It surely is. Too bad it has reliability issues and Kimi had little luck when it matters the most. If he had a little bit more luck, he would've been WC surely, but Kimi has had lots of bad fortune during his time at Mclaren.

Take it with a grain of salt, but it doesn't look good.

Replacing Vodafone fully is going to be hard, and Ron doesn't seem willing to compromise...

No he didn't. The word "blame" doesn't appear in the article.

He was asked what it was like having a rookie driver helping to develop the car. Button said that Magnusson is in his first year in F1 so he's still learning, he gives feedback on how the car is handling, but he doesn't have enough experience to know how changes to set up might change the car.

He was then asked if it was different when Hamilton was at McLaren, and the reply was that two experienced drivers can give more feedback and try different set ups.

Next week Sky Sports headline will be the shocker to end all shocks - "Button claims bears poop in the woods". What would we do without their measured insights eh?
Poor McLaren. They have a rookie and an experienced driver. None of them knows how to help develop the car.
wonder if this accurately represents the technical understanding of the Mclaren drivers?

The Alonso rumours keep on rolling. I have my doubts, but it at least raises the thought that the Honda deal is making McLaren more interesting for top drivers:

Now, in FP3 I don't know if Kevin and Jenson did times on super softs. They were faster than Force India and Williams on the softs, and very close tot he Ferrari, but when everybody went out on super softs they almost not improved their times while the other made big gains on super softs. Mclaren were just +200 slower than Alonso and faster than Raikkonen and both drivers of Force India and Williams. What happend when the others put the super softs?
