worse.
And the one thing we can be reasonably certain about is that Mercedes will not have allowed their PU to fall back in performance. I think McLaren could easily be being way too optimistic, given that the new Honda PU has yet to drive a car for real.
McLaren should shut down their PR department until they have some solid results behind them. But maybe, just maybe, they might have found the magic bullet for the new aero rules and they will cruise to an easy win, like many of us would really welcome.
