Dont forget the Petronas fuel as well as a performance factor between the cars of the Mclaren & Williams teams, since it was designed specially for the Merc engine way way in advance and its currently used only by Merc & Williamsringo wrote:After looking on Mcalren's performance relative to Williams, i believe that their power unit is less maximised than the williams package. Mercedes may have done this at the start of the season knowing full well that Mclaren will be switching to Honda.
I really believe that the ERS is more advanced in the Williams and Mercedes car.
In fact it would be silly of Mclaren to try and benchmark the honda engine to the Mercedes PU, as they would be selling themselves short. It's the long term partners like williams who are enjoying the fruits of mercedes labour.
Mclaren simply got a 6 for 9 from Merc when they declared that they will be switching to Honda.
Horner strikes me more as the guy being chained up by his fiancee. I'd see him going to Mercedes before trying to tell Geri Hariwell what she can and can't do. After all, she had that song something with making men rain down. Maybe she'll do a do-over of that song where she throws Horner off a skyscraper in the videoclip to emphasise the title.lotus7 wrote:But.... Geri is now hooked to Horner. Will she be "contractually" allowed to Spice up a Mclaren party ?
Halleluja !she had that song something with making men rain down
