Don't get me wrong, I love McLaren, but some of the decisions they take just makes my mind boggle.
1)F1 is not charity and you should use every advantage you have to win.
What was McLaren thinking getting rid of KERS after spending almost a year perfecting it and finnally reaping the rewards at the end of the season? If it's in the regulations and it makes you go faster use it!
McLaren in FOTA is just stupid. They should be in it to win it. Why is McLaren in FOTA anyway? When have other teams ever come to McLaren's defence? The other teams don't like McLaren and will use every opportunity to undermine them. Eff the gentelman's agreements.
I am dissapointed that they agreed to get rid of F-duct for next year as well due to FOTA. Ridiculous. Use everything you have to win!
2)Play to your strenghts.
McLarens have always been strong at mechanical grip. Even their dog of a car was showing speed at tracks like Monaco, Monza, Singapore, Abu Dabhi.
Generally you would be guaranteed a lot of tracks were McLaren's would be very competitive.
This year they've made a half assed effort to be "aero" completely compromising their main strenght, which means they're neither here or there in performance. They can't catch red bulls in high speed stuff and they're getting beat by cars like Renault in slow speed stuff.
What I would like to see is McLaren ditching FOTA and using everything to have to make the fastest car possible.
Go back to their old strenghts, mechanical grip.
Go back to KERS, the implementation is even more relaxed.
Keep the F-duct, can you imagine what KERS + Fduct would do? It would be devastating.
And finnaly ditch FOTA.
