I have a sustained belief that Mclaren have got their focus in the wrong place with all the imaging they seem so keen on (the latest fad being the chrome

If they returned to the old regime of being a racing team as the main priority I believe they'd be in a different place right now...
Oh yes and let's not forget the % share of Chysler in the team, through Mercedes ownership.. and what have American constructors ever done for F1 that's been noted as great or good?!
*other examples of excessive imaging:
the whole of the new HQ!!
those gastly new team tshirts
OTT pushing of the "ooh we're black & mysterious image
