It is not going to win at the moment.
For the time being the thing I like most about it is the colour.

I really hope he didn't say that, cos it doesn't bode well for McLaren if that's the way he's feeling about the car <no>

He did. I saw a quote in F1racing.net someplace, but he was complainging about the car, someone asked him if there was anything he liked about it, he responded "the color is nice"

Guess we'll have to wait till the season starts to see whether 'Lonso is just in a complaining mood, or McLaren really have got a dud car. <yikes>

Well it doesn't appear to be a 'dud'...remember, Alonso is used to having a perfect car at the start of the season. He needs to remember that this is Mclaren...and there are 4 weeks till the season starts.

His car doesn't say 'Alonso is king' on it.

Again this is probably a Spanish quote which has been badly translated by the press so that it means what they want it to mean.

I interpreted his comment to mean that the Renault was hideously ugly and that he was jolly glad to be driving the McLaren because the Renault would clash terribly.

Not with anything.

It just clashes.

He also said it was reliable.

Nothing about fast...

Hey, maybe Ron has finally dropped the 'make a fast car reliable' philosophy that has screwed him royally over the last few years, and like I've suggested for the last two years, will finally make a reliable car go fast.....

However, I now predict he'll have a huge sad-on with Alonso, favour Hamilton, and Ferdy will quite the team after the end of next season claiming he didn't get the support he needed......

"I said last week that the car was pretty good, but we had to improve some things, and it was interpreted like I said the car was very bad, and I also said that I liked the colours and it was interpreted like I said it was the only thing I liked," he added.
