Noted fraud team McLaren F1 has been oddly silent on the engine and design front. Perhaps they were too busy courting failing computer manufacturers.

It's narrated by Michael Douglas so I guess so, but it apart from Zak it's all non-americans

Just binged it, no real race-time following which I thought it was going to be, just really about the drivers, car build, and Honda, just like their season, bit of a let down

Watching the McLaren thing now. Holy poo poo the first scene with the Honda guys was amazing. The transmission didn't line up, and you could tell the McLaren guys wanted to strangle someone. The cameras being there may have been the only thing keeping the Honda staff alive.

Do they have a fix for the visor getting covered in poo poo during the race? A squeegee man in the pits?

There is a scene within the first four minutes of this series where a man uses a McLaren-branded, carbon fiber spacer to ensure that all the chairs at a conference table are spaced evenly apart. It is everything I love about this team.

They shouldn't need them on the helmet anymore. Nascar has full windshield tear-offs

mclaren do not come off well in this enthralling and very interesting documentary. Their dudes look pretty racist to the honda guys. Stoffel is so boring. zac is a dumbo moron in a big limo. gently caress.

The only good bit is when the PR guy is done bullying the poo poo out of stoffel. 'dont be the guy that makes that mistake' - saying we can win.

Then fernando walks in in his jeans and gives no shits.

fernando: there will be less overtaking.
pr twat: are you urgh... planning on saying that?

Then at the end, in the 'where are they now' bit, turns out hes resigned.
