They go through twists and bends to prevent Red Bull from gaining acces to a powerful engine. It is sickening really.
Sorry, but you are putting the world on it's head. The order of events:
- After another bad season, McLaren is in doubt, certainly because they can't seem to find proper sponsorship.
- Dennis says that title-sponsors are a thing of the past (meaning he has to get the money elsewhere).
- Dennis says that only teams with works-engines can win titles (meaning he has to have a contract with a manufacturer).
- Dennis (or McLaren) sign Honda
- Honda sort of, actually becomes McLaren's title-sponsor, by bankrolling both the engine and god knows what else.
- McLaren can, for the next years at last, survive.
Now you can't tell me that you, as a fan, would like to see McLaren disappear from F1. If we assume Dennis is right about the title-sponsorship and the necessity to have a works-engine to win, the deal with Honda is elementary for their survival. If Red Bull would become the 1st team for Honda at this moment, you know what would happen. Honda would terminate the contract with McLaren or demand payments. That would be the end for McLaren - again, in the perspective of Ron Dennis.
Soooooo... you think it is sickening that Dennis tries to save his F1-team?
