    It would save Mercedes a heck of a lot of money if they just bought Adrian Newey, even if they had to double what he is currently getting paid.

    Number of staff will not solve the problem, they need somebody that is clever like Adrian.

    McLaren have already said they will be building their own engine. I thought that was to start next year ...

    Guys, don't get excited.

    All these people are being put into the front wing fabrication department.

    Which, coincidentally, confirms that Schumi will be driving for them next year.

    Bob Bell, Ross Brawn, and Red Bull's chief aerodynamics guy (Newey's #1 point-man is probably headed to MB) aren't enough?? That's pretty much a list of who's who in F1 and it's tough to get better than these fellows.

    In the half-baked W02, yes. Remember, W02 was designed by essentially the '10 staff which included none of the heavyweights they have now. The team had no one in place until very late '10. Still, they have developed the best flexi wing copy on the grid, the best nose design, best DRS rear wing, best rear suspension setup (Ferrari and Macca have now copied it) and now the best diffuser. W02s high CoG, stubby sidepods, and short base sure doesn't help anything though :/

    You want a source for Mclaren complaining about unfair treatment. Their number 1 driver... look no further.

    The source is person that tweets. British Newscorp style sources at it's best.

    Good luck Mclaren... I really hope they go through with it.

    How many fruitless years did Red Bull have before they found success?

    How many beer bets did Andreas make? :D

    All the best,
