More details about McLaren's technical leadership changes are becoming public as it has now become clear that Toro Rosso's highly valued technical director, James Key, is set to join McLaren in the same role.
This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
We have talks about different Set Ups between the Cars, different Pitstop Strategy, Race Strategy and Penalties in Quali here. That is NOT what is to be Discussed in this Thread.
Getting a tad terse there, aren't you T..
& since when.. is Alonso "NOT" part of Team McLaren-Renault F1?
Surely the functional capability/winning potential of the lead driver - is a merit-worthy point of discussion - for this thread?
It's Monday morning, i'm as relaxed as i can be.
To sum it up: Want to talk about Alonso in everything McLaren or F1 related? This Thread is fine.
Want to talk about Race Strategy of the Spa 6h, in which Alonso coincidentally participated? Make a Thread in the Forum i linked.
And let's end it on that Please.
Ok T, just saw this.. its all cool by me.. ta..

I would assume that, along with the new engine cover, there will be revised internals which could yield them some significant reduction in drag too.
Did they solve the problem with the engine cover overheating in some places? I seem to remember they had to drill holes on the back of the engine cover.

Not sure whether to be happy or not with all of those leaks
Think of it this way, the leaks may be coming from inside Mclaren, off the record sources, that would be good, right?

Whit all the updates that are anaunced in AMuS , i am told that those are smaller than changes under the hood.
Source? Good one.
They must be changing PUs again, then.
