McLaren
Doctor Gollum:
It would be bad for the supercar market given that VAG already owns more than its fair share of the pinnacle brands... Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi... :-\
Mclaren has form with BMW as the bulk of the F1s produced had the BMW V12 fitted, even though it was originally offered with a choice of either BMW or Mercedes V12s.

This is most concerning. It may well affect the choice of my next car purchase. ;D

It’s bad enough that they also own more than their fair share of the normal market. And the marketing wank would have you believe that they're all different brands selling different products. :-X

From memory, there is an engine freeze at the end of this season till 2025. I think that's why Horner is so worried with the recent apparent surge in Merc power, because if they can't get their power up before the end of this season then they're stuck with what they've got for the next 3 seasons.
From 2025 there are new F1 engine rules, and I think they're aiming to be using 100% biofuel, because that's much greener obvs ::).
