I think it's safe to assume that this car would be lapping the field with a Merc PU.

They accidently changed the setup which made the tyres overheat by 1c . Otherwise they would have been pole by 3 seconds.

Mclaren may not have the best chassis but they have the best comedian of the grid in Eric Boulier.

If McLaren doesn't buy ideas ( i.e poach engineers from Red Bull & Mercedes), they are not gonna win anything at least in the next couple of years. Where is that jost capito guy, who was supposed to take over the racing side of Mcl by june ?
Maybe he will bring in some quality engineers.

""We have been lacking some grip in the front and when you don't have the confidence here in Monaco every lap is a very hard test, because you need to attack and you don't know how the car will handle." - Alonso

They were even better in Barcelona. This is a disaster.
