F1 Fanatic

Japan and Abu Dhabi, yes, Germany and Hungary, Monaco and possibly Spain

Yes it was

Here is the article in question before it was deleted:

A few choice quotes from McLaren Applied Technologies managing director Geoff McGrath:

“We’ve started way behind [Red Bull] in the last couple of years — that’s the really disappointing thing. But when we’re behind, you can see that historically we always catch up faster than anyone else.”

“[Sebastian Vettel] must be a brilliant driver, because by the end of last season we definitely had the best car and he was still whupping us. We’re trying to figure out exactly what he’s doing that’s so good. How does he pull out that fast qualifying lap every time? We think it’s driver skill. There’s no trickery on the cars, he just gets more out of it than we do.”

Pretty much says it all.

Says nothing, I’m sure the article was deleted for a reason

What Steph said.

Whatever the reasons for this article being pulled are, it’s generated a bit of publicity and interest in the team ahead of the launch tomorrow. Even I’m excited for it, and I really don’t like McLaren!

Hardly shows faith in your own drivers if you make a quote like that.

@pamphlet depends on your viewpoint really. I’m sure Seb is happy :P
@Magnificent-Geoffrey they have better accents. ;)
@jleigh Maybe McLaren didn’t want people to know a McLaren man said that?

Here’s a full sized screen grab for easier reading btw:

I always said McLaren’s proposed Sedative Dispensing System for Lewis’ car would never get by the FIA.
