Interestingly, that article also states that "
The issue at the heart of the problems within McLaren all that year was Alonso's demand for the team to focus their title challenge on him, rather than split their efforts by giving team-mate Lewis Hamilton equal status.
That was true to McLaren's long-stated ethos. But Whitmarsh later discovered that when Dennis signed Alonso he had indeed promised him priority status, only to go back on his word."....

This is the strongest line up on the grid aside from Mercedes ! If Honda can sort out their engine then we could see some serious battles with Mercedes
I'll add in that last time Jenson thought his career was finished in 2008 then the next season was extraordinary for him so will lightning strike twice
He did take a pay cut like last time
Mclaren , HOnda and 2 world champions suddenly it looks like a real serious combination

"If Honda can sort out their engine". Mclaren had the strongest engine this season and with it they managed to finish 5th, 520 points behind the winning constructor. Their engine isn't the problem.

The difference for 2015 is a new technical team, and a technical parner (in Honda), rather than being a customer to Mercedes (with no technical information being released because of the upcoming Honda allegiance).

pirateplunder Correct but no one knows whether Honda will be able to make up the deficit - last time their turbos were far more powerful than the rest in 1988
They've got two of the best racers come Sunday

Or a team of has-beens!
I agree with pirateplunder - they're going to have to pull their finger out in the chassis/aero department next year or it could be even worse than this year.

I recommend getting the leaf springs delivered in an unmarked van.

Movistar apparently has enough money to burn to run a cycling team. Can't see how F1 sponsorship is much different. And to correct a later post they are dark blue and lime green.
Also you forgot the 2014 "We don't have sponsors nor graphic designers" livery
Should be very interesting to see what kind of tune Jenson and Fernando are singing come 2016. 
I hear the new Macca pilots will be releasing a cover version duet in time for Christmas, entitled 'We Were the Champions'.
