As some of you may know i joined up on the McLaren-Mercedes member program about 6 months ago. My main reason was the hope of getting a pit tour at this years GP not for the pretty tshirt and backpack.
In the lead up to the Aus GP i made contact with the members liaison at McLaren named Marc and was put on the list for members to get a tour on the Friday morning. So i was awaiting a phone call that never came. I emailed Marc on thursday to see what was going on and heres the part that i do not get, he said he had rang the number supplied and spoke to a Brad and organised with this Brad the pit tour.
I then replied my number to check that it was the same one he rang, in which he replied it was the same one! And heres the clincher
He then said theres no more spaces and that i couldnt get in on the tour. yet didnt he ring this phantom Brad and organise one for him? his/my name was on the list surely i would just fit into this phantom Brads spot that funnily enough was meant for me in the first place?

I didn't take anything he said on face value, a simple "sorry we couldnt fit you in" would be disappointing but acceptable.

im becoming one disillusioned fan of this team

Sorry to hear this - sounds rotten.
Chin up.
And maybe it's time to switch allegiance to drivers rather than teams?

Nah, just watch it from a neutral point of view and root for the underdogs.

i cant just switch teams i cant really find it in me. Besides i like Heikki and though i do suppose i support Webber and wish him well because he is my countrymen.

[Hanwombat]

That sucks Brad
I do know what you mean though, I dont know what to think of the team at the moment... Oh well I always got BMW

[Selcouth_Feline]

Yeah I remember you telling me this. It was beyond ridiculous.

Not saying switch teams - just forgettaboutit and support individual drivers for whomever they might be driving.

I agree. All teams have some dark times, but I'm sure all this will be done with once Anthony pulls Lewis out of McLaren and puts him in AH GP.

[scotty]

Wtf? That guy was clearly fobbing you off, how lame.

[Gaz]

unlucky mate.

[7UpJordan]

That's ridiculous! McLaren are turning into a bit of a joke operation now. Sorry to hear they messed you around mate.
