Then Alonso shows his emotion the next time by driving close to the pit wall 

If he wins the next French GP...then the WDC is in his hands.

The team had set themselves a clear and a hard goal for the team to conquer, that goal was simple, to get ahead of Ferrari, the team wanted a 0.15 improvement every grand prix, which would be a hard thing to do, since there are many back to back races, the McLaren team would have their work cut out, the McLaren team have exceeded their goal, and are making a 0.2 second improvement, every race.

At the start of the 2007 season, the McLaren team were around 0.5 to a second a lap slower than the dominant Ferrari's, this changed, as McLaren turned the disadvantage on its head, and got their first win of the 2007 season at Malaysia.

In Bahrian, the Ferrari's appeared to have the edge on the softer of the tyres, leaving Felipe Massa to win the Grand Prix.

The turning point in the seven races that have passed was almost certainly Ferrari's new Europe car, which debuted at the Spanish Grand Prix. Reliability problems stopped Kimi Raikonen's race winning chances in their tracks, as Felipe Massa won infront of Lewis Hamilton, things were about to change for both McLaren and Ferrari.

The Monaco Grand Prix was nothing short of dominated by Fernando Alonso and McLaren, with Lewis Hamilton in close persuit, Ferrari were no where to be seen, leaving McLaren a healthy lead in both championships.

Canada was set to be Ferrari's race, this was not the case, both Ferrari's struggling to beat the faster McLaren's. Felipe Massa was disqualified, and Kimi finished a dissapointed 5th, with McLaren superstar, Lewis Hamilton winning the incident packed race.

Just seven days later, the same result was repeated, many people betted against McLaren, and thought Ferrari would be faster, this was not the case, Ferrari were 0.3-0.5 seconds behind the faster McLaren's and McLaren CEO Martin Witmarsh intends to keep Ferrari behind, as the McLaren team are already preparing upgrades to the ultra quick MP4-22.

"This year more than ever, it's all about a broad number of very minor changes," Whitmarsh said. "We're really on a very micro-level managing airflow around the car. And we've got a great team of young engineers with the bit between their teeth, charging along.

"But they're not complacent because Ferrari is a good competition and want to win this championship too and they will keep the pressure on us.

"We've got high confidence in the engineering processes - we see improvements straight away on the stopwatch. We've got a reasonably good step forward in the pipeline for France and, looking at the development system, we've got some more things coming through."

"Aerodynamics are still the determining factor," Whitmarsh added. "We started out at the beginning of the year with a target of 0.15 seconds per race improvement and we increased that to 0.2 seconds per race. Now we're doing better than that."

Unlike Ferrari dominance, we still have intra team racing, which IMO is still very good. Remember that in 1989, McLaren won 15 of the 16 races, but it was not boring as Senna and Prost battled between themselves all teh way

Dude. Let's not make some anti-Hamilton remarks here ok? This is a McLaren thread after all. Which ever of the two drivers win will also benefit the team as a whole. With the Ferrari charging up the WDC, I rather see Lewis taking more points to minimize the possibility of the team losing this season's crown. If you wanna post anti-Hamilton remarks, open your own Alonso-worship thread

its just a small drivers error,chance for it to happen are 1/9999999999999999999999just plaine unlucky

No smoke without fire,thats because mclaren did something wrong,anything we can talk about except this?and what the others post assulted you?your Criticism to ferrari's fans just because its all about bad/negatif of mclaren,you would probably say ferrari fans are fantastic if we praised how fast is mclaren all over the ferraris thread,you hear someone say something you dont like and make critism to them,but what we talk are facts

LOL i knew sure some of them will come here after my comment.
nice idiom there Pot calling kettle black.

lyns ferrari fans are immature?you've directly insulted  to all ferrari's fans in lyn,and can you justify your sentence above?

IMHO,judging your post you are not against what ferrari fans critism of mclaren but your self,you say ferraris fans(lyns) are immature,posting stupid/non-constructive post,its just an utter excuses/expresses of how you hated what the fact we posted,as you just hated on what ppl criticism on anything related to you,moreover flaming to you,glance at you post ,biased?i knew you were trying to conceal conceits of yourself,

We are not stirring up your thread, we just don't like it when you people call us immature, just like when Massa caused Alonso to eat sand few races back, you MATURE people said the same thing too

IMO, the most annoying is those team that steals other team's information. 

really assaulting ,and your sentense make no sense at all,stupic

did i ever mentioned "stupid"?how did you know iam gonna sayit ?

Cos Alonso overtook him?

he nearly took both of them out leaving so little space for Alonso, whining about Hamilton 'blocking' him when he was 3-4 second behind Hamilton  

My dad was shouting when Alonso was close in behind Massa, the last time i saw he did that was watching Mika fighting with Schumi

scolding bout what?the wheel touch?
the one Mika uses the backmarker to pass Schumi?ya that was my fav overtaking all time

Hail Mika
