[ 2020 ] Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[Szabi1112]

This virus is far not as serious as the media say. It doesnt count one team, or every team withdraw, while everything else is going on in the same way. In particularly public transport. For now, thousands of people are in Melbourne. They arrived by flight, underground bus etc.

Are you some kind of pendemic expert or how can you make such a statement?

I read pandemic experts

Okey, if one collects information from the mainstream media, i believe they’re afraid. But it’s stupidity.

But okey, no australian gp. Why do they want to cancel it when every team, spectators and other supporting elements are there. Its too late. Now it doesnt matter that australian gp will be or not...

When you wait all winter for F1 to start And now what? We start where we ended in Spain in May!? :O

[MMMMMMMM]

McLaren have formally withdrawn from the Australian GP

Idiotism...

Why? One of their team members has tested positive, now that McLaren have withdrawn the race will not go ahead

So if McLaren call it a day, you believe the race will not go ahead.
I smell Mclaren is in trouble with Racing Point and Renault ahead of them, as test data shows and they are trying to force F1s hand here, just to buy themselves some time. It seems Ron is gone, but the spirit is still there...

You must be joking right?

[Giblet]

Yeah I'm going to want to see a source for that.

Sorry I'm trying to process just how stupid this comment is.

The whole of McLaren now have to isolate as well as anyone they came in to contact with which is pretty much every other team

[RonDennis]

The race won't happen anyway. They only caused more problems by actually going to Melbourne. I really don't understand the organisers or the FIA.

[Cenzo]

The situation is serious, downplaying it will be a huge global mistake.
McLaren did the right call, if one person is confirmed positive, expect a lot more coming in the next days

Money. Always was, Always will be!
Effectively:
For FIA/FOM: We ensured the agreed races for this year had the best chance of happening, so don't ask for money back Circuits / Governments.
For teams: We did our duty to the sponsors, so don't ask for money back.
etc... all the way down the chain
</end rant>

Please note that the thread is about the Mclaren team and is not a thread for general discussion about covid-19. Mclaren took a decision in the interests of the health and safety of their team members and others, and are to be commended for it. Discussing the situation in Italy is totally off topic and so offending posts have been removed.

[bauc]

Safety first, I respect the decision of the team.

[RonDennis]

Safety first, I respect the decision of the team.

Well, there wasn't anything else they could do.

Correct.

On a positive note, seems the Coca-Cola deal has been renewed. It appears on the side of the monocoque, as well as in the partners page on the website;

Yes, the team shouldn’t participate in Bahrain... I really wanted to see the team on track, but the wellbeing of the people is more important than the show.
