It's almost like everyone else does everything possible to ensure that doesn't happen in the modern era.

Just lol at all you idiots who don't think this is all part of McLaren's elaborate sandbagging theatre. I for one look forward to Fernando Alonso's maiden F1 win for McLaren in Melbourne.

Here's a fun fact about mechanics, the fourth time you assemble a car from scratch the hydraulic leaks and electrical issues magically disappear.

If only McLaren had access to some sort of hydraulic system tester or a nearby auto parts store where they could assemble the $50 in parts necessary to build their own and test to see if their hydraulic system leaked

So the engine burning the engine cover is a hydraulic failure? Last week in cold conditions they where having the same problem.

It's really funny that McLaren keep failing more than some other teams, but parts breaking in testing when you're testing them is sort of normal.

Their excuse is that they don't have Lewis Hamilton, the best driver on the planet, driving their cars.

There is a new Mclaren technology centre in the good and correct North of England that isn’t designed for an OCD Bond villain. Thankfully.

I shouldn't talk because Ferrari are sponsored by Hublot, but Richard Mille may be the one watch company with less taste than Hublot.

I don't understand the hyper rich and why their watches have to look like that. I guess it's mostly athletes buying those but still. If I was hyper rich I'd just get a Patek Phillipe calendar or something.
