The fall of McLaren

[zako85]

Time is not a luxury one is afforded in F1.........

McLaren evidently can afford to take its sweet time. No constructor titles since 1998. They'll bounce, eventually.

Exactly. Absurd for a team of their lineage to not have a constructors in that length of time. They could have in 2007 had they not been excluded.

Still, ridiculous situation for McLaren at the moment. If I were a driver I wouldn't want to drive for them. I'd be a nearly man. Might get lucky once every 15 years and that's about it. I'd also be willing to bet that's a lot of the reason as to why Lewis left.

i definitely view them as a geniuine top team ...

It pains me too much to talk about McLaren. uch:! Just mentioning the name hurts...

You're not gonna win a championship with Button as your number one driver unless you produce a car far superior to the opposition.

agree with you man.

As a Mclaren fan, this has been a very painful season thus far.

Unfortunatly we're approaching that part of the season now where even if they did return to winning ways it's pretty much too little too late.

I like Jenson Button but have to somewhat agree that his only at his best when the Car is, Hamilton proved himself in 2009 by pushing a very mediocre Car to it's limits, No doubt had he stayed at Mclaren this year He would probably still have more Points than Button and Perez combined.

Still keeping my fingers cross they might at least achieve a Podium before the end of the year, but I'm certainly not going to be placing any bets.

It's when teams like Caterham and Marussia start out pacing them that's when I'll start worrying :P

Are you saying that in 2011 Mclaren had the best car? So lewy finished 5th while driving the best car? Your logic here seems pretty daft.

I think the Honda engines in 2015 could be a huge help for them

With the loss of money that McLaren are going to win this year by finishing behind Force India, I'm beginning to wonder how much of a 'pay-driver' Sergio Perez is for the team........
