Will DC never win the WDC?

According to Mercedes Motorsport boss Norbert Haug, David shouldn't be looking at the number one spot next year either.

"It's unrealistic for us to have title aspirations. Our first aim right now is to have a competitive car," he said at Mercedes Stars and Cars day on Saturday. "We will have to work very hard this winter to improve these positions in the coming championship. We have a lot of work ahead us. We want to be where we were in 1998 and 1999, which is right at the top in the Formula One championship."

However, Martin Whitmarsh thinks that Kimi has what it takes to do the job one day

Managing director Martin Whitmarsh is fully confident that up and coming Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen will be able to handle the pressure of fighting for title glory when finally given the necessary equipment to do so.
"We haven't produced a car that has allowed Kimi to be a title contender this year, so he hasn't had the pressures that Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard have enjoyed and endured in recent years," he said. "But, if we had the package, and when you look at his psyche, you think he can handle it. One thing's for sure, he certainly will be able to next year or the year after."


Are McLaren just using DC to get the car to where it was a few years ago so that it will enable Kimi to win the WDC?
