Can't see Mclaren being quite so bad next season. So I have to vote them.
I would then go Haas.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Aw hang on, I voted Haas but meant McLaren. Haha that's cheeky putting them as a backmarker (but seriously that Honda engine had seriously better improve - seriously) - I blame only just waking up after mammoth hours at work + much burning of candles at both ends.

Tricky, Haas look to be heading in the right direction with Ferrari bits, decent driver, some budget, but they are new. Manor with half a Williams and a new Merc engine should be big improves. McLaren have a very good chassis and the Honda internal combustion engine is apparently comparable with the field. If they can sort the electrical energy part they'll take a huge leap. Personally I think they'll all beat Sauber, Haas and Manor will fight it out for 2nd bottom, McLaren will be up with or ahead of Force India and Renault and nipping at the heels of Williams.

I voted for Haas. Think they got a decent Engine and a good driver. The Honda Engine wont take MacLaren far.

I'd expected McLaren to be back up with the midfield next season so I can't see any of the others really challenging them.

Manor has an advantage with that Merc engine at their backs.

I would love to be proved wrong but I see the Mercedes engine doing nothing but closing a 5 second gap to 4 second in Manors case. Mclaren must improve I would have thought and Haas will probably be around Manor.
