2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[Singabule]

Toyota chance to F1 far larger than BMW. They need other way to throw money to racing development as LMP1 class dying. And with current collaboration to others manufacturers such as BMW and Subaru, collaboration with MCL is possible. But off course this is just wet dream right now

[RonDennis]

No sane company would join F1 in it's current state. No chance at all. There are also 0 rumors about the deal.

Wishful thinking.

I see McLaren back with Mercedes before Toyota.

[SmallSoldier]

I don't believe so. it just got mentioned that no manufacturer has interest in getting into F1 right now to get any engines, so i really doubt there'd be any, let alone Toyota from all.
I'd see BMW happening over Toyota but even that won't happen right now nor in 2021. There also will not be a new engine formula so again, i seriously doubt any new manufacturer will step in.

I do think Mclaren would prefer something else than Renault, especially after what happened with Sainz. It was like seeing Alonso all over again "No Power!".

Also, hasn't Coca Cola actually stepped down with the 'obscured' British American Tobacco sponsorship?

"Big names to arrive like paddy Lowe"

HAH no. there is ZERO CHANCE Mclaren will take on Paddy right now, if only due to the fact that the recent developments at Williams are not looking good at his resumé and thus no investor will ever accept him, even if paddy was zero to blame.

They announce a partnership with Coca Cola for the rest of the year and had them on the car this week... They didn’t stepped down.

Lol no sane company would partner up with McLaren the way things are right now.

[diffuser]

Are there any significant upgrades that will solve our balance issues?

They had those for Australia... it's probably just lost some weight so they could use more ballast.

The influx of Money would have to be Huge to keep the team afloat. Look how long it took Honda to come up to speed.

Sainz probably thinking why did I listen to Alonso and run away from Honda power...
Pretty lame to see him climbing out of a burning McLaren when he could have been in the other RB15.

Renault being the factory team might actually get better engines than McLaren. STR was getting PUs with used, 2nd rate parts. With Renault clearly out of the fight for 4th fastest team they will at least look to be ahead of their B-Team McLaren like they did to STR.

Second rate parts I can believe. Used parts I find hard to believe. Source?

Refurbished parts is word the use

[makecry]

I am pretty sure giving a customer team used or refurbs or "2nd rate" parts will be a major breach of contract.

ispano6 fierce fan of Honda, you should not take seriously his words about Renault.
I propose to return to the topic McLaren.

Renault did not give them an engine with second rate or use parts. TR was forced to reuse parts because Renault did not have (or make) any available. That is a bit different than getting an engine with used parts.
