Yep, Seidl and now Key, two deckchairs on the sinking ship.

Lando must be hoping that Lewis retires at the end of this season, it’s his best chance to ever get into a winnable car.
Which car is that?

Zak's issue is that he took over a team with no money and a bunch of ancient out of date assets. It was always going to take a huge amount of time to turn round. I think (hope) its heading in the right direction. I think the first car that comes soley from the new wind tunnel will be the acid test
I hope that they do make a resurgence, although it won't be easy.

McLaren have been my fave F1 favorite team since my Dad worked for them when they were at Poyle Trading Estate in Colnbrook/Datchet. As an impressionable kid I sat in their car outside their factory, imagining...
Nice story, and yes it’s sad to see them slip so far down the grid this season.

They have to hope that the new wind tunnel can do the job, but the difficult bit is setting it up and correlating the results. I wonder if they might first so something with it that isn’t an F1 car, just for the fine tuning?

Another weird anti Fred comment.

I don't get them, Fred is very simple, work with him and he's magic, work against him and he gets upset, pretty much like anybody else.

As far as I see Mclaren are fully accepting of where they are and why they are there.
