lipstick79 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2017 After the DISASTER of the reunited Mclaren-Honda. All Mclaren could do were to swap the WORST PU (Honda) for the, Second WORST (Renault). However it IS a race WINNING PU - to KEEP Alonso happy & sign. McLaren WILL directly be up against Red Bull Renault/Cosworth Honda WILL B working hard with TR IF (expected) Honda DO manage to solve their issues, and PRODUCE a winning PU Red Bull WILL jump on board, as a customer McLaren THEN expected to resign as a Honda CUSTOMER At THIS stage it looks like McLaren has NOWHERE to go, to be a WORKS team AGAIN, in the near future. Can`t go to Ferrari, Can`t really go BACK to Mercedes as a customer Renault have their OWN team, NOT seen yet just how good the Mclaren Renault will B The way I see it is, Mclaren COULD resurrect Cosworth AND B the Cosworth WORKS team. It IS a gamble but, so were bringing Honda back, which has NOT paid out, though the FREE PU & Honda Money HELPED Cosworth also DON`T have the resources of Honda TR/Red Bull COULD benefit from the Honda resurrection INSTEAD of Mclaren It is HIGHLY rumoured that Cosworth CONTINUED developing their PU They COULD have something in somebodies shed somewhere that would blow the field away !!

Do you remember Honda prelude? It will be resurrection of iconic relationship (said RD), which will blow them all off the map (said British media). Yeah, right. With respect to reversing history, and return to golden age of "garagiste” where V10 is King, I doubt that to happen as well. This is age of corporations which made some people in the background very rich, and return of back-alley two horse handyman will not generate enough cash to satisfy invested debtors. If that change will be forced, then some teams may leave, and those who stay will have to fight d#ck&Harry Ltd. I can visualize America being "all ears" to that fight.

To attract OTHERS From lights-out to chequered-flag. Nothing much occurs. The race is generally won/lost on a Saturday, making Sunday a formality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
