And for that you would blame ron dennis. I know its a broken record but no experience in the team means that they should expect this until lewis learns the finer points of car development. Until that kimi will continue to dominate
Mclaren will not win anything this season and you are right saying 1 title in 9 years is pathetic. Is that any more clear an indication that Ron's time has come?
I agree, but felt the need to rebuke DeMuRe's attempts to wind up certainly people on the forum. Hamilton didn't do his best in Malaysia and Bahrain and, even if he did, the car wouldn't have been good enough anyway. Spain was pretty for McLaren as far as I'm concerned. Still, it could have been worse, but not by much. I think there are a number of things wrong, such as the two young drivers not getting the best out of the MP4-23, the moratorium on development on certain parts of the car, the $100,000,000 fine, and general McLaren inconsistency.

Slightly off topic, but I think it needs said. Although I didn't expect big things from McLaren this season, in the next two or three years the team needs to put up a serious title challenge consistently. It's getting slightly embarrassing and slightly annoying that McLaren have not won anything for the best part of a decade. Even if you say McLaren did win the constructors' title last season, one title in nine years is a poor showing for the money and facilities McLaren and Mercedes have both. After a year or two, McLaren can have no excuses for not producing a quality car: Hamilton and Kovalainen will be experienced, the Technology Centre was finished long ago and there will be no moving to it as what was going on c. 2004, and the spy scandal, although not forgotten, will be in the past.
