Newey is a supporter of formula w, presumably because he thinks he can get easier access to jockey sized drivers through it.

I can't believe I didn't make this connection before but Zak Brown is literally Teddy Meyer lmao McLaren ending up in a disorganized shambles and being left behind by everyone else with an American team principal.

Zak Brown is a terrible team leader because he hasn’t worked out how to hide his unbearable ego and arrogance in the media like the rest of them.

Say what you want about McLaren but they have the excuse that their motor isn't the best. Williams doesn't have that excuse. Williams: The Saddest Team in Formula 1

https://www.racefans.net/2018/10/18/mclaren-announce-coca-cola-sponsorship-deal/ So McLaren signed on Coca-Cola to hawk Dasani & SmartWater (the worst loving bottled water on the market) for the remainder of the 2018 season. No idea if this deal carries forward into 2019 and I doubt it. Zak operates on the basis of money now worry later rather than Ron's "portfolio of prestigious partners".

Wirth1000 posted:https://www.racefans.net/2018/10/18/mclaren-announce-coca-cola-sponsorship-deal/ I'd say Coke is a pretty prestigious partner... not specifically marketed to dumb rich fucks as a luxury good, but it's one of the few universally understood and recognized brands. PLUS... now they can make a Size "Coke Zero" car livery.  #SYNERGY

If it generates some buzz then they have the chance to up it and go for bigger events and exposure next year and the years following. Following that, McLaren is still somewhat prestigious. They're not Ferrari levels but they probably have more recognition behind them than Force India, Williams or Haas, aren't tied to a certain Energy Drinks company, aren't as expensive as Mercedes or anywhere near as expensive as Ferrari and McLaren probably have way more sex appeal than Renault.
