Been say they are after a sponsor since the first test. That was a good lap on super softs with low fuel.

I predicted yesterday that by the end of the test the times would be high 1:34s or low 1:35s. It seems that it's going to be more like 1:33. The extra power and acceleration that the cars have will certainly help on this track.
It's not like his track record is exactly dismal...
It's a pretty enviable record, in fact.
yea someone on here who works at redbull said they did it , I think for spa last year or the year before.
You think the Constructors is more highly valued than the drivers?
I think it should be but it isn't. It's like the FA cup, you only shout about it when you are can't win the league. The drivers title is all 99% of the world care about. It's what all the coverage is about and the whole panto.
Quoted the wrong bloody thing
Depends who we're talking about. The teams just want the constructors championship to help 'sell' the team/company/products. The drivers of course just care about drivers championship.
Fans? Depends if you follow a team / driver or maybe country.
That is not entirely true.
Dice, are you saying that teams are not (most of the time), looking for higher paying sponsors, or in McLaren's case a main title sponsor?
I think you work in F1, so you know a lot on this topic, so by all means enlighten us.
My way of thinking is that a big title sponsor is better than no sponsor. It makes sense to get the extra money. No team/company can afford to pass up extra money. The more money/income the better. At least that's what I'm thinking.
Personally, I think McLaren will have a main sponsor, in a few weeks time, for financial reasons.

I don't think Mclaren need a title sponsor or main sponsor this year. I saw an interview with Sam Michaels a couple of months ago where he stated how finanically sound and secure Mclaren are and how Mclaren don't need to have a title sponsor this year, and let's not forget that Mclaren do have a lot of other sponsors anyway. One year without a main or title sponsor isn't going to hurt them, we're not talking about a team like Marussia and their budget here...
