Would suggest that he gets a ghost writer because if it's just publishing Ronspeak no one will buy it.
Meanwhile back on topic "Can McLaren compete" the coming season looks good for WCC points. Mercedes Power unit, lessons learned on packaging, and an exciting driver pairing who would seem more likely to feed off each other than to set out competing to the disadvantage of the team.
They should also be pretty good PR for the Mclaren brand.

Don't we wish that is all true, almost for the good of the whole damn sport...

I would like to see Danny beat Max, or Checo for that matter, a couple of times this year. I am not asking for much, let that happen and I will be smiling in my coma watching Lewis win race after race.

High hopes with that Merc engine. I expect them to be up with the Aston Martins at worst this year

I'd like to see Danny and Lando do just that..... Don't write Lando off just yet.

I should think they'll be doing a fair bit better than that?

Not disagreeing but just wondering why you think that. After all the AM will effectively be the 2020 Merc with upgrades.

Given the way that McLaren have made good chassis one might hope that a '21 power unit from Mercedes would push them ahead of a green coloured '20 Mercedes. It is probably all in the packaging, hopefully not too many compromises with a new power unit.

McLaren say their car will be relatively new despite the restrictions on new car design
