Message: [QUOTE="Enja, post: 38216, member: 165"] There were numerous problems with the McLarens over the 2000s. They were fast, but particularly in the middle of the decade, they were fragile. Me pointing to an engine blow-up is just a spectacular way of emphasising that point. Obviously the actual engines are created by MHPE not Newey. But the car, as a whole, predominantly is. I don't claim to know the technics but it's an oft-repeated saying, that Newey always went to the limits with the way his cars were packaged, and that led to a higher number of failures. I don't know if that's true or not. Certainly at Red Bull they are on the cutting edge of the current regulations which led to a high number of failures last year. Is it a coincidence? I don't know.
