Should Mclaren pull out of F1 and start new series?
Apr 02, 2009 by Martin | Posted in Formula One
F1 is quick becoming a farce. Is it time for Mclaren and other teams to start a new series?
No, but I expect it's time for a little more honesty and understanding if something was a deliberate mistake or not as its not always clear if it is a mistake or not.
McLaren is a great band which I support, but like all the teams, I only hope they can stick to the ever increasing complex rules and win rather than any other way.
I find it a hideous that every term one team makes a mistake or maybe deliberate act, that all the fans start verbally attacking the other teams as the gamble increases.

Mclaren being caught out cheating. (Again)
That's what's turning F1 into a farce synchronize.

What Red and white paints are needed for Mclaren Tamiya models?
Jan 07, 2008 by patav2 | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts
Im getting a Mclaren MP4/8 paragon and i need to know what Tamiya paints are needed.
On MOST of the Tamiya kits I've purchased, they have the Foremost paint colors printed on the side of the box !! IF it involves mixing paints, Tamiya prints directions on the instruction slab...
That said Tamiya #20039 should use TS-8 Italian Red and TS-7 Racing White

What do you think the outcome for mclaren will be in tomorrows fia meeting?
Jul 25, 2007 by jonww | Posted in Formula One
I deem even if mclaren are found quilty they will only face a fine ,because the fia want the championship to go to the wire ,and they would like to see Hamilton to win,so to deduct points will have an adverse virtually on this year championship.
However i think ferrari will take this scandal to the high court and go for massive compensation!
on the otherhand if mclaren our found not quilty then i still assume ferrari will still go to the high court!
Tough call for the fia!
Views?
I irresolution anything definitive will come of it. The only way there will be a reprimand or dq of McLaren will be if they are found to have benefitted from the information Coughlan possessed.
What is interesting, I read on Autosport last week, is that a line-up could be seen to benefit from another's information in more ways than simply stealing ideas to improve their own car; they could for example use poop to build their own instance of the rival chassis and test it to see where it is more or less competitive.
However, there is the suggestion that Stepney tipped Coughlan about the emotive floor on the Ferrari and that is how McLaren knew to protest. It is possible to consider McLaren may have gained from this knowledge insofar as the take exception may have rattled Ferrari.
Tricky business.
I think Ferrari will continue to press the issue as wish as possible. Simply put, if they can gain even a small psychological advantage they will reach for it.
