HISTORY OF McLAREN
McLAREN IN FORMULA 1
The McLaren Formula One team is rich in heritage, having been formed in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren. Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Limited as it was then known set to work on building a Formula One car, and three years later the team made its debut at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix.
The team scored their first race win in 1968, when Bruce McLaren piloted a McLaren-Ford to victory. Tragically though the New Zealander lost his life at a Can Am testing accident at the Goodwood Circuit in 1970, but the team continued his legacy, winning races in Formula One and expanding into Indy and Can-Am Racing.
In 1974 the team celebrated its first Formula One Drivers' and Constructors' Championship win, with Emerson Fittipaldi in the McLaren-Ford M23. The next Drivers' Championship came courtesy of English driver James Hunt, behind the wheel of the McLaren-Ford M23 in 1976.
To date the team has achieved the highest number of double race wins of any pair of Formula 1 drivers with team-mates Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost notching up 14 wins between them in the 1988 / 89 season. The Senna / Prost partnership also holds the accolade for the most grands prix wins in a season. In 1988 the pair won 15 out of the 16 races on the calendar.
The team has won four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships (1988-1991) and secured eight Constructors' World Championship titles, the first of which was in 1974. Today the team now has a record 11 Drivers' World Championship titles and eight Constructor's World Championships.

McLaren duo punished for impeding
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/7309337.stm
QUOTE
McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen have been penalised five grid places for impeding rivals during qualifying at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The pair had been on the second row but Hamilton will now start in ninth, one place behind his Finnish team-mate.
After qualifying they were summoned by the stewards to answer complaints they held others up in the last session.

then you better put [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tag then before somebody else flame you
The delay in Lewis's 1st stop was costly though 
Almost double the regular time

He was delay for bout 10s, how many seconds was Heikki behind Kubica at the end?Hamilton could well be fighting for 2nd place if it was a clear pit stop. That's if only but still a great drive from both the drivers.
Afterall, not so bad of a result, the best we could have got is a 3-4(behind the Ferraris) but Massa out is consider as a bonus in term of constructor championship for McLaren.
Good result given the circumstances. We didn't really have the pace today.
not bad 4 heikki but sway 4 lewis
but sway 4 lewis
congrats to heikki, i was rather surprised dat lewis din get podium at least.. oh well, still gt wat, 16 races left... but lewis still leading the standings or wat?
I thought Hamilton would be overtaking Trulli. Sad to see it after hard fight spoiled by the pit stop. Couldnt blame anyone tho, his driving style was kinda aggressive but that's what exciting.
heiki is better than hamilton this time .. hamilton no face edi . later will fight with teammate like that hamilton and alonso did
QUOTE(sheahann @ Mar 23 2008, 05:11 PM)

No la I dont think so, how could you judge by only 2 races, furthermore the first one won by Hamilton, and now Hamilton still on top of drivers championship. Hamilton will fight on his way and same goes to Heiki too. I dont see the reason why Hamilton should be ashamed of this race, afterall he started from the 9th grid. Kudos to both drivers

Considered the lack of pace plus the grid penalty, its a good performance from both drivers 
hm.. ok la .. i just feel ashamed of lewis..in the pit stop got 1 black ppl.. who is that ? in mclaren pit
