There's also the Paul Stoddart Memorial forum at f1rejects.com which is pretty good. A few teenagers post some e/n, fastasy, gaming, football or reddit stuff, but otherwise pretty good.
Run by a couple of Aussies that did write ups on F1 rejects, and a few race podcasts that are mildly amusing in a "Roy and HG" sort of way.

So the rumour that McLaren could buy out Manor GP's entry and run a B team is kind of cool. I hope they do that. Keep the McLaren livery the gay boring chrome and have the B team run in Can Am orange with period detailing.

Where in the gently caress are McLaren getting that kind of money.

Better question, does that mean that it'll be Manor-Honda?

Still. Last time someone hastily re-engineered an old car to take a new engine it worked out pretty ok.

Does TR benefit red bull in anyway at all? With the restriction on sharing information it seems to be a driver training benefit and nothing more. Mclaren need to concentrate on making a car that can go fast for a change.

The F1 Times story was that McLaren is a Marussa creditor and it wouldn't take much over and above what's already owed to them to buy it out.

Then they put Van Doorne and K-Mag in the car and just start ramming STRs.

Data sharing between teams, but not the engine suppliers. Honda need all the data they can get.

I'm genuinely interested to see how Ferrari do this year, if they start competing with Williams and RBR I really think there may be some weight behind the "Alonso sucks at testing" sentiment and they just needed someone in there like Vettel to put in the time.

Alonso might suck at testing but that is not really an excuse when you have other drivers around for feedback.

mclaren have a lot of money, they'd be able to afford it. the problem is that it's far too short notice for honda to supply a second team or for manor to adapt their chassis to the honda engine. does anyone really think mclaren are going to own a ferrari powered team? lol no

It's a shame they have so much debt as they'd surely be an attractive purchase otherwise. I'm guessing they need to be sold or they are going under. It's unlikely anyone will lend them any more money, even in the la-la world of F1.

I think he does the opposite to what he was doing when they split. Last year he was winning, I don't like the flip of that. His music career is about to explode, this is a bad thing.

Don't blame McLaren. They slimmed down the MP4/30 so much, but they can't do anything about Fred's neck.
