maybe McLaren needs more budget.
The last time I heard Ferrari spent USD300 million for development. But since the new rule and everything as well as the new rule on engine development...the budget must be a bit low now. Kimi got pole twice consecutively in Germany and Hungary. Looks like McLaren are back. Hope got the 3rd one in Turkey. But still lack of straight line speed compare to Ferrari. Wonder how fast they go against Renault for that matter. Also, how they cope with Bridgestone next season. |

Budget would be no problem for McLaren....what they short of is geniuses and good feedbacks....Untill those 2 feedbacks can be solved, you wont see a bulletproof McLaren just yet....

The only strongest point of McLaren is at high downforce high/low speed cornering but short in acceleration and top speed...For instance Monaco this year....Alonso was trying to run away but Kimi just stayed behind him like glue....Renault are weak at that kinda race track...Same as Canada... |

Budget iwse, Ferrari is unbeatable. Phillip Morris will pump in money that many teams dream of. But Macca is not to be toyed. We stole Alonso from under Briatore's nose and Vodafone from Ferrari
