Oh ho but he will, just not as a driver. Unless Liberty chases out the old guard on Sky with a big stick he'll be the new Boring McDull for a few years before going off to work for daddy. Your grandchildren will be wondering why you are yelling at the TV about petulant frauds whenever "British GP Track owner and former F1 driver Jollyon Palmer" is trotted out for anecdotes about the good old days.

McLaren relaunched their supporters club as "McLaren+", which is not interesting at all, except that the site is like 80% orange: http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/mclaren+/ (also Zak Brown said they don't expect to win until 2018, welp that's all folks)

Remember when they first announced they hired Zak Brown and I said I didn't think he was really going to make good decisions?

You don't have those guys in America? I like the part where the bus will be empty and they will sit right next to you. Did you know "the world is controlled by 7 families including the bin laden's..." *sips special brew though a straw E: It's called "care in the community" which brings us full circle right back to Ron.

If Ron was in charge of McLaren right now we'd be getting an excellent lecture of the synergy of a red and grey paint scheme and how they were definitely going to win the WDC with a title sponsor this year. Under Zak Brown we've just gotten orange.

Honestly they should re-brand as McClaren to finish Ron off. (Along with half of the Worst Thread).

I don't understand a word of what this Zak Brown guy is saying, I keep having to run it through a Ronspeak translator. "At McLaren we take a longer term view in assessing the achievability of our goals when it comes to motor racing and being pragmatic allows us to be quietly confident that our ability to achieve those goals to a satisfactory standard will be strongest in 2018." Makes perfect sense now. Guy needs to speak English more.

Don't worry, you are giving money to a track desperate to claw back any money they can after being bent over the table by Bernie already. Dislike young max all you like, but the money from his army of fans over the last couple of years may have saved Spa.

I would think that a Ron Dennis hater like wicka would be happy that he got ousted, but that's not enough. Everyone has to be happy that the best team in F1 is run by a marketing exec who thinks calling a thing mclrn+ is good marketing
