McLaren's shareholders not happy
Discussion
I just watched that interview on BBC with Ron. As he points out, they know where they are weak and can do nothing about it, and they know where they are weak but can do something about.
He also pointed out that they [McLaren] don't believe you can win without being the works engine number one team. He said that was the significant reason to change.
I think McLaren will be back on form next year.

So much for Ron's "win win" when they became a mercedes customer team then.....He also pointed out that they [McLaren] don't believe you can win without being the works engine number one team. He said that was the significant reason to change.

Perhaps sponsorship is part of the reason for attempting to sign Alonso. Santander already sponsor McLaren, and already sponsor Alonso, so if you put it all together, Santander could become McLaren's new title sponsor.

Wasn't there a rumour of Gillette being McL title sponsors next season?
Already a sponsor of the team, doubt they will pay Ron's rate card for title, very few can afford that level.StevieBee said:
I'm fairly certain that RD said several years ago that one of the intentions behind McLaren's move into road cars was to generate revenue to a level that would reduce the F1 team's reliance upon sponsorship.
That might have been one of the original thoughts behind the road car business but unfortunately it will not be providing the F1 team with funding to supplement their lack of sponsorship because:1. the road car business has not been a financial success, and
2. McLaren don't actually own very much of their road car business (less than 4.5%).
