Horrible season

This is just a terrible season, and it isn't going to get any better. Everytime i see Mclaren lose or have a DNF or an engine failure, i cant help but think of all the money wasted on the technology centre, instead of R & D for the cars. Ron Dennis has to get his head out of his ***.


5 points, thats all we have as a constructor

Yeah, the last major downturn of McLaren's fortune was concurrent with the F1 road car project. I think once the technology center is up and running things will turn around.

At least BAR almost took the fight to Ferrari last weekend.

At least Mercedes is doing well in the DTM - and as a bonus to a C-class sedan owner, they're racing your car, Chris!

Maybe we've got it wrong and F1 is really more about looking good than finishing well.

I know how you feel -- I've sort of lost interest in F1 this season.

I don't think this is far from the truth...

A weekend of blown engines. One in qualifying and both in the race. And the trend continues. There is no end in sight.

Well, they fired the head of the engine department Werner Laurenz.. Doubt that'll bring quick success though. Problem is/was he couldnt get along with Illien who he was supposed to work with.
