Supposing that´s true....

How much faster they will be with 150hp more? More or less obviously

Some say that Ferrari were 60hp down from Mercedes last year. Last year Ferrari were 1s slower. So around 2.5s?

I guess they mean last year's Mercedes?

I wish we could get Ross Brawn. He would be the perfect guy to lead McLaren back [-o<

bit1817: I remember McLaren was always saying - it's easier to make a fast car reliable, than making a realiable car fast.
I agree.

And look at Renualt currently. This is proof of how difficult this technology is and both are sure they can solve their problems.

I agree with you. McLaren-Honda have a lot of nice Coronels but they need a five star General, that General is Ross Brawn.

Nut sure if Ross would still be the 5 star General you're talking about after those years of fishing. :) Even Ross would need several years to get the team back together as it should be. Ross Brawn is not the key to success. It's a team of Ross Brawn's that lead you to success (or back in the Ferrari Days; Ross, Jean, Michael, ...)

How is this situation reflecting on Mclaren's financial position at the end of the season ?
I mean they don't have title sponsor and with this car they will not earn lot of points this season so their share of money earned at the end will not be huge!

The first thing Mclaren did wrong was hire Whitmarsh
the second thing Mclaren did wrong was keep Whitmarsh
The third thing Mclaren did wrong was then hire Eric Bouillier.
The fourth thing they're doing wrong is keeping Eric Bouillier.

take some lessons from Ferrari, Mclaren.

They'll be there eventually this year, but they could have 'been there' from race 1, and they could have been
there the past 3 years aswell if they did what Ferrari did this season's 'switch'.

I'm not entirely sure Ron needs to go, I just think Ron needs to stay at Mclaren Automotive. I do understand he
had to pop up his head at the F1 foray again because nobody was doing their work right.

while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

I like Whitmarsh, but he was to nice. Bouillier am not a fan off, I always feel like hes lying or something. :lol:

I am glad Sam M is gone, but hes left his bloody jinx at the MTC.

Rock and a hard place, guess Ill be drinking plenty of this all season:

Even after his fishing trips, relaxing and all that beautiful live on the beach, inside he is a "nasty and cold blood" General and I firmly believe that he maybe be is the solution to Mc-H. Contrary to your thinking or believe, I believe that RB is the key to success, If you look back from 1991 with Benetton, Ferrari, Brawn GP until he left Merc all find the winning path and championships, I´m not sure but, no other Technical Director of the new F1 era is more successful than him. Obviously is not only him, he need a team, but he have a natural feeling to know what the team need and he make it happen.

What a disappointing debut from Mclaren-Honda. We have been waiting so long for this. I hope they have better luck in Malaysia.
