Give me a month if the season ends and Fernando Alonso has less WDC points than the WCC points of Toro Rosso-Honda or less WDC points than Stroll. :toxx:

Hmmm... since the season hasn't started and you aren't backing out, just changing the conditions, yes, I'll allow it.

I'll take a month if Ferrari come higher than fourth in the WCC or if McLaren win a race, whichever happens first (neither will happen) :toxx:

The McLaren one is multi-season by the way. I genuinely believe they won't ever win an F1 race again after watching Grand Prix Driver.

e: in fact the McLaren one may as well be a full toxx ban

If McLaren are right and their chassis is as well sorted as they think it is, then there's a chance they sneak a win away from Red Bull.

If they aren't, we're gonna know all about it by round 3.

There are two cool and good people at McLaren, Eric Boullier and Fernando Alonso. Both of them have confidence and an air of "I know what I'm doing".

Everyone else was walking around using Ron-speak despite the fact that he's dead or retired or whatever. The rot has clearly set in.

Yeah they were like the only two who seemed to know what was going on, although being rather depressed and fatalistic about it. Everyone else seemed deluded or panicking or didn't know what they were doing.

That's a bold statement! I mean yeah, they've been a joke lately, but F1 just kind of goes like that. Winning team turns to garbage with new formula(s) and then gets it right eventually and turns around... maybe a winning season is a stretch right now, but I can't help but assume they'll fluke into a race win if nothing else in the next year or three.

The last time McLaren won a race it was 2012 when they couldn't understand how the car was actually better than what their simulations showed. The team is piss.

Two legendary British teams in the dumps. McLaren has more cache so I can see them returning to their winning ways. I think Williams has now become Tyrrell.

McLaren just has way more money and resources than Williams ever has. Ojjeh is a billionaire, Peter Lim is a billionaire, Bahrain is a whole country, etc. It doesn't even really matter that they barely have any sponsors, the owners could fund the team almost indefinitely if they were so inclined. It's hard to imagine a future in which they don't return to the front.
