maure 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 They're not having troubles with KERS.They're not having troubles with the rear wing. They're not having troublues with lack of pace. They're having troubles with the photocpier. That's funny. Who knows...everybody are ruling out Mclaren but it's a big team and if someone can turn things around it's them.That said,big teams also have crisis,and especially in years with big rule changes,like Ferrari in 2005...anyway,letswaitandsee. That's very true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Mclaren are indeed screwed! McLaren are working to produce a car fast enough for world champion Hamilton McLaren say they face a race against time to match the pace of their rivals ahead of the opening Grand Prix of the 2009 Formula One season on 29 March. World champion Lewis Hamilton's car has performed poorly in pre-season testing. Team boss Martin Whitmarsh said: "We are working hard to resolve a performance shortfall." Norbert Haug, engine partner Mercedes' motorsport boss, added: "We are definitely not fast enough and not competitive enough to aim for wins." During this week's test in Barcelona, Hamilton and his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen were well adrift of rivals Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Renault, Toyota and the new Brawn GP cars, which have only been up-and-running for a week. Hamilton finished bottom of the timesheets on Wednesday after damaging his front wing and nose and was almost two seconds down on Rubens Barrichello's fastest time for Brawn GP on Thursday. 606: DEBATE Although McLaren's pace in testing hasn't been scintillating, I really doubted it was an indication that times were that bad. McLarenm23 When asked if the MP4-24 was fast enough, Whitmarsh conceded: "Not at the moment - and certainly not by our team's extremely high standards. "Next week we will be testing at Jerez, which many of our rivals will not be. "We aim to continue to develop the car, and the result should be measurable on the stopwatch. "Will MP4-24 be as quick as we want it to be by 29 March? Perhaps not. "Will it be quicker than it has been this week at the Barcelona test? Yes." The 2009 season, which kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix, sees the sport's biggest rule changes for 25 years. The new regulations, designed to increase overtaking, have reduced the cars' aerodynamics, reintroduced slick tyres and given teams the option to employ the Kers energy recovery system. McLaren's poor performances over the winter have led to suggestions that the team have not effectively interpreted the rule changes. The MP4-24 is running with an updated aerodynamic package in Barcelona but is still struggling McLaren chairman Ron Dennis conceded this week that the development of the car is a little behind schedule. The team only began consistently running with the 2009 rear wing - which is taller and narrower than the 2008 version - in Barcelona after using last year's model during early testing in Portugal and Jerez. Whitmarsh confirmed the car's new aerodynamic package is at the root of the team's problems. "Initial testing of the MP4-24, which first ran with an interim aero package, went in accordance with our early developmental expectations. "This week the car has run in Barcelona with an updated aero package and a performance shortfall has been identified "Our Mercedes-Benz engine is strong so the MP4-24's performance shortfall is clearly chassis-centric. "Ron, Norbert and I have enormous faith in the ability of our engineers and we are working as hard as they are to make the MP4-24 competitive enough to win Grands Prix." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They make awful lap times so everybody thinks they are really good and just sandbagging...but the truth is they actually suck! How devilish are they?
