Honestly bud, I don't expect Ron to be honestly honest. I mean, "We were once a great team which used to go for glory every year, however since the recent financial slump it seems we have tuned down our ambitions to winning races and pretending to go for Championships" rings a bit jaded for all the sponsors they have conned, don't you think?
You're right about them being one of the greatest teams in history, but that's history.
Come next year, I hope you stick around so I see your posts when Lewis outqualifies at least 1 McLaren and outraces at least 1 McLaren in nearly every race. In fact, I won't be surprised one bit if he ends up in front of at least 1 McLaren in the standings. I'm loving the fact that Merc are simply using these last races as test sessions, they were in position to win races early this season by doing much less in 2011 so I very much look forward to your posts when the season starts in 2013.
Utter nonsense Hammer! Ron in the same interview said there will be more championships in the future, which kind of counters the only win races claim.
Look you can have your petty and BITTER view of one of the greatest teams in the sports history. That's fine, come next year I cannot wait to hear you moan some more and the excuses you come up with about Mercedes. The only good thing about Lewis leaving McLaren is he will take his fanboys with him!
Good riddance!

Breaking News:Lewis Hamilton has officially overtaken The Fonz in race wins. With 88 races less. Lol(Without a specially built blown diffuser, illegal front wing, preferential treatment)
to Mclaren, I think he was expressing his own feelings regarding McLaren, not those of Lewis Hamilton...that's how I took it anyway.
Of course some of them are going to be 
about it all. And good riddance to them, "fer sure good buddy," (as the long-road truckers used to say when I visited my friend in Texas years ago). It's obvious that history is going to look upon this iteration of the McLaren team as one of the most inept of all time. The interesting thing to me is, what is history going to conclude was motivating them? Fascinating to watch, in all its dimensions of undeniable talent, genius, race, class, non-American culture (from an American perspective), money, and on and on it goes. Someone someday will write the definitive book on the subject, until then, we get to talk trash across the interwaves. 
, like it could have been otherwise. So thanks a million, all. I never know when I'm going to actually post/say anything (although I try to stop in and keep current, even when I don't comment much). So don't know if I'll be commenting again or not, but in any event --
