Erm kinda. However today (and Suzuka and Interlagos) gave me the impression Lewis flattered (as did Kimi) the car he drive. Lewis looked relieved to see the end of the MP4-24.Am I the only one sad to see the MP4 -24 go? The car without Kers is a huge uncertainty. If the season just started we know we could be winning the WDC. Macca got its arm twsited by Ferrari and Renault

Don´t get horny, boys. McLaren´s improvement has been amazing, but if Ferrari hadn´t lost Massa they would have been the third force (even after they decided not to improve the F60 since july).

I wonder what a "extreme DD" is

We don't need those silly things that normally lead to stupid discussions and then close the threads.
We managed to put a good level of discussion on the MP4-24 thread all over the last 12 months, so let's try to make the same thing here, right?;)

He may every well had flattered the car but the team are still heading to an uncertainty. I would have loved to keep Kers if only to annoy that cry baby Vettel

I think KERS with bigger fuel tanks would cause too much of a rearward weight distribution.He may every well had flattered the car but the team are still heading to an uncertainty. I would have loved to keep Kers if only to annoy that cry baby Vettel

Q: With only two races to go the focus must be on the 2010 car. How far along is that process?
MW: The car is very developed. Aerodynamically it is already superior to this car because we were able to work with the regulations as they are now being interpreted. So one can imagine that there is a relatively extreme double diffuser system on the car and it is quite a radical departure from this year’s car. We’re spending all our development resources on that project and it looks exciting. We will have a very competitive car next year, because frankly if not, you can’t win a championship as we did this year.

Yes but they know they have more foundation to progress with Aero than Red Bull etc. Last year they only had internal targets.I want to get excited about this but I wont!! Anyone remember Whitmarsh and Laceys comments about the MP4 - 24 in Dec 2008?

Yes but a more neutral suspension like Brawn could be more useful next year with no refuelling.I don't think anything is wrong with the suspension, its one of the best in the business for Kerb riding.
Driver further forward I think is almost a given.

I know quite how Lewis could keep pace with Vettel with a fairly sigificant problem shows how quick the Car+Driver combo was around this track.The brake issue compromised his race. Not only because he had to retire; it ruined his pace. All the indications were he was at least 2-3 tenths quicker than the Red Bulls all weekend.
The brake issue today was very peculiar; it affected just one corner of the car.

Someone mentioned it already, the revolutions / evolutions on the MP4-24 were rediculous (as in fast), every race there was something fundamentally new, diffusers / chassis / bodyworks / wings / and the list is long ... McLaren has one of the best development facilities as we seen this year, what was the 'B' version worth in secs? About 2 seconds? And still McLaren brought new parts, nothing is good enough, nothing is fast enough.
I'm proud to be a McLaren fan.MP4-24, and hail MP4-25!

Mercedes stays with McLaren even after 2011?
Posted 01 November 2009 - 15:39
Can someone translate this?
Posted 01 November 2009 - 15:40
Mercedes to keep 40 percent of the stake, not with an ease to their hearts, over a long period of time. They wont discuss possible buy in at Brawn.Can someone translate this?

It has to be good news, Merc engine and money input.
Whatever it gives more time to plan.
But, its a pretty unreliable source, or rather unconfirmed source.

We'll see. Ron is a very tough negotiator and if anyone could persuade Merc to stay on Ronzo's the man.BBC 5-Live reported that too.

So, I assume that the second car will drive the dutch-speaking driver
