Mclaren will probably have a pretty good car next year, but they will still win jack poo poo because they have no clue how to run a F1 team properly (TBF the same thing can be said about Ferrari, minus the good car part).

The funniest thing in the history of Man would be an announcement from Ferrari tomorrow that they've patched things up with Fernando and he's seeing out the last year of his contract. McLaren respond by confirming one-year extensions for both drivers.

Hopefully Alonso was shown the Honda engine and how powerful it's going to be and that's why he decided to go to McLaren...

Alonso's dream was always McLaren for some reason

McLaren is the most British team and therefore the best

Basically it means someone who is yellow on the outside and white on the inside, which given the location of the race is in very poor taste.

Part of a statement made today

"Ron "The banana" Dennis posted:

The first thing we've got to be is massively attractive to all drivers and I hope we're still very attractive to the two who are currently and more than likely will be driving the cars next year."

Bolded for emphasis, Ron implies after the Vettel bombshell that he still may intend to keep both of his drivers. Which leaves alonso at ferrari, and either vettel spends a year at force India or sauber, on the sidelines, or we all laugh ferrari once again having to buy kimi out of his contract. Any of these options sound good to me.

Aren't they tossing around the idea of giving teams another car if one of the teams drops?

It all could be an evil ploy by Ron Dennis - lead Alonso on up until the point he's about to sign on the dotted line, and then confirm Button and Magnussen instead, leaving Alonso without a drive.
