Also I didn't noticed until now but now on the side of the McLaren there's a "HYBRID" written under the classic "HONDA" sign.
He's staying which I think is the right thing. Stability within a team, especially next year, is more important than ever as the working relationships are already built. Zac Brown said in the latest article on Skysports that McLaren are feeling pretty bullish about making a similar jump like they did this year.godlameroso wrote:I'll laugh if he leaves and then McLaren goes on to win with Vandoorne.
