You mean they are supplying the sticker for the Ilmor engine ;-)Originally Posted by john
They are still supplying the engines though
McLaren get the engines till 2012 with an option for extension, by which time I'd expect them to either have a tie in with someone else or be making their own engines to coincide with the road car project. All in all, they've done pretty well out of this.
But withdrawing their much needed sponsorship moneyThey are still supplying the engines though
2010 is definately going to be interesting, with all these drivers changing teams and the new teams/drivers that are also entering
But I'll be rooting for my usual two suspects Rubens firstly and then Felipe second, my two favourites in that order.
I can't see him being the same driver after the accident, but you never know.2010 is definately going to be interesting, with all these drivers changing teams and the new teams/drivers that are also entering

Canny wait to see the heat in the Ferrari garage, Massa & Alonso
Still conviced that Button moving is Mercedes doing!
Don't see it being a great mix, I would put cash on a Massa, Alonso team rather than Button & Hamilton
Alonso doesn't exactly have a good track record when he has a competitive team mate, nor one who is so embedded in the team like Massa is.
It'll be 2007 all over again, and Kimi will get his seat back ;-)
LoL, exactly what I thought.It'll be 2007 all over again, and Kimi will get his seat back ;-)
Alonso likes it to be his ball, his game. He's good, just no that good
Let's just see

Did I not hear that Kimi is going to retire if he doesn't get the McLaren drive

The official line is that he has taken a sabbatical, so he's off racing in the WRC and possible Le Mans.Did I not hear that Kimi is going to retire if he doesn't get the McLaren drive
I think it worked out that if he didn't drive in F1, Ferrari would pay him 17Million, but if he did race, he'd be paid 10million. McLaren were offering 6 million, but then the opportunity to get Button came along so Kimi was out of the equation.
McLaren signed Button to get one over on Mercedes, who are now left with a big manufacturer support, good technical team, already at the right size of team and no big name drivers (Rosberg is good but a bit unproven in a lead role).
