I was not aware that Coca-Cola extended their partnership with McLaren. That's great! But after reading the press release, they do this Driven to Deliver program with Amazon, I was wondering if why don't they push their new energy colas given that IMO they fit nicely into F1. And they do this Driven to Deliver campaign with Amazon. I'm wondering if there is potential deal to be made with Amazon.

Well, it is a battle royal of dick moves aparently :lol: Renault whoops Mclarens ass in first year of collaboration, while Mclaren returns whooping in the second year, they also achieve first podium. Then Mclaren refuses to colaborate with Renault, later they announce return to Mercedes power units. For a cherry on a cake, they snatch Ricciardo. Now Renault refuses to provide them with 18spec engine... :lol: :lol: There could be even more happening when the season starts with misterious engine failures for Mclaren. Who knows. STR had something similar in the past.

It has been said that when mclaren switched from Honda to Renault in 2018, there was a clause in the deal that stipulates the French manufacturer would not cover running older cars.

If someone said to you your food is not good enough we don't want anymore are you really going to serve that same person any food at all, when they realise they need your food?.

Honda may, either, not want to supply them with a PU for the 2017 car, or be unable to supply them a PU with Red Bull/STR contracts preventing this.

Im surprised they never got the 2012 or 2013 Mercedes powered V8 out of the mothballs and cracked on with it. Im positive that even if they brought out the 2014 Button/Magnussen V6T car out with a new more PG friendly nose, Mercedes could have supplied them with a PU. Maybe its down to the full team being included in this for COVID procedures.

This is leading me into the path that Renault have had enough, or Ciril isnt happy somewhere.

Maybe Renault aren’t planning on doing any tests themselves, so providing an engine for McLaren would be a non starter. They probably don’t want to give their main rivals any advantage whatsoever.

Renault do seen be be acting like a petulant child of late. Makes Daniel’s move and Mclaren’s switch to Mercedes look like the smart plays.

Seems as if there was a stipulation when McLaren signed with Renault that they would not cover any older cars.

Not entirely sure why but there we go.

I just hope Renault don’t suddenly start providing unreliable power in this final year of the deal.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

This stuff is buisness and times are tough. Nobody is going to lift a finger if it isn't specified in a contract.

Do we now that it was Renault that said "NO" to giving the PU for free or McLaren baulking at the price?
