Autosport.com posted today that “McLaren would be ‘disappointed’ with fourth” at the conclusion of the next Formula One season. This is after coming ninth in 2015 and sixth last year. I hope, being a fan of the team, that comes to be, but whether they can come close to Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari and beat one of them remains to be seen. I love the ambition. I love that a shift in rules means somewhat of a clean sheet in design terms. But I still can’t seen a victory happening at this moment in time.
As always, I’d love to be proved wrong.
