Good grief. Hands up who thought when the original thread was created it would need a second version?!

 

Given how quickly the decision seems to be taking McLaren I bet it'll go to a third...

Boom, I figured it out.

McLaren just needs to start a second team.


Not that damn hard to figure out Ron.

It's funny that a team that wants to be treated as the most "professional" one makes itself like something exactly opposite. I will laugh if they choose JB and he tells them he already signed a deal with porshe for WEC.

This second part will not be officially recognized until someone comes in with a post that begins with "I think..." or "Don't you see what's going on?" and then revealing his/her brilliant idea: some old scenario dicussed eons ago in the first part (e.g.: "I think that they aren't taking into account that Jenson scored more points than Kev!" or "Don't you see what's going on? They are waiting to see if Lewis will come back to McLaren!")

 

Only then I will consider this as a proper second part.

I've just worked it out! Don't you see that it's all because they're waiting for Alonso? Once he sees if Merc will have a seat open or not, then he'll decide.

 

That's what I think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it officially part 2 yet?

No, no and thrice no.

Jenson/Kevin sucks/rules and should be sacked/kept.

Dennis/Whitmarsh is an idiot/genius.

Why bother doing it at all?  They could have Stig X and Stig Y, never removing their crash helmets.  Then we could have "Who is driving for McLaren in 2015 Part 392"..... :|

No no no no. We do not want to give Ron even more options. If he is struggling this much to fill one car out of two then how much won't he struggle with filling two cars out of three ... we're looking at a driver annoucement in December 2016 ... for 2015 ....

Why is people dissing Ron in this, it's not just his choice, shareholders board needs to agree.

It's Ron that makes the decision and suggests it to the board. The rubber stamp to make the contract legal.

We always blame Ron. We blame Ron, Whitmarsh, Sam Michael, Christian Horner, Helmut Marko and Sebastian Vettel. It's what we do.

Man, I've just seen the 2012 season review, my god did McLaren **** up big time, having the quickest car and all...

 

I'm willing to bet that this thread will go to at least page 31.

 

By the way, do they have a title sponsor, yet? I've been waiting literally a year.

I bet that'll be fun. "Have you signed our dearly beloved Jenson yet? If you haven't, we're not letting you leave this building until you've sorted something out." :rolleyes:

Does that mean that someone from McLaren PR is reading forum threads?
