lipstick79 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2018 The majority of folk talk about, when Mclaren WERE the best, and how they have fallen. The GREAT Mclaren, with Ron Dennis at the helm - THEN powered by Mercedes. Designed by Newey. Ron & Newey could not agree, Ron said if U think U can do better, off U go then, go and do it. Which is how we got Red Bull Renault AND finger pointer - Vettel But before that, Newey were at Williams - remember them - then with the all conquering Williams Renault. Currently Williams ARE powered by Mercedes - the all conquering Mercedes Who is in a better position. Williams with the BEST power unit or McLaren with a respectable power unit after the dismal Honda project Ended. McLaren ARE still ahead of the replacement works Honda - Torro Rosso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radical-one 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2018 I look at it as TR being a Jr team of RB. So McLaren should be competing / leveling with Ferrari, RB, Merc, not TR. At least for this year. TR is mid-field chassis with rookie drivers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipstick79 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2018 Indeed TR IS the RB Jr. team. Red Bull WANT Honda, after McLaren DUMPED them. But instead of putting it directly in the RB, let it`s Jr. team take the heartache and poor performance whilst Honda are developing it. Then RB can have the glory without the pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radical-one 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2018 That is the plan I think. TR being the test bed, Less risk for RB and more time for Honda development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
