I read that McLaren are getting a Red Bull engineering for 2014. Maybe that will help in the design phase.
Is there any word on McLaren working on the '14 car and stop any work on the '13 car?

They really need Fernando Alonso, ASOAP!!
I think their problems run a lot deeper than that. A decent driver wouldn't hurt their cause though.Quote:

Any driver who gets to drive a championship winning car got lucky, because he gets helped by something outside of his control. Having said that, I think Button is a top notch driver but quite underrated. He won GPs in 5 different chassis built by three different teams, made a successful transition to from Brawn to McLaren car in 2010, and decidedly beat Hamilton in 2011. Even before 2009, he scored numerous podiums and one win for Honda.Quote:

I completely concur with this. They have single-handedly landed me last in FGP. The Wooden Spoon is almost mine!Quote:

Alonso ties Ham in points in '07, then avenges his spoil 8 years later (geez, has it really been that long ago???? :erm:
I know. Its unreal how F1 seasons go by. :crazy:Quote:
