Just call it Brabham and be done with it. They already had a partially pink (more like magenta) car anyway.

Shake'n'Bake F1 Team.

Just put the car in the bag with the pay drivers, give it a good shake and put on track for approximately 250 to 300 kms or 2 hours whatever happens first.

I'm just gonna paste this here.

quote:

McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown says that his team "can't keep doing this" after Fernando Alonso's late power unit failure in Canada robbed the team of its first top 10 finish of the year.

Alonso had run strongly in the first part of the race, before making a late pitstop.

He looked destined for 10th place until he was forced to stop at the hairpin, where he subsequently paid an impromptu visit to the grandstands.

The Spaniard also now looks set to take grid penalties for the next race in Baku, as any change of turbo or MGU-H from now on is beyond the allocation of four. Jenson Button took the first raft of penalties for his car in Monaco.

The late Montreal retirement was yet another blow to McLaren's increasingly shaky relationship with its engine partner.

"Fernando did a world champion job again, and the engine let him down again," Brown told Motorsport.com.

"It's a bit of the same old story, which is something that needs to get fixed one way or another. Because we can't keep doing this.

"I think he was clearly going to get our first � not even points � but point. It was good to see Stoffel make it to the finish. But I'm just speechless.

"You feel like you're finally going to get your first point of the year, and a couple of laps from the end, it goes. Just really poor power, and really poor reliability."

Brown agreed that heading to the next race in Baku already knowing that Alonso will be penalised was a frustrating prospect.

"It's pretty depressing for all of us. Starting at the back before you even get the weekend started, is not how we can go racing.

"All we can keep doing is pushing for developments. Nothing changes today � it just increases the frustration. But as we've said, we've got to get our act together, and it's one more race that we didn't."

Asked if the McLaren management's recent criticism of Honda was intended to send a message to the Japanese manufacturer's board he said: "I think it was important that we spoke up this weekend, it was really the first time that McLaren brought forward their views.

"I don't want to repeat ourselves, and I don't think this changes anything, it just reinforces our position.

"I think they know something needs to be done. They are frustrated, they are upset. I think today 400 million people saw what happened, so I don't think we need to communicate already further than we already have.

"I don't know what the [Honda] board thinks, but I think everyone thinks the same thing, just work hard to try and fix it. But right now, it's not fixed."

Brown continues to suggest that the summer break is the deadline for a decision on 2018 plans: "There or thereabouts. We'll see where we are then."

How many more races will it be he does the formation lap, then goes and parks it and sits in the stands the rest of the race?

Unlike that fraud Ron who was nothing more than a poo poo mechanic for a guy who died during Australia's only reason of relevancy beyond the Grand Prix -- Zak has actually raced/races.

Good idea, start and park gets you that sponsorship money without wasting your time.

Will he even bother attempting qualifying? It'd be nice to see him go out and rolling roadblock hamilton.

He's got a car in LMP2 at LeMans in fact, although with the "wrong" chassis. (#32)

So if Honda knows this too now, why would they put any effort in trying to improve their engine now?

And yeah I know, how much worse can it get, but still.

Presumably they are going to remain in the sport. But if the announcement is coming they are already looking to 2018.

This is an insanely bad take, if McLaren decided to move on they wouldn't give a gently caress about Honda.

There's no need to interpret what McLaren is saying. It's extremely clear: fix your poo poo or we're moving on. They wouldn't be saying that if they had already made a choice.

I'm getting a little exhausted with McLaren-Honda chat to be honest. It's a fitting end to the Ron Dennis era - 24 years of bad decisions bit him in the rear end.

It would be difficult to overhaul a works team with a customer engine but perhaps McLaren could do it. They certainly have the resources. I'm not sure if it's enough to retain Alonso.
