Re: Eric Boullier leaves mclaren
I read a post on another site that made me think. Last week everyone realized exactly where Mclaren are. Had it not been for Alonso keeping them afloat with his (tempted to say .7 here but i won't :twisted: ) good performances, they would probably realized a lot sooner. So was he good for them or ba...

Don't forget guys, they are called 'negotiations' for a reason.
"I will not sign without a get out clause".
OK, we will give another 2.5 million PA

Re: Eric Boullier leaves mclaren
This was in the cards. I never rated Boullier much, but what do I know? In other news, it seems that the McLaren Group is under an (mysterious) investigation, I wonder if this restructure is part of this. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/06/30/mystery-investigation-could-put-brake-mclarens...
