Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Nice interview, he can bring a lot to Mclaren in that respect than Kimi would. He and Lewis do a pretty good job with the PR stuff.
For Sure!!

I just realized something :o , Button said Pedro would be testing, that means Pedro does not have a race seat for any of the new teams this season.
For Sure!!

Not necessarily. Fisi is closing in on a Sauber drive but he's still the Ferrari test driver...

Thats exactly why he is closing in on the seat. Ferrari want him there. Using the link as engine supplier to give him a seat and keep him race ready.

Be that as it may, it highlights that it is possible to have two roles.

Ah I see what you mean now, makes more sense than how I read it the first time! I thought you were saying it wasnt as likely to be Fisi as he was ferrari test driver.

you're not suggesting McLaren will be a golfball with 4 wheels and a couple wings..!?

altho a 10% improved fuel efficiency with the dimple effect.. that's a significant saving for F1 in 2010.. 8)

haha, no not really suggesting that, just interested to see them talking about the 'dead zone' after all the chat on here. Having said that, it's not a ridiculous idea to try out, maybe on the engine cover and nose. I suspect you wouldn't want to do it on the wings though...

Why? It goes well with their sponsors and is iconic. Everyone knows a McLaren thanks to years of being Silver
