McLaren to switch to Honda engines

[ZakspeedYakspeed]

Excellent..........

That's the news I want to hear
I am sure Mclaren this time will make sure they are de facto no 1 team although Honda may supply other teams and my feeling is either Williams (Williams-Honda) or Lotus ( Lotus-Honda) both sound like a good bet

Well I hope we get the red & white liviery back (even thought it was Marlboro).

There is a chance that Mclaren may return to an orange livery.

Mclaren are keeping quiet who the sponsor might be after Vodafone leave

Rumours are it could be Telmex so what is their sponsor colours?

The orange livery was last seen at a launch in 1997 before they revealed West were the team's sponsor and the cars were going to be silver liveried

Telmex seems to be some kind of blue, Honda will by white and red. (White with a red sun.)

UK has a Red White and Blue flag

So red white and blue it is then....

 

[sobriety]

They need a driver with a yellow crash helmet though...

Nothing but Caterham use a similar colour, I think the one they use is too bright to be BRG.

Yellow enough?

Anyway, McLaren currently have the best engine on the grid and are managing to fuck things up. What makes anyone think have a Honda engine is going to compensate for a crap chassis and two mediocre drivers?

 

[Mephistopheles]

Ouch...!

 

[Fenderman]

Orange alert! Prepare to raise shields ...

JB is over the moon with Honda's return...

Mephistopheles - He's good and properly media trained, isn't he? Either that or he's on the tablets that control his usual violent reactions to the phrases "Honda Racing", "Earth Car" or "2007-08" for this particular press conference.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Those earth cars were dire weren't they...

 

[The Pits]

Brazil 2008 Andy Shovlin gave Jenson a cigarette lighter on the grid, just in case the car broke down....

The way this years McLaren is performing they should issue both drivers with a book of Suduko puzzles and let them sit the race out in the pits. It would be less embarrassing for a team who have won title with the likes of Fittipaldi, Lauda, Prost and Senna.

I live in hope that they will turn it around FB I'm just glad that the bookmark function has gone from this site.

What, you mean where I predicted that McLaren wouldn't win a single race in 2013 Mephistopheles?
