Mclaren's problems are from extreme car design

They've been down this road before.  As long as they sort it all out.

And in other news, is it any wonder Coke doesn't see the need to sponsor F1 when apparently most modern cars are designed on the Coke bottle and Tech Chief's and Team Principals are eager to drop the Coke name whenever they are describing the car's shape?

Mr. Ron Dennis has hailed the design as masterpiece. I have seen McLaren gone this path many a times. I think there will loads of failure for the McLaren in this season. Happy Days ahead Irisado  :D

It reminds me of Newey's designs for McLaren, specially on the later years, extremely compact designs with reliability issues. Looks like McLaren has brought the old demons back and left the angels in Red Bulls.

I'd rather that it was the Ferraris grinding to a halt with smoke billowing from their engines to be honest, in view of who their drivers are :P ;).

Still, McLaren is currently my top prediction for a double DNF in Melbourne.
