Was the interview with Brown ''user friendly'' ? YES, it was

But, his...lest say CV tells us that he is a very successful businessmen who is in love with the team and its history, and in the same time he shares the values and the working principles that Ron established in McLaren over the years. Now, the question is, will he trade long term success just to put few more stickers on the car or will he dig deep and hard to make the team win again, to provide all of the needed tools & resources while putting few more stickers on the car is the main question for me.

For now, I remain hopeful that Mclaren will go back to to top in the near future but like all things in life nofting is for sure.

P.S.

Do you guys think that now, when Mclaren will be more ''open'' to sponsorships there is chance to see the white & red livery back on the car as a means to attract more attention on the track? Ofcousre the livery would be in different form that would not symbolize the Marlboro days from the past :)

Only if their Title Sponsor has White/Red colors associated to them. You don't win new sponsors by advertising the (looong gone) Past.

Mclaren would do good stepping into a 'new era' and thus new 'livery' perhaps the Castrol/BP sponsorship would give that possibility, who knows.
White-green-red is an interesting combo, but i don't think well see that. In the interview there were words of seeking out new title sponsors and specifically luxury brands.
I don't see CastrolBP as Luxury branding but then again, neither does sensodyne.

What happened to that rumor that CastrolBP will join Mclaren next year and Mobil will move to RBR?

Nope, two very credible sources (Peter Windsor & Mark Hughes ) said that things got pretty personal between Ron and the Mansour Ojjeh and they've refused to provide any more feedback on the story since it was reallyindeed personal matters in question. Whatever happend, we can only guess, but you can read Ron's statement were he says he felt betrayed ect

BP seems to be almost done, but they still need a "big" sponsorhip. Hopefully this should happen in the next months if Brown does his job well.

What the point of sponsorship? Its not the way to win championship! They need good car, good engine and they are far off that!

Well more cashflow might do good in order to increase development rate but yes in general I agree, they need to work on all areas of the car and then to add stickers on the car as a financial boost

Are you actually suggesting that financial backing is not important for a race team?
