2017 Mclaren F1 Team - Honda

[the EDGE]

I really hope not [-o< [-o<
If he stays then we have a change. That means he can lead the whole team.

TG (Technical Director) and EB (Racing Director) must be on same level reporting to JC.

PP (Aerodynamics) and MM (Engineering) just below them. I think that's a good workable management structure.

Well his still listed as CEO on their website http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/team/management/

I don't think it's up to date. Zac Brown isn't listed.

Nope, but Zac is listed here as Executive Director [urlhttp://www.mclaren.com/technologygroup/about/people/][/url]

Zac's role is not limited to the F1 team, where as Jost Capito's role is, I'm not saying his definitely still at McLaren, but i doubt he still be listed as working there if they had fired him

McLaren to start contract talks with Alonso few races into 2017. Not surprising

He's definitely committed to the project, but his contract is up and he's in high demand as you can imagine,” Brown confirmed.

“[Sebastian] Vettel's out of contract next year [too], that's my understanding. So as you can imagine, next year's going to be an exciting driver market.

“Obviously we'd love to keep him. He's one of the greatest drivers on the track, if not the best.

“But we're just going to see how things go and kick off those conversations a few races into the year.”

Brown also conceded that Alonso's decision will hinge on how McLaren-Honda performs and if it can make another step forward.

“Yeah. If I were him, I'd want to see how we perform before I started making decisions,” Brown added. “You can't blame him for that.”

“But I think we're all waiting to see and that goes both ways,” he underlined.

According to the Fifth Driver on the McLaren App there should be some news today. Probably the Car Reveal Date, also the Watch thingy with Richard Mille is today.

Edit: So that's the Watch, go figure what colours the 2017 Car will have.

Thunders, I think they've must noted that it is a one off as otherwise we would all go crazy about the ''new'' livery

But this gives me hope that we might see more orange on the next car

That's a cool Picture:

Also the McLaren Twitter has an updated Header Picture with that Livery too.... https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/820939278947598337

There is also a countdown on the McLaren home page too but they are an hour apart!!!!

[Thunder]

You're right lol. Hmm, do we trust a Watch Maker or the Company that builds the Car? ^^

I think one uses a hard countdown, the other your PC Time.
