I think Mclaren could well be in trouble if Manor signs a deal with Mercedes for PU's. The word is that if Renault buys Lotus, Lotus won't be having Mercedes PU's next season, which means Mercedes will have an open slot to provide PU's for a 4th team. If it goes through, then there's also a chance that we could see Pascal Wehrlein in a Manor next season. This would also mean that whereas Ferrari has a satellite team in Haas F1, Manor would be Mercedes' satellite team.
Wehrlein not in a Force India? That's because Force India might have refused to be Mercedes' satellite team.
Exciting times...
at which point in time McL will no longer be able to count on Manor to avoid being DEAD LAST.
Anyway, sorry to see that McL is exactly where I said it would be right after pre-season testing: nowhere.
Very sadly the situation is really as bad as I expected back then and back then I was trying to get prepared for the worse hoping in some nice surprises. The worst materialized. And there is not even a thing I could imagine for getting out of this deep deep hole. Obviously I am counting on people much smarter than me to find a way. I am pessimistic though, so far such intelligence has proven completely idiotic. The sushi's cannot get their fishes together and Arai is embarrassing.
