Oh well I figured out the problem Honda. You need petrol, not cocaine to power your engine.

Yeah. Palmer's money is keeping him in that seat until the end of 2017. Hence why Cyril said he's not going anywhere.

Also not watching practice but it sounds like a *voice of that Cow guy from Rocko's Modern Life* hoot!

McLaren shareholder Mansour Ojjeh says the team's current tribulations with Honda are the most uncompetitive it has been in Formula 1.

With McLaren yet to score a point in the 2017 F1 season and having not been on the podium since the start of its final year with Mercedes power in 2013, Ojjeh said the team's plight was unprecedented.

"This is really new territory for us," he told Motorsport.com. "We've never been so uncompetitive in F1.

"We did have a terrible year with Peugeot, but this time around Honda has completely underestimated the job."

Even during its short-lived partnership with Peugeot in 1994, McLaren achieved eight podium finishes and was fourth in the constructors' championship.

It is now into the longest win drought in its history, with the gap since Jenson Button's 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix victory surpassing the fallow period between James Hunt's 1977 Japanese GP win and John Watson's 1981 British GP win.

Ojjeh admitted maintaining morale and keeping hold of personnel was getting harder.

"We're working as hard as possible but what's hard to do in the company is keep hold of the fantastic people and keep them motivated," he said.

"When you're winning, that's much easier � as it was in 1988 when we won 16 out of 17 races. It's actually hard to keep people motivated when you win regularly, and to keep them motivated when you're bad is really hard.

"That comes down to management, and thankfully most of the people that work for us are proud to be working for McLaren."

He fears that McLaren's other businesses could soon be tarnished by its poor F1 performance.

"We're the only competitor that you can compare to Ferrari, in that we have road cars and a Formula 1 car," said Ojjeh. "But that does mean we need success in Formula 1 to keep the story together.

"We can't be bad at one and really good at the other one. The road car company is doing fantastically well. Unfortunately right now we have an F1 engine problem that we have to solve. Everything else is great: great drivers, great team."

Imagine the scene in Transformers The Movie where Hot Rod is fighting Galvatron in Unicron and Hot Rod finally gets back the Matrix of Leadership from Galvatron and you hear Optimus Prime's voice say "Arise... Rodimus Prime" and Hot Rod transforms into Rodimus Prime and throws Galvatron out of Unicron.

Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime is Williams.

Galvatron is McLaren.

Unicron is Bernie.

The Matrix of Leadership is a Mercedes engine supply deal.

It's not unreasonable given Hamilton was pretty much given complete amnesty for the first 2 years. Brundle wouldn't even talk to him on the grid walks, in order not to disturb his focus.
