Nope they have a partnership with MB for engines and engineering - hence the MB McClaren SLR - only MB I'd ever buy BTW

Really? It would be cool to see Schumi race again, he was almost as badass a driver as Senna was.
I mean for Ferrari and Mclaren at the top of the tree again, mind i bet Lewis and Vettel will be looking forward to racing with the Man

Who wouldn't - it's like beating Muhammad Ali in a title fight, if you win.

I'll still be interested, in passing, just because it is still down to Ferrari and McLaren - why do ANY of the other teams even show up? I would just save the $$$ and have drawing for the 3rd podium spot (unless occupied by Schumi or Hamiltons teammates)

Yes but as seen Money cannot buy wins, a shed load of tallent and luck can, so why not plug away for that elusive win, a bit like the premiership
Or, just come out with a slightly different diffuser every race so you can steal some victories? Isn't that what Brawn did at the beginning of the year? They just neglected the fact that Ferrari and McLaren have tons more engineering resources to throw at things so they will win anyway
