Following the demotion of Ron Dennis as the company's chief, McLaren Technology Group has announced that Zak Brown has accepted the position of Executive Director. The former McLaren F1 driver is set to start work in December.
Hasegawa said that engine's driveability is ok.(after qualifying)Mad wrote:Honda tested the Monaco setting for 2 days in the Post Barcelona test. Times posted were respectable and drivers were relatively happy. Now They can't get in the top 10 because of PU's poor drivability.
no penalty for KvyatSayeman wrote:"Kvyat's STR fails front floor flex test",
This, kimi's penalty and rain makes me optimistic for tomorrow since we have 2 very experienced drivers.
Looking at those orange cars... it's a shame McLaren didn't ask for a special orange livery change for the occasion.zeph wrote:Short promo film commemorating McLaren's 50th anniversary:

Another comedy turn from Eric, I cannot fathom as to why he was hired in the first place apart from the fact he is clearly nothing more than a Ron Dennis yes man. He didnt set the world alight at Lotus. I have supported McLaren for nearly thirty years and its embarassing to watch the team these days.Sayeman wrote:"Eric Boullier still believes McLaren has the third-best chassis in Formula 1 - but only on certain circuits."

It basically implies that Jensen will leave at the end of the season, since Alonso has a contract in place. This seems strange, since Ron has been so overly confident that Mclaren currently has the best driver line-up. Why change when there is nothing wrong in that respect?
And then the other thing.. Ron has always said Mclaren want the best possible drivers that are available to them at any moment in time. Why aren't we hearing rumors connecting Rosberg to Mclaren then? Surely he would be the best option for Mclaren to benchmark Alonso against. Alonso's racecraft is beyond doubt, but his ultimate speed isn't. Mclaren needs to become stronger in qualifying, which Rosberg could do for them.
Going back to Vandoorne, if Mclaren really thinks he is the future, why not give him more (any!) FP1 outings to prepare him for next year.

True. But you never know,.. they could show Rosberg the same shiny Honda facility that they showed Alonso, in order to convince (deceive) him.Vasconia wrote:Rosberg should be crazy if he goes to Mclaren. Its a truly risky move...
